charge of the office of the Principal, Bengal Veterinary College and
the Raymond Research Laboratory, and was the Controlling Officer of
the Department of Epizootic Diseases of Animals in Calcutta and

to the Government of Bengal in addition to his own duties throughout
the year during the absence on leave in England of Mr. P. J. Kerr,
M.R.C.V.S., I.V.S., and during his subsequent appointment as Animal
Husbandry Commissioner to the Imperial Council of Agricultural
Research, Government of India. He was, therefore, the administrative
head of the Civil Veterinary Department, Bengal, and the Bengal
Veterinary College throughout the year. The Veterinary administra-
tion of His Excellency the Governor of Bengal's Body Guard was also
under his control. Captain J. M. Lahiri, M.R.C.V.S., Vice-Principal,

Research Institute at Muktesar for undergoing the Post-graduate
Refresher course from 4th April to 2nd July 1938, and after his return

subsequently appointed to act as Deputy Director till the end of the

Veterinary Instruction.
2. Students.—As will be seen from the figures below, during the
last few years an increasing demand has been made for admission into
this College from the various provinces in India, especially from the
United Provinces, the Punjab, Assam and Burma and also from out-
side India, e.g., Ceylon, Federated Malay States and Iraq, but owing
to the gradually increasing number of Bengalis required for this pro-
vince and the limited accommodation in the hostels and classes, more
admissions are now being granted to Bengalis to the exclusion of
foreign students.
3. At the beginning of the session, i.e., in July 1938, 210
students were on the rolls of the College, of whom 204 prolonged their
44
studies throughout the session (against 207 in the preceding year);
6 left for financial difficulties or other reasons; 68 were in class A,
67 in class B, and 69 in class C; 67 fresh students were admitted
in class A during the session, of whom 17 were Bengali Muslims, 33
Bengali Hindus, 1 Bengali Scheduled Caste and 16 non-Bengalis;
35 plucked students were readmitted in all three classes.

Museum and Library.
Babu Nani Gopal Mukherjee, G.B.V.C, was in charge of these two
sections during the year.
12. Museum.—During the session a good number of interesting
specimens, pathological and parasitological, also models were added
to our collection as in previous years and several stuffed subjects,
skeletons, models and charts were prepared and set up for demonstra-
tion by our staff.
13. Several important and interesting charts, models, specimens,
etc., were exhibited in District Industrial and Agricultural Exhibitions
and
Fairs
and
also
during
the
Calcutta
Health
Week
and in the "Gopastami" exhibition at Sodepur Pinjrapole. Lectures
were given to the public regarding care, management and treatment of
cattle and other animals, on the diseases communicable from animals to
human being and how to prevent them; also leaflets and pamphlets
were distributed in this connection. The Curator of the College was
deputed to the "Calcutta Health Week" which was held at the Indian
Museum as in previous years. He also took part in the training at
the "Dressers and Farriers courses".
14. Library.—The Library is being annually augmented, if slowly,
with up-to-date British, Indian and foreign books and periodicals. The
various text-books and instruments of District Board students and of
other Government stipendiaries as well as of Native States, were kept
in the Library and regularly issued, when required, and collected again
from the students^ by the Librarian on termination of the annual or
diploma examinations.
Anatomical Museum.
15. Several additions to the existing number of wet and dry
specimens were made to assist the students in the study of the subjects
concerned. Some of the old skeletons were remounted.
Bio-Chemistry Section.
16. Classes, both theoretical and practical in the above subject,
were held throughout the year in the Bio-Chemistry Laboratory.
Histology Section.
17. Classes were held during the year in the Bio-Chemistry
Laboratory as in previous years. Histological charts were explained
and slides demonstrated to the students through the help of the micros-
cope, every facility being afforded to the students to make themselves
familiar with both the technique of preparations, etc., of various
histological sections.
48
Physiological Section.
18. Classes were held as usual during the year. Charts and
diagrams were prepared and demonstrated to make the students
thoroughly conversant in the above subject, particular stress being laid
on those aspects of applied physiological processes pertinent to the
course.
Anatomy Section.
19. In the Senior Anatomy classes, bodies were preserved for
dissection and demonstration purposes as in previous years.
For the Junior Anatomy classes held during the year new sets of
bones and skeletons were prepared and demonstrated to the students
as in previous years. Bones were also prepared and distributed
freely; this practice is of considerable value.
Milk Laboratory.
20. The laboratory which is equipped with up-to-date instru-
ments and appliances was as usual utilised by the senior students in
gaining practical lessons and demonstrations in the technique of
examination of milk and milk products. This section constitutes an
important addition to our Final Year's Course in Animal Husbandry
and although in its infancy still should form eventually the basis of
the extra year's course of training contemplated in Animal Husbandry
for inauguration of the "Bengal Dairy Diploma" Course.
21. A scheme for starting a well-equipped dairy on modern lines
with a herd of 20 cows together with machinery and appliances for
urban milk supply, is also under the consideration of Government.
With its sanction, the long-felt want of practical demonstration will he
solved.
Hostels.
22. The Manager was in charge of the hostels. Two hundred and
four boarders were resident in Sir Andrew Fraser and Macpherson
hostels of this College.
23. Fourteen messes were opened according to nationality and
desire of the boarders. The rooms were replenished as necessity arose
with necessary furniture, etc.
24. The general conduct and behaviour of the students were
satisfactory.
25. The general health of the students throughout the year was
good on the whole, there being no epidemics or serious illness of any
kind. All sick students were properly attended to and given necessary
medical aid by the College Medical Officer who was regular in his
attendance. Serious cases, when they do occur, requiring close nursing,
are admitted to the local hospital as also are those of a contagious
nature.
