Annual Report of the Bengal Veterinary College, 1928-29.
Preface and General Administration.
Charge.—Mr. A. D. MacGregor, F.R.C.V.S., I.V.S., held charge of
the office of the Principal, Bengal Veterinary College, the Raymond
Research Laboratory and of the Controlling Officer of the Department
of the Epizootic Diseases of Animals in Calcutta and its suburbs
throughout the year.
2. Mr. MacGregor having proceeded on leave in the United
Kingdom from 17th April 1929, the task of submitting this report has
fallen on me.
3. I held charge of the Vice-Principalship of the College from 23rd
October 1928 till end of the year. During the period from 1st April
1928 to 22nd October 192S, Mr. S. S. Ahmed was appointed to perform
my duties.
4. The Assistant Principalship was held by Rai Sahib Debakar De
from the beginning of the year till 15th October 1928 when he pro-
ceeded on leave on medical certificate for 8 months preparatory to
retirement from the service. No officer was appointed to officiate in
his place during the year under report.
Veterinary Instruction.
5. Students.—There were great demands for admission into the
College from each province in and outside India including Feudatory
States. As many as 340 applications for admission were received
during the year.
6. At the beginning of the session, i.e., July 1928, 184 students
were on the rolls in the three classes; 168 prolonged their studies
throughout the session (against 144 of last year), 16 having left or
removed for various reasons.
Eighty-seven students were admitted
in Class A as freshmen. They came from various countries and pro-
vinces. The number of new entrants from Bengal is on the increase
as shown below: —

Of these, 115 were Hindus, 42 Muhammadans, 8 Christians and 3
Buddhists.
8. Among these students, 2 were graduates (S. C. Roy—Class B
and S. K. Bhadury—Class A), 2 I.Sc. and 132 Matriculates. It is a
gratifying feature of recent years that graduates and men with higher
educational qualifications are coming for admission.
9. Class A—This class consisted of 72 students; 67 new students
and 5 failed students of last year. Seventy-one went up for the
examination, 40 passed, making a percentage of 78.
10. Class B—This class consisted of 51 students; 47 promoted from
Class A and 4 failed students of last year. All went up for the exami-
nation, 40 passed, making a percentage of 78.
11. Class C—This class consisted of 45 students; 35 promoted from
Class B and 10 failed students of last year. Forty-four sat for the
Diploma Examination, one was unable to appear owing to illness. 22
passed, making a percentage of 50.
12. Examinations.—The examinations began on 18th March 1929
and terminated on 27th idem. The Board of Examiners consisted
of: —
President.
(1) Mr. W. Harris, M.R.C.V.S., I.V.S., Superintendent, Civil
Veterinary Department, Assam.
Members.
(2) Mr. P. J. Kerr, M.R.C.V.S., I.V.S. Director, Civil Veterinary
Department, Bengal.
(3) Major P. B. Riley, M.R.C.V.S., I.V.S., Director, Civil Veterin-
ary Department, Bihar & Orissa, Patna.
(4) Mr. R. T. Davis, M.R.C.V.S., I.V.S., Vice-Principal, Bengal
Veterinary College.
(5) Mr. S. S. Ahmed, Lecturer, Bengal Veterinary College.
(6) Mr. A. D. MacGregor, Principal, Bengal Veterinary College.
13. Owing to the large number of students in the three classes, 6
examiners had to be appointed instead of 5.
14. The Board's remarks were as follows: —
" The results are considered highly satisfactory in classes A and
B. In class C the Board is of the opinion that more attention should
be paid to clinical and practical work, particularly in the Bovine
section. The subject of Operative Surgery has been particularly well
taught and the previous high standard has been well maintained."
15. I would mention that this particular subject (Operative
Surgery) was taught by Mr. S. N. Sinha (Hospital Surgeon) in addition
to his own duties under the direction of the Principal. He has amply
justified the selection.

16. Stipends.—Out of 168 students remaining at the end of the
session, 101 held stipends from various sources as detailed below and
67 were private students.

17. The award of District Board stipends in Bengal compares very
unfavourably with those of other Provinces. The Boards are frequent-
ly requested to consider this matter seriously and to increase their
number of stipends tenable at this college and to employ such men
when qualified.
18. Hostels.—Altogether 164 students lived in the two hostels; 38
in Macpherson hostel and 126 in Fraser hostel. Eight messes—(1) one
for Iraq students, (2) one for Bihar and Orissa Hindu students,
(3) one for Madras students, (4) one for Christian students, (5) and
(6) two for Bengal Hindu students, (7) one for Bihar and Orissa
Muhammadan students and (8) one for Bengal Muhammadan students,
were opened. These messes on the whole worked satisfactorily. The
conduct and behaviour of the students were satisfactory. The general
health of the students was good.
The Medical Officer attended
regularly. The Manager attended to the minor complaints of the
students at any time. There were no outbreaks of contagious diseases
amongst the students in the hostels. The land and buildings were
kept absolutely neat and clean. Babu Benode B. Banerjee, the
Manager, held charge of the two hostels.
19. Riding Class.—All students went through a course of equita-
tion. A riding competition was held at the end of the session in which
6 students (2 from each class) won prizes. Six new riding horses were
purchased to replace old ones.
44
20. Botanical Garden.—The garden contains many medicinal and
poisonous plants and is under further expansion. The usefulness of
country drugs is explained to the students. Specimens of plants were
supplied for the demonstration train propaganda work. The garden
is properly maintained by the college manager.
21. Other Training.—(a) Farriers and Dressers Classes.— The
following men came from Provinces noted against them to attend this
course for 4 months : —
Burma
United Provinces
... 20
...
4
A sum of Rs. 840 was realised as fees.
(6) Vocational Course for Military
Non-commissioned
Officer.—
Fort William, Calcutta—2.
(c) Sanitary
Inspector's
Training Class.—Two courses were held
during the year and lectures and demonstration on infectious diseases
of animals were given to such students.
22. Sports.—The Sports Club was re-organised during the year
and the following was the personnel of the club: —
President, Principal : Vice-President, Vice-Principal : and Secre-
tary, Manager of the College.
23. Rupees 362 were raised by subscription from the students and
sanction of Government to the payment of a contribution of an equi-
valent sum was obtained. Football, cricket, tennis, hockey, boxing,
etc., were indulged in by the various teams of the college. They were
also given training in drill and other physical exercises by the College
Gymnasium Instructor. Further improvements in this section are
being made.
24. Gifts to the College.—Three horses were kindly presented to
the College for light duty by our clients in Calcutta during the year.
The thanks of the college are due to them.
25. Museum.—The Museum was enriched with new pathological
specimens, models and charts. They were in frequent use by the
department in different exhibitions and the demonstration train.
26. The Director of the Indian Museum paid a visit to the museum
paying special attention to the collection of cattle teeth.
27. Teachers of Primary Schools visited it with their students and
most of the animal specimens were demonstrated to them with special
reference to the animal diseases communicable to men.
28. Charts, models, etc., were also exhibited in the Ward XXX
Health Exhibition as in previous years.
29. A commencement has been made in the collection of ento-
mological specimens for the benefit of the students.
30. Maulvi Md. Jamshed Uddin is in charge of the Library and
Museum.
45
31. Library.—The library is maintained with up-to-date books
and periodicals, both Indian and Foreign. Valuable additions are
made every year.
32. Anatomy Department.—Several excellent dry and moist ana-
tomical specimens were prepared and skeletons mounted by the
Assistant Lecturer, Mr. S. C. Mukherjee.
33. For the proper teaching of Anatomy, a much larger collec-
tion of such specimens is an absolute necessity, but their preparation
and exhibition are greatly hampered for want of a suitable Anatomi-
cal Museum with a Demonstration Hall attached, and the construction
of such a building should be taken in hand without delay. The plan
and estimate are under preparation by the Public Works Department
Treatment of diseases.
34. During the year under report, 2,674 patients and 291 opera-
tions were performed against 2,561 patients and 469 operations of last
year.
35. Out of 15,595 prosecutions under the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals Act during the year under consideration in the Calcutta
Police Courts, 209 animals only were sent to the College Infirmary
for rest and treatment by the trying Magistrates. The establishment
of a second Infirmary under the Act at Bowbazar for short detention
cases may explain the decrease of cruelty cases sent here in comparison
with the previous year's figure, viz., 222.
36. The fees for treatment, etc., were Rs. 23,162-1-1 and the cost
of feeding was Rs. 25,784 against Rs. 24,451-12-9 and Rs. 24,391-4-3
of last year, respectively. The latter figures included the free treat-
ment and upkeep of the riding ponies, ambulance horses and breeding
and draught cattle belonging to the College and of free treatment
of patients of poor people.
37. The Dog-Run has been as healthful to the patients as attrac-
tive to the dog owners. The Operation Theatre has been improved by
addition of an up-to-date operation table and other appliances.
38. Ambulances.—The College ambulances were in frequent
demand by the public in Calcutta and calls were immediately attended
to. Rupees 550 were realised on account of their services against
Rs. 410 of last year. The Government has been pleased to sanction
the purchase of a motor ambulance for the urgent relief and quick
carrying of the sick and injured animals to this hospital.
Agricultural and Horticultural section.
39. Babu Binoda B. Banerjee was in charge of this section in addi-
tion to his other duties. He continued to grow various fodder crops.
The hospital patients were fed on the green fodder crops and the sur-
plus was sold to the owners of animals in Calcutta. These crops gave-
a continuous supply of green fodder to all patients and Government
animals, practically, throughout the whole year and helped consider-
ably towards the reduction of feeding cost of patients and Government
animals as well as increasing revenue of the College from their sale.
46
40. Propaganda work.—Samples of the various kinds of fodder
crops have been sent as exhibits to fairs, exhibitions and shows through-
out Bengal with necessary instructions as to how animals can be fed
with green fodder and the ways and means of their cultivation. In-
structions were also given to all cattle owners whenever they were
asked for. Samples were also sent for the Demonstration Train pro-
paganda work.
41. Demonstration.—The work of practical cultivation was also
demonstrated to the students of the College and the value of growing
fodder crops explained to them.
42. Experiments.—Belgium carrots and turnips were grown in the
College compound.
Some mixture of fodder crops was also intro-
duced which was issued to the hospital and College animals and to
outsiders who purchased it eagerly.
43. General remarks.—Although the cultivation work is progress
ing rapidly, still much inconvenience is experienced on account of
the low land, improper drainage and water-supply.
If an efficient
water-supply was constructed within the compound, there will be every
possibility of continuous supply of different varieties of fodder crops
and it will further reduce the cost of feeding as well as being a source
of further revenue. Besides the ordinary routine work some improve-
ment was also made on the cultivation lands during the year.
44. Horticulture.—All plants and tress in the compound have
been kept in proper order. Necessary botanical specimens for the class
were supplied from this section.
