Report of the Principal of the — for the
year 1895-96.
Educational Department.
Bombay Castle,
No. 1339
15th July 1896.
Letter from the Director of Public Instruction, No. 1475, dated 12th June 1896.
Submitting a copy of the Report of the Bombay Veterinary College for the year
1895-96; and observing that the results of the year appear to be satisfactory.
RESOLUTION.—The number of students in the Veterinary College rose from
58 to 63 during the year under review, and there was a satisfactory improve-
ment in the proportion of those who passed the examinations, which rose from
57 to 72 per cent. Nine students graduated, and all of these appear to have
obtained employment at once, either in this Presidency or elsewhere.
2. The expenditure of the College again increased, rising from Rs. 37,326
to Rs. 40,176; but as pointed out by the Principal, the increase was wholly due
to the erection of a dissecting room at Sewri, and the expenditure was within
the budget provision for the year.
3. The Principal refers to Government Resolution No. 2762, dated the
14th December 1893, and suggests that provision should be made for the
purchase of the photographic apparatus referred to in that Resolution. The
question was settled by Government Resolution No. 190, dated the l8th January
1895, subsequently to which, by Government Resolution No. 1631, dated the
24th August 1895, the Principal was permitted to purchase a camera at the
cost of Rs. 300. If, notwithstanding this purchase, the apparatus formerly
applied for is still considered necessary a separate application may be made to
Government.

No. 349 OF 1897.
FROM
JAMES MILLS, M.R.C.V.S., J.P., Veterinary-Major, A.V.D.,
Fellow and Examiner, Bombay University;
Principal, Bombay Veterinary College;
To
E. GILES, Esq., M.A.,
Director of Public Instruction, Poona.
BOMBAY VETERINARY COLLEGE,
Parel, 28th April 1897.
SIR,
I have the honour to submit the eleventh Annual Report of the Bombay
Veterinary College dealing with its administration during the official year
1896-97. The report includes a brief outline of the duties performed in con-
nection with the Bái Sákarbái Dinshaw Petit Hospital for Animals for the year
ending 31st December 1896.
Professional Examinations.
2. The professional examinations commenced on the 20th April 1896 and
terminated on the 30th April 1896. The Board of
Examiners consisted of the following gentlemen :—
President.
Veterinary-Lieut.-Colonel W. S. Adams, A. V. D., Inspecting Veterinary
Officer, Bombay Army.
Members.
Veterinary-Captain J. W. A. Morgan, A. V. D., Superintendent, Civil
Veterinary Department, Bombay Presidency.
Veterinary-Captain H. T. Pease, F. Z. S., A. V .D., Assistant to the Inspector-
General, C. V. D.
M. G. Deshmukh, Esq., M.D., B.A., B.Sc.
N. D. Dhákmárvála, Esq., G.B.V.C., Acting Assistant Principal, B. V. C.
V. E. Vakhária, Esq., G.B.V.C., Lecturer on Chemistry, B. V. C.
Secretary.
Veterinary-Major J. Mills, A. V. D., Principal, B. V. C.
The final meeting of the Board was held on the 30th April to prepare and
declare the results of the examinations, which will be found in Appendix A
The Board also announced and distributed the prizes, a list of which will be
found in Appendix B.
It will be seen from Appendix A that 32 candidates passed in the three
classes out of the 54 that presented themselves for the examinations. The
percentage of passes is 59.25 this year, as against 72.54 and 57.67 in 1895 and
1894 repectively.
The Government of India suggested that the results of the examinations
of the teaching work of the year under report should be included in the report,
and the present practice of mentioning the results of the examinations held at
the commencement of the year should be discontinued. The change of the date
of the examinations to the month of September, as recommended by me, for
reasons which will be found further on, and sanctioned by Government, will
leave no difficulty in accomplishing this object.
Information relating to
students.
3. On the 1st April 1896 there were. 63 students on the College rolls.
There were 25 fresh entries during the year, as against
21 in each of the years 1895-96 and 1894-95 :—23 in
Class A, and 2 joined in Class B under concession.
One from Class C and 7 from Class A left the College owing to their failures at
B 271—1

I have also continued my two prizes.
Visitors.
13. The following gentlemen visited the College
and Hospital:—
H. E. Lord Sandhurst.
The Honourable Mr. Justice Fulton.
E. Giles, Esq., M.A., Director of Public Instruction.
Veterinary-Colonel A. E. Quripel, Inspector-General, C.V.D.
Professor W. M. Haffkine.
Dr. Gaffkie, Professor of Hygiene, Giekin University.
Professor R. Pfieffer, Chief of the Science Department of the
Institute of Infectious Diseases, Berlin.
Hospital.
14. The records of the hospital give the follow-
ing information relative to patients, &c. :—
(a) In-patients.—2,214 were admitted in 1896, as compared with
1,820 in 1895, showing an increase of 394. The various classes of
animals admitted were as follows:—Horses 639, cattle 1,259 and dogs 316.
The daily average was 177.5, showing an increase of 1.5 over that of the
last year.
(b) Out-patients.—893 were treated during 1896, as compared with
662 in 1895, showing an increase of 231.
(c) Mortality.—The mortality in horses for 1896 was at the rate of
4.85 per cent., in cattle 5.56 per cent., and in dogs 30.06 per cent., as com-
pared with 7 per cent., 4 per cent., and 41 per cent., respectively of the last
year.
(d) Supply of Medicines and Pharmacy Requisites.—The supply of
medicines and pharmacy requisites have been placed on a much more satis-
factory basis, the entire control being under the College authorities and not
under the S. P. C. A. as before. A six months' supply has been indented
for from the Government Medical Stores. This arrangement came into
force from the 1st January 1896 as a tentative measure, and, should it
succeed, will be continued.
(e) Management.—The Manager, Mr. J. B. Daver, and his Assistants
have carried out their duties, so far as my department is concerned, to my
satisfaction.
Buildings.
15. The sum of Rs. 995-11-4 was spent on buildings and repairs during
the year. Two bath-rooms were provided on the north-
east side of the Patho-Bacteriological Laboratory for
the Principal and Assistant Principal.
Financial Statement.
16. Appendix F is the financial statement for the year under report. It
will be seen from it that the total expenditure incurred
on account of the College during the year was
Rs. 36,050 as against Rs. 40,176 and Rs. 37,326 in. the years 1895-96 and 1894-95,
respectively, showing a saving of Rs. 4,360 on the total budget provision for the
year. This was chiefly effected under the headings of house-rent allowance,
buildings and repairs, riding class, excursion charges, and to the payment of
leave allowance to Veterinary-Lieutenant Baldrey. During the year Govern-
ment sanctioned a house-rent allowance of Rs. 30 per mensem to the Assistant
Principal and a conveyance allowance of Rs. 15 to the Lecturer on Anatomy.
College Calendar.
17. The College Calendar and Syllabus has been
revised and reprinted.
Office.
18. The clerical staff have given every satisfac-
tion in the performance of their duties.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,

JAS. MILLS, Veterinary-Major, A.V.D.,
28th April 1897.
Principal, Bombay Veterinary College.
Administration Reports.—
Bombay Veterinary College.
Report of the Principal of the — for
the year 1896-97.
Educational Department.
Bombay Castle,
No. 1300
30th August 1897.
Letter from the Director of Public Instruction, No. 1325, dated the 5th June 1897.
"I have the honour to submit a copy of the report of the Bombay Veterinary College
for 1896-97 and to state as follows.
"2. The numbers in the College have increased from 63 to 69, 25 students having
joined during the year while 17 left and two died of plague.
"3. The institution appears to be increasing in efficiency and its sphere of influence
is extending. Graduates have obtained employment at Mozambique and Ceylon, and there
is a demand from British East Africa. It is also noticeable that one of the graduates of this
year has gone into private practice, while two of last year's men are in private practice at
Meerut and are, apparently, successful. On the other hand, the District Local Boards do
not appear to take advantage of the College to a large extent, and the Shikárpur Board has
abolished its travelling dispensary.
"4.
The extra duties of the Principal have this year been unusually heavy. The
plague has interfered with the work of the College, and excursions and the Riding School
were discontinued on that account. The plague also threw much extra work upon the
Principal and Veterinary-Lieutenant Baldrey.
"5. The administration of the College appears to have been zealous and efficient. The
Principal especially notices the good work of Veterinary-Lieutenant Baldrey, and expresses
his satisfaction with the staff generally."
RESOLUTION.—Government concur with the Director of Public Instruction
and have nothing to add to his review of this report.

Secretary to Government.
