also such modifications as may be made in them from time to time
under due authority. Each Officer will be held responsible for exact
performance of the duties of his branch of the College and Hospital
work and for the results of his teaching. The Assistant Principal
will be in executive charge of the Hospital and will be responsible for
the treatment of cases and the clinical instruction of students during
Hospital practice. He will also be in charge of all surgical instru-
ments and appliances. The Lecturer on Anatomy and Physiology
will be in immediate charge of the Dissecting Room and anatomical
portion of the Museum. The Lecturer on Chemistry and Botany

the Head Clerk under the immediate supervision of the Principal, or
the Assistant Principal, in his absence.
44. The Servants of the College, as sanctioned by Government,
shall be mustered monthly in the presence of the Principal and then

and satisfactory performance of their duties. Their work shall be

constantly in attendance daily from 8 A.M. to 6 P.M.. They shall be
under the immediate orders of the Head Clerk to the College, who
shall report any absence without leave or imperfect performance of
duty by them to the Principal or the Assistant Principal. The Hospital
Servants are immediately under the manager of the Hospital, as ap-
pointed by the S. P. C. A., but are always to perform any duties re-
quired in the treatment of cases as directed by the Principal or
the Assistant Principal.
45. All servants and officials of the College and Hospital are under
the control of the Principal for discipline and due performance of their
duties.

punishment as may be considered advisable after due enquiry.

the notice of the Principal. In the case of individuals disturbing

Principal, who shall punish by fine or suspension, or in flagrant
cases be empowered to strike the student's name off the College
Rolls.

and instruction in the class rooms. They will be required to keep
records of cases treated in the Infirmary and of other practical work.

responsible for Hospital work must attend at any hour as required,
and no student will on any pretence whatsoever be exempted from
practical Infirmary work and Dissection.
51. Examinations (oral, written and practical) shall be constantly
carried out in the various classes throughout each Session, they being
a most valuable means of instruction. A record of marks awarded
shall be kept for information of parents, Native States, &c. In the
case of Government scholars these examinations will afford a useful
test as to whether the opportunities supplied to them by Government
are being taken advantage of. The Principal shall bring to the notice
of parents, Native States, &c., the cases of any students who, through
constant laziness, wilful neglect, or natural inaptitude, are not likely
to benefit by further studies.
52. The College Authorities will furnish a monthly report during
the Sessions to each State sending students, as to regularity of
attendance, progress and conduct while on the College premises.
53. Leave of absence on account of sickness or urgent private
affairs will be granted (by the Principal only) to individual students
after careful enquiry into the necessity. In all cases of sick leave a

such students (on graduation) certificates of having performed these
duties to their satisfaction.

most important part of his studies. The strictest discipline, cleanli-
ness and order will at all times be preserved in the Dissecting
Room.
60. The Chemical and Pharmaceutical Laboratories shall be avail-
able for teaching purposes and for research. They shall be under the
immediate control as to order, discipline, &c., of the Lecturer on

tion of Government property (such as appliances and chemicals)

takes place. These Laboratories shall as much as possible be used
in imparting to the students practical experience in Pharmaceutical
and Chemical work.
61. The Botanical Garden will be arranged by the Lecturer
on Botany in such a way as to render it of value to the students
in obtaining practical acquaintance with medicinal, dietetic and
poisonous plants. It shall at all times be open to the students and
the gardener shall as much as possible supply them with plants for
practical study of Botany. The garden shall also be arranged so as
to supply fresh specimens for illustration of lectures.
62. Excursions for classes, limited in size according to the dis-
cretion of the Officer conducting them, may be made not more often
than once a week for practical study of Botany (for Class A),
Zoology (for Class B), and to the Pinjrapole (for Class C). Dur-
ing these excursions the strictest discipline must be preserved, and
the pursuit of knowledge considered the primary object, attendance
13
at them shall be recorded, and a report of work done made monthly
to the Principal for information and record.

purposes and for special shoeing of a surgical nature. It, with the

sible for order and discipline in the Museum.
65. The Bái Sákarbái Dinsha Petit Hospital for Animals is at
the disposal of the College Officers for practical instruction of stu-
dents, and the Trustees of the Bombay Pinjrapole have kindly
permitted classes of senior students to benefit by inspections of the
inmates of their valuable Institution.
66. Clinical Clerks shall be selected from among the senior and
more experienced students, and each in turn placed in charge of
one of the wards of the Hospital to superintend medical treatment,
nursing of the patients and proper record of their cases. Satis-
factory performance of the duties of Clinical Clerk shall be recog-
nized by award of a Certificate on graduation.
67. Every student who is not a Clinical Clerk shall in his turn
perform the duties of Dresser. He will be responsible that all
instructions as to nursing and medical treatment of the animals
under his charge are carried out by himself or under his immediate
care.
68. Hospital Records shall be kept by the Clinical Clerks under
the immediate supervision of the Assistant Principal.
69. The Pharmacy and Drug Store shall be in immediate charge
of the Assistant Principal. Neither students nor attendants shall
have free entry into this part of the Hospital, and the Assistant
Principal shall be responsible for proper preparation of medicines,
and that neither waste nor mistakes in dispensing be made. Phar-
maccutical preparations shall be compounded, under the immediate
supervision of the Lecturer on Chemistry, by the Practical Phar-
macy class on requisition of the Assistant Principal.
70. Post-mortem examinations shall be made in the case of all

14
the measures necessary for protection of the attendants and preven-

the Principal before issue; in all cases where he considers them
opposed to the interests entrusted to him he may stop them from
being published.
73. The Class Rooms and Library of the College shall be avail-
able for students' meetings at the discretion of the Principal. No
students' society bearing the name of the College shall be formed
without his consent.
74. Government does not in any case guarantee employment of
Graduates.
75. There are quarters for only 6 students on the College pre-
mises, but it is hoped that the demand for lodgings in the immediate
neighbourhood will, in a short time, create a supply for the benefit
of the students.
Library and Reading Room.
76. Government has established at the College a Library for
reference and for educational purposes. Endeavours will be made
to supply it as fully as possible with veterinary works and others
bearing on the management of lower animals in health and disease.,
by purchase of new works as published and by adding copies of
other books as occasion offers.
77. The Library will also be supplied with professional periodi-
cals.
78. The books will be under the care of the Librarian who will
issue them at the time announced on the College Notice Board and
will be responsible for order and discipline in the Library.
79. A deposit of Rs. 2 will require to be lodged with the Prin-
cipal by students desirous of availing themselves of the use of books
from the library. The deposit will be returned to them on their
leaving the College.
80. All issues and returns will be entered in a book kept for the
purpose, and the Librarian will bring to the notice of the Principal
weekly all retention of books over the proper time, which will
render the student retaining them liable to a fine of 2 annas per
week or part of a week. The Librarian shall once a quarter examine
all the books to ensure that none have been lost and to ascertain
which need repair.
81. Any defacement of books, removal of illustrations, &c., shall
be answered for by the student having the work in his possession
on loan, and he shall be liable for fine up to the full original price
of the book. In receiving a book, therefore, a student must be
careful to have noted by the Librarian any defects in it at time of
issue.
