RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 
379 
Mr. Larinet assented generally to the opinion of Mr. Bouley, 
relating to the parrellelism which should exist between the phy¬ 
sician and veterinarian ; but he added that the latter must qualify 
and inform himself in reference to hygienic questions, and that 
in this respect they become the equal of the former. With this 
qualification he would admit the proposition of Mr. Quivogne. 
Mr. Putz moved that the second paragraph be stricken out 
Prof. Muller insisted upon the necessity of retaining paragraphs 
two and three, and proposed their adoption, with modifications, if 
necessary. 
Mr. Lustig agreed to the questions of Messrs. Hugues and 
Quivogne in their essential features; he, however, believed it 
ought to be amended, as it seemed to him that, for these gentle¬ 
men, some preparatory education should be dispensed with. 
For himself he thought the degree of Batchelor of Sciences, for 
admission in veterinary schools, equivalent to that of Batchelor 
ets lettres. It proposes to substitute for proposition A of Mr. 
Hugues and JL of Messrs. Muller and Wirtz the following: 
“ To be admitted to study one must have obtained the degree 
of Batchelor es letters or of es sciences , that is, he must have ter¬ 
minated the studies of the preliminary branches of education.” 
Mr. Hugues accepted the proposition, which was adopted by a large 
majority. 
Proposition 2d was adopted unanimously. 
Proposition 3d.—The first part was adopted after the rejection 
of the proposition of Mr. Hugues requiring five years’ study. 
The Society of Lot and Garonne, through their delegate, Mr. 
Hugues. asked that the duration of the studies be uniformly, 
four years in all. 
In relation to the 2d, Mr. Quivogne asked that the courses of 
chemistry and physic be curtailed; as long as the degree of 
Batchelor is required, the student must already possess a con¬ 
siderable amount of knowledge in these branches. 
A member remarked that, though a Batchelor, he was glad 
to study these branches again while in the school. Several 
members proposed the suppression of the words, “and of the 
practical exercises attached to it, a course.” This was agreed to, 
and the paragraph stricken out.
