Annual Report of the Bengal Veterinary College, 1930-31.
Preface and General Administration.
Charge.—I held charge of the office of the Principal, Bengal
Veterinary College, the Raymond Research Laboratory, and was
Controlling Officer of the Department of Epizootic Diseases of Animals
in Calcutta and its suburbs throughout the year.
2. Khan Sahib S. S. Ahmed remained in charge of the duties of
Vice-Principal from 1st April 1930 to 27th March 1931 when he took
over charge of the office of the Director, Civil Veterinary Department,
Bengal. No officer was appointed to fill his place as Vice-Principal of
the College.
Veterinary Instruction.
3. Students.—During the last few years a great demand has been
made for admission into the College from most of the provinces in India
including the larger Feudatory States and also from Iraq, etc.
4. At the beginning of the session, i.e., July 1930, 167 students
were on the rolls in the three classes; 141 prolonged their studies
throughout the session (against 163 of last year), 26 having left or
having been removed for various reasons. Eighty-one were admitted
into Class A as freshmen, but only 58 continued their studies up to
the end of the session. These entrants came from various countries and
provinces. The Government of Bihar and Orissa have withdrawn all
their students from this College during the current year, in consequence
of the opening of a Veterinary College of their own in July 1930. This
factor did not affect the number of admissions to this College, as can
he seen from above figures. The number of Bengal and other students
is given below : —

8. The examinations began on 16th March 1931 and terminated on
26th idem. The Board of Examiners consisted of—
President.
(1) Mr. P. J. Kerr.
Members.
(2) Major P. B. Riley.
(3) Mr. R. T. Davis.
(4) Vice-Principal.
(5) Principal.
9. The Board's remarks were—
"The results of the examination are very satisfactory."
10. The Board wish to make the following suggestions for future
examinations: —
(a) That the system of taking note of the aggregate marks be
abolished.
(6) That the percentage of marks required for pass should be
uniform in each subject and suggest 45 per cent.
(c) That it would be a great advantage if a written examination
be instituted in the final year, to begin with.
The above suggestions are under the consideration of Government.
11. Prizes.—The diplomas, prizes and certificates were distributed
to the deserving students of the College by the Hon'ble Khan Bahadur
Maulvi K. G. M. Faroqui, Minister, Government of Bengal (in charge
of Agriculture and Industries), on 2nd April 1931, in the presence of
a distinguished gathering.
12. Stipends.—Amongst the 141 students remaining at the end of
the session, 64 held stipends and 77 were private students. The district
boards in Bengal awarded 12 stipends only during the year under
report.
13. I would again invite the attention of the Hon'ble Minister
to the suggestion of initiating a greater number of veterinary
dispensaries in the districts and of awarding stipends to deserving
37
youths of such districts to enable them to prosecute their studies at
this College and for subsequent employment at the new dispensaries
when qualified. This year I have issued a circular in the form of an
appeal to the Chairmen of all district and local boards in Bengal,
inviting their special attention to this matter specifically. A copy of
this circular is enclosed (Annexure I).
14. Additional Courses.—The lecturers, in addition to their ordi-
nary duties, delivered the following lectures: —
(1) Vocational Course.—One soldier from Fort William, Calcutta,
attended this course during the session.
(2) Sanitary Inspectors'
Training Class.—Two courses were held
during the year and lectures and demonstrations on infectious diseases
of animals were given to such students.
(3) Riding Class.—The usual Riding Classes were held during the
year and all students went through a course of equitation. They were
examined at the end of the session and prizes to the number of six were
awarded.
15. Museum.—(Curator in charge.)
16. During the session, the Museum was greatly improved by the
addition of fresh pathological, parasitological, stuffed specimens, morbid
materials, skeletons, models and charts.
17. Many professional charts were executed by the artist and in
addition several preserved specimens were collected through the special
efforts of the College Manager—

18. Various specimens, models and charts were constantly in use
in the classes throughout the year. It may also be mentioned here
that some pathological and parasitological specimens were demonstrated
to the sanitary students sent by the Department of Public Health.
Also some interesting and important specimens were exhibited by the
Curator in the local Health Exhibition as in previous years.
19. Library.—(Librarian in charge.)
20. The library, which is also used as a lecturers' waiting room, is
fairly up-to date with scientific books, newspapers and periodicals, both
Indian and foreign, which are regularly issued into circulation and
received back by the Librarian. Many new books were added this year
which will be of immense value to the students and the staff.
21. Text-books and instruments supplied by the various district
boards in Bengal, other provincial Governments, as well as Native
States, were kept in our custody by the Librarian for the use of their
respective wards when required.
