Censors, composed of not less than six veterinary surgeons whose 
names shall be affixed with the diploma, will be necessary to en¬ 
title the candidate to a degree of doctor of veterinary medicine 
and surgery.” And it shall be the duty of the president and 
officers of said college, when the applicant is found to be qualified, 
as set forth in section one of this act, to grant such applicant, on 
receipt of thirty dollars, (which sum shall be used exclusively for 
the benefit of the college), a certificate of membership signed by 
the proper officers. And said certificate shall be the suffi¬ 
cient license for the person to whom it is granted, to open an 
office in any city of the first class for the practice of veterinary 
medicine and surgery. 
Section 4. Any of the faculty or Board of Censors who 
shall be found guilty of receiving, directly or indirectly, any 
other compensation for instituting such examination than that 
which is herein provided, shall be punished by a fine or imprison¬ 
ment, or both, at the discretion of the court, the fine not to ex¬ 
ceed five hundred dollars, and imprisonment not to exceed one 
year. 
Section 5. Any person violating the provisions of this act 
shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction 
thereof shall be sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding fifty dol¬ 
lars for the use of the county wherein such misdemeanor is com¬ 
mitted. Any person so convicted shall not be entitled to any fee 
for services rendered, and if a fee shall have been paid, the same 
may be recovered as debts of like amount are now recoverable 
by law.
