FOURTH INTERNATIONAL VETERINARY CONGRESS 
The proposal to strike out the first paragraph, carrying with it 
the rejection of the proposition of Mr. Feger, was acted upon, and 
decided negatively. 
In relation to No. 2, there were two written propositions, one 
of Mr. Wirtz, providing that “ the examination for veterinary can¬ 
didature comprehends the branches taught during the first two 
years; ” 
The other, presented by Messrs. Quivogne and Larniet reads: 
“ At the end of each year the veterinary student will be examined 
upon the branches previously taught, and shall not be permitted to 
enter upon the course belonging to an advanced class unless he 
has before passed that examination.” “ The examination at the 
end of the year shall not in any case involve the rejection of the 
candidate, and he shall be entitled to a repetition of the examina¬ 
tion, when finally examined for a diploma.” 
The first part of the motion of Messrs. Larmet and Quivogne 
was accepted ; the second rejected. The General Secretary, Prof. 
Wehenkel said “In view of the adoption of the proposition of 
Messrs. Larmet & Quivogne, disposing negatively of number 2 of 
the report, and also the amendment of Mr. Wirtz, I am obliged 
to alter my proposition, and I move that “ no candidate, however, 
shall be admitted to examination as a veterinary surgeon, unless 
he has followed with success a course of clinic for at least two 
years after having passed the examination of the second year of 
study.” 
A member moved to omit the words “ with success.” The 
Secretary Very well. I am willing.” 
Another member asked whether the clinic must be followed in 
the school, and whether that of a well known practitioner would 
not answer. 
Prof. Wehenkel said he saw no objection, but that such a case 
was but a mere exception. 
Thus modified the proposition was adopted. 
Said the President, “We now reach Chapter 4, Section 3. On 
this there is: 
(a) An additional deposition signed by Mr. Eraers, and an¬ 
other by Mr. Leblanc, both asking that the jury of examination for
