in Great Britain. The loss in human life cannot of course be 
estimated, and it is a matter for regret that so dangerous a disease, 
capable of suppression, should, contrary to the advice of the 
ablest veterinarians, be allowed to commit its ravages unchecked. 
NOTICE TO ARMY VETERINARIANS. 
At the last meeting of the Faculty of the American Veterin¬ 
ary College the following resolution was unanimously adopted : 
“ On the motion of I)r. Liautard, it was resolved that the 
gentleman now practising in the army in the capacity of veterin¬ 
ary surgeons have the privilege of attending the courses of 
lectures of the College on the payment of half fees.” 
We hope that the resolution will prove of interest to the 
practitioners in the army who are desirous of completing their 
studies, but may have been prevented from doing so through want 
of the necessary means to attend college. 
PROFESSIONAL HONORS. 
John F. Winchester, B.S., D.V.S., a graduate of the Ameri¬ 
can Veterinary College, class of ’78, has been appointed Lecturer 
upon Veterinary Science in the Massachusetts Agricultural Col¬ 
lege at Amherst. Having graduated from the scientific depart¬ 
ment of Amherst College in the class of ’75, it is highly com¬ 
plimentary to his professional endeavors that he so soon returns to 
his alma mater honored with the position of a teacher. We feel 
confident the opportunities of which he has taken advantage in 
the past render him competent to give instruction in the course 
as arranged at Amherst, and we tender him our best wishes for 
success.
