and A. A. Holcombe, with some terse remarks, introduced the 
following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously 
adopted: 
Whereas. The American Veterinary College has been repeat¬ 
edly maligned by divers persons connected with the New York 
College of Veterinary Surgeons, in circulating the report that the 
last-named institution is the only one in the State chartered by 
the Legislature, and authorized to issue diplomas ; and 
Whereas , Such reports tend to cripple the American Veterin¬ 
ary College, by destroying the confidence of the public in the 
legality of its charter and the validity of its diplomas ; therefore, 
be it 
Resolved , That we, the Alumni of the American Veterinary 
College, in concourse assembled, do respectfully petition the 
Trustees of said College to take such steps as they may deem 
proper to arrest the circulation of all falsehoods and misstate¬ 
ments tending to impair our professional standing. 
This measure was warmly supported by the Association, and 
the Secretary was instructed to forward a copy of the preamble 
and resolutions to the Board of Trustees. 
By motion of C. B. Michener, the President was directed to 
appoint two members to read essays at the next regular meeting. 
Drs. Michener and Travers were selected. 
The meeting then adjourned to meet in New York City about 
March 1st, 1879. ’ C. B. Michener,
