Anatomy.—One professor, with demonstrators at the rate of one per 20 students.
Histology.—One demonstrator (to work under the professor of physiology or the professor of
anatomy one of whom will lecture upon this subject).
Physiology.—One professor, with one demonstrator.
Pharmacology.—One lecturer, who would also be the professor of therapeutics in the final
part of the curriculum.
One of the professors should be appointed Sub-Director of the course of study in Intermediate
Veterinary Science, to control and co-ordinate the teaching of this year.
III.—Final Veterinary Course.
PART I.—STATE VETERINARY MEDICINE.
(a) Elementary Pathology.—One professor and one demonstrator.
(b) Parasitology.—Two lecturers and two demonstrators (the two lecturers should com-
prise one bacteriologist, to teach bacteriology, mycology and study of the filtrable
viruses, and one helminthologist, to teach protozoology, helminthology and
entomology).
(c), (d) and (e) General hygiene, principles of breeding and meat and milk hygiene.—One

(a) Surgery.—One professor, one lecturer, and clinical assistants at the rate of at least
one for 20 students.
(b) Semiology.—One professor and one demonstrator.
(c) Therapeutics.—One professor (to be also the lecturer in pharmacology) and one clinical
assistant.
(d) Obstetrics.—To be taken by the lecturer in Surgery.
The Professor of Surgery should be appointed Sub-Director of this group, to control and co-

The Principal of the College should administer the institution and direct and co-ordinate
the system of instruction given thereat.
The staff of each College would thus comprise one Principal, 8 Professors (in Anatomy, Phy-
siology, Pathology, Hygiene, Preventive Medicine, Surgery, Semiology, and Therapeutics)
and 8 lecturers (in Biology, Chemistry, Elementary Physics, Bacteriology, Helminthology,
Genetics, Preventive Medicine and Surgery). The number of lecturers would be reduced to 5
when the teaching of Biology, Chemistry and Elementary Physics is undertaken extramurally
at the University.
Equipment of the Veterinary Colleges.
It will be necessary to provide adequate accommodation at the Colleges and furnish sufficient
other material equipment for carrying out the instruction proposed in the above curriculum.
Pay of the Staffs.
The Meeting considered that it will be in the interest of Government, in order to obtain
and retain the services of men with the necessary qualifications, to provide extra allowances-
for men engaged on the Teaching Staffs of the Colleges. In addition the Principal or Director
of the College, and the Sub-Directors of the groups of subjects, should be given special
allowances for the extra responsibilities attached to their posts.
