CORRESPONDENCE. 
NEW VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. 
Philadelphia, Pa., February 26, 1883. 
Editor of the Review : 
For the advancement of the many interests of the veterinary 
profession, the surgeons of Philadelphia and surrounding towns, 
have formed the Keystone Veterinary Medical Association, with 
the following roll of officers: President, Dr. W. B. Miller, Cam¬ 
den, N. J.; Vice-President, Dr. W. L. Zuill, Phila.; Secretary 
and Treasurer, Dr. A. A. Grange, Phila., who has since offered 
his resignation to accept a position in the faculty of the new 
veterinary school at Minneapolis, Minn. At a second meeting 
his resignation was accepted and Dr. W. Horace Hoskins, Phila., 
was chosen to fill the offices jointly. The requirements for mem¬ 
bership permit those to become members who are graduates of 
recognized veterinary and medical schools. The society purposes 
holding monthly meetings for the reading of papers, reports of 
cases and discussions of the same. At the meeting on Dec. 2d, 
Dr. Hoskins read, as an opening essay, a paper, entitled “The 
Need, Use and Work of a Veterinary Society!” The writer’s 
views were warmly received, and the outlook for a permanent 
and valuable association to the profession, is very bright. An 
invitation is here extended to any veterinary graduate to become 
a member, who is located in or near our city. 
W. Horace Hoskins, Secy.
