COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES OF THE AMERICAN 
VETERINARY COLLEGE. 
On Friday evening, Feb. 27th, 1880, the commencement ex¬ 
ercises of the American Veterinary College were held in Chick- 
ering Hall, on Fifth Avenue corner 18th Street, New York City. 
The audience filled this large hall before the hour for the opening 
of exercises had arrived, and, while being entertained with excel¬ 
lent music from Orafulla’s Band, awaited with eager anticipation 
the entrance of the Board of Trustees, Faculty and graduating 
class. If the presence of many of the foremost scientists, philan¬ 
thropists and merchants of this country, combined with the attend¬ 
ance of a large number of New York’s fairest ladies, is any 
evidence of the interest which the public have come to feel in 
the subject of veterinary science, then our future success is fully 
guaranteed. Prof. D. B. St. John Roosa delivered the address 
to the graduating class, consisting of eighteen members, compli¬ 
menting them on having chosen a profession offering so rich a 
field for labor, investigation and advancement. The President of 
the Board of Trustees, Samuel Marsh, Fsq., conferred the degree 
of Doctor of Veterinary Surgery on the following gentlemen: 
Bailey, George H,, Portland, Me. 
Boyd, Henry B., New Rochelle, N. Y. 
Cochran, David W., N. Y. City. 
Foote, Hubert T., N. Y. City. 
Gerth, Jr., Julius, Newark, N. J.
