ment. Shortly after his return lie presented to the board of di¬ 
rectors the following faculty:—W. W. Fraley, Prof, of Materia 
Medica and Therapeutics; J. J. Corbyn, Prof, of Pathology, 
Surgery, and Practice of Medicine, in reference to all domestic 
animals; G. W. Bowler, Prof, of Medical Chemistry and Phar¬

Surgery ; which was accepted. A building was rented at the
