Administration Report of the—for the
year 1890-91.
No. 1605.
EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.
Bombay Castle, 7th August 1891.
Letter from the Director of Public Instruction, No. 2349, dated the 20th July 1891—Sub-
mitting a copy of the report of the Bombay Veterinary College for the year 1890-91,
and requesting that the report may be distributed as soon as possible, especially to
the Sanitary authorities and the officers who will advise Government as to the location
of the College.
RESOLUTION.—Although
the Director of Public Instruction will doubtless
include in his annual report some observations on the work of the Bombay
Veterinary College for the past year, the Governor in Council would have been
glad to have received and considered his detailed comments on the report at
this stage. Whilst the institution is feeling its way, it is desirable that its
progress should receive annually a special review at the hands of Government,
and the Director's criticisms will materially assist Government in the task.
2. The number of students continued to decline. At the end of 1888-89
there were 75 on the rolls, and at the end of 1889-90 there were 49; but the
number on 31st March last was only 42. On the other hand the entries in
the year were 15 against 11 in the previous year. The recruits have joined
the College from Lahore and Faizabad in the north, from Mysore in the south,
and from Indore in Central India. Within the Presidency Limbdi and Bhav-
nagar in Káthiáwár, and the Kolhápur State have sent pupils. The Local
Board in Hyderabad (Sind) has contributed one, Poona has sent two, and the
Bombay City supplies five. It is, therefore, clear that the College is needed to
supply a widely felt want. Nor is there much reason to complain of the practical
illustration afforded of this demand by the employment of the graduates
who left the College. 19 graduates left the College, and all who desired it
have found employment. One has gone to Zanzibar, and others have been
taken into the service of the Native States of Junágad, Kolhápur, Sángli,
Gwalior, and Cambay. Government have lately received inquiries from Ceylon
regarding the engagement of a Veterinary Surgeon, and there is abundant
evidence that Veterinary Science can command an extended market. Under
these circumstances it appears to Government premature to guarantee appoint-
ments annually for the graduates as suggested in paragraph 5 of the report.
The open market, the demands of the Native States, and those of Local Boards,
will do more than Government either ought, or can undertake, to do. As was
observed in Government Resolution No. 7933, dated 7th November 1890, the
future prosperity of the College will depend not only on the number of its
graduates who may obtain employment, but also on the success of those gradu-
ates. The efforts of Government must principally be directed to the administra-
tion of the College, and it is clear from the report that much remains to be
done in this direction.
3
7. In reviewing the last report Government expressed their sense of the
energy, devotion and skill with which Mr. Steel had performed his multifarious
duties, and it is with deep regret that the Governor in Council must recognize that
he sacrificed his health for the good of the College. It is, therefore, the impera-
tive duty of Government not to subject his successor or the other officers of
the College to the avoidable risks of an insanitary neighbourhood. If the
efforts of the Municipal authorities and the Hospital Managers are not equal to
the task of removing a nuisance that is a menace to the public health of Parel,
the transfer of the College elsewhere will be necessary. Dr. Nariman has
written an interesting report, and the acknowledgments of Government are due
to him and the rest of the College staff for their successful discharge of their
duties.

Vety.-Capt., A. V. D.; Principal, Bombay Vety. College;
To
K. M. CHATFIELD, ESQUIRE,
Director of Public Instruction, Poona.
SIR,
I have the honour to submit the sixth annual report of the Bombay Veteri-
nary College treating of the work during the official year ending 31st March 1892.
A synopsis of the work done in connection with the Bái Sákarbái Dinshaw Petit
Hospital for the year ending 31st December 1891 is embodied in the report.
Professional examinations.
2. The professional examinations commenced on the 20th April 1891, and
terminated on the 30th of the same month.
The Board consisted of the following gentlemen :—
President.
Inspecting Veterinary Surgeon C. Clayton, A. V. D., Inspecting Veterinary
Surgeon, Bombay Army.
Members.
Veterinary Surgeon, First Class, J. K. Grainger, A. V. D., Superintendent,
Horse-Breeding Operations.
Veterinary Surgeon F. W. Sharp, A. V. D.
Dr. M. G. Deshmukh, M.D., B.Sc., B.A., Assistant Chemical Analyser to
Government.
Dr. S. K. Nariman, M.D., B.Sc., L.V.Sc.
Mr. N. D. Dakmarwala, G.B.V.C.
Secretary.
Veterinary Surgeon, First Class, G. J. R. Rayment, A. V. D.
As the Veterinary Lecturer, College of Science, Poona, was not available,
the Military Department kindly deputed Veterinary Surgeon Sharp to act for
that officer.
The final meeting of the Board and members of the teaching staff took place
on the last day of the examinations, when the results were declared, which will be
found in Appendix A. The prizes were at the same time awarded, vide Ap-
pendix B.
It will be seen from Appendix A that only 22 candidates passed out of the
42 that presented themselves for the examinations, thus reducing the percentage
of successful students from 84 to 57 on comparing the results of the last year
with the year under report. This reduction is mainly due to only 7 out of 18
candidates having satisfied the examiners in the diploma examination. This is
largely to be attributed to the fact that Dr. Nariman was absent on leave from
7th June to 22nd November 1890, and also because the post of Assistant Professor
was not filled up from 6th December 1890 to 15th April 1891, while Dr. Nari-
man was acting as Principal of the College; in fact throughout the previous
collegiate year, the major portion of the duties of the Assistant Professor was
performed by the Principal, in addition to his own work. Besides, the students of

Financial Statement.
22. Appendix H is the financial statement of the college for the year,
which shows that the cost of maintaining the institution
has been, approximately speaking, Rs. 28,095, an
increase of Rs. 6,156 over the previous year, and a decrease of Rs. 597 compared
with the year 1889-90. The increase in this year is chiefly due to payment
having to be made to the Principal and Assistant Professor of arrears of salary
due for the previous year, and also on account of the reappropriation of the
laboratory grant for 1890-91.
Clerical work.
23. The work in connection with the office is increasing, and I find, with
only one clerk, that it absorbs much of my time which
ought to be legitimately devoted to my students. This
is a matter which I have already represented to you, but my proposal to ask
Government for additional clerical assistance did not meet with your approval.
I hope, however, that you will kindly reconsider this matter.
Conclusion.
24. In conclusion, I trust that Government will find that the work of the
college for the year has been of a satisfactory nature,
notwithstanding the insanitary state of the compound
and the restrictions placed upon teaching by the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
JAMES MILLS, Vety.Capt., A. V. D.,
Principal, Bombay Veterinary College.

Principal, Bombay Veterinary College.

Dr. Narimán, Assistant Professor and for some time Acting Principal, in the College Report for
1890 raised a number of points, some of which are included in the foregoing suggestions, while
others not so included, are given below:—
Suggestions and opinions by Dr. Narimán.
19. The proximity of fields outside the College limits
manured with cotton refuse, fish, &c, and used for
growing maize and vegetables is deemed objectionable.
20. It is stated that the soil within the compound has
been formed with dirty earth with a view to cultiva-
tion.
21. The liquid matter from Dissection and Post Mortem
Rooms is said to soak into ground.
22. Hospital privies cleaned only twice a week
23. A manure pit which was found a nuisance has been
closed but contents not removed before closing.
24. Flushing not considered sufficient ...
25. Surface drainage of wards requires improvement...
2G. Drains to be periodically inspected.
27. Subsoil water so high during the monsoon that walls
of College, &c, are kept damp.
28. New ventilators in wards too high above ground...
29. Cattle sheds to be provided with ventilators and
weather frames to be provided where necessary.
30. Whitewashing, painting, &c , should be carried out
periodically, the wards to be whitewashed at least once
in six months.
31. Shallow masonry receptacles to be provided for
collecting stable litter prior to its removal.
32. Makes detailed suggestions in regard to garden ..
Opinion of the Committee.
This cannot be dealt with except by purchasing the land,
and the objection does not appear to be sufficiently
weighty to justify a recommendation to this effect.
The soil has probably been sweetened by time and its
disturbance would be likely to do more harm than
good.
This has been attended to and remedial measures carried
out.
Solid excreta removed daily. Cess-pools emptied twice
a week. More frequent attention desirable.
To reopen the pit would probably do more harm than
good.
Underground drains closed and this objection removed.
The dry earth system if successful will solve this diffi-
culty.
The drains particularly referred to have been removed
or closed, but frequent inspection of all drains desir-
able.
The premises require surface drainage and subsoil
drainage may be necessary.
Some authorities give six inches above floor and it
would have been better if the ventilators had been a
trifle lower and this might be arranged for in regard
to those to be carried out in future.
Should be provided.
Reasonable and necessary.
One receptacle has been provided.
Dealt with under suggestions 4, 9 and 14.
