ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MADRAS VETERINARY COLLEGE
FOR THE YEAR 1915-16.
Administration.—Mr. Aitchison has held the appointment of Principal through-
out the year and Mr. G. T. D'Silva that of Assistant Principal. Various
changes happened amongst the remainder of the teaching staff, too many just to be
in the interest of the best working of the college. The Civil Veterinary Department
required an officer as Deputy Superintendent and the Agricultural College wanted
one to succeed their Veterinary Assistant Mr. S. L. D'Silva who was retiring from
Government service. The most suitable men for these appointments were to be found

The selection of candidates for admission into class A for the year 1916 was
made by the Principal on the 4th January. Applications had been received from 99
fully qualified men, of whom 58 presented themselves for selection. Of these, 46
were temporarily selected, being the full complement of 30+16 provisional men, and
they included 1 graduate, 1 F.A., 1 Matric, 1 Cambridge Senior and it School
Finals.
Twelve of the provisionally selected men, the one graduate and the F.A. did not
attend after selection. The Government Order raising the number of admittances
from 30 to 40 was not received until the 27th January 1916 and could not therefore
be given full effect to, this year. There were 11 students who had failed in their
first professional examination in December 1915 of whom, two having failed only in
one minor subject in which they passed at a supplemental examination were allowed
to join class B and one was permitted to resign. Therefore, the class at the end of
March 1916, consisted of 32 new men and 8 failed students.
3. Professional examinations.—The annual examinations were conducted from the
14th to 22nd December 1915, both days inclusive. The Board of Examiners were
constituted as follows :—
Major G. K. Walker, C.I.E., F.R.C.V.S., Superintendent, Civil
Veterinary Department, Bombay.
Mr. M. H. Sowerby, M.R.C.V.S., Assistant Principal, Bombay

The Board of Examiners expressed themselves in their report in the following
terms:
" The results, though not unsatisfactory, are not as good as usual which may
be accounted for by the number of changes in the teaching staff during the year and
the increased number of students in class A."

During the year 424 specimens (276 bacteriological and 148 pathological)
were examined and reported on. These specimens were supplied to the college as
follows:—

9. Breeding.—The breeding bull "Tippu" did not recover normal condition after
a severe attack of Foot-and-Mouth disease and died on 29th May 1915.
10. Attendance and discipline of students.—Good.
11. Hostel.—There is accommodation for 43 students only. As practically every
student applies for hostel accommodation, and as whether he is supplied with it
sometimes decides if he will attend college or not, another hostel with accommodation
for 80 students should be erected.
12. Office.—The office work has gone on satisfactorily.
13. General—St. John Ambulance and First Aid examination.— Dr. Phillipsz very
kindly formed a class for the above work and sent in 20 students for examination, of
whom 16 passed.
Five teams of students from the college entered for the competition held by the
St. John Ambulance Association and succeeded in winning the second and third
prizes.
The Principal wishes to record his appreciation of the bacteriological work
conducted by Mr. Krishnamurti under difficult circumstances and in addition to his
ordinary work.

Principal.
MADRAS VETERINARY COLLEGE,
5th July 1916.
Resolution—No. 210, dated 28th July 1916.
The Board begs to submit to Government the reports of the Superintendent, Civil
Veterinary Department, and the Principal, Madras Veterinary College, on the work of
the executive and the educational branches respectively of the Civil Veterinary
Department for the year 1915-16.
2. Mr. Aitchison remained in charge of the college throughout the year.
Mr. Ware held the office of the Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, through
out the year with the exception of a period of six weeks from 1st December 1915
when he was on privilege leave. During his absence Mr. Aitchison was in charge of
the Superintendent's duties in addition to his own. Touring and inspection by the
uperintendent as well as by the Deputy Superintendents were satisfactory.

2. During the period under review, new veterinary hospitals were opened at
Erode, Amalapur, Nellore, Hindupur and Salem and new dispensaries at Nandyal,
Negapatam and Bhadrächalam. The President of the South Canara District Board
reported last December that the veterinary hospital at Mangalore was almost complete,
but the administration report contains no reference to this institution. It is hoped that
this hospital and the dispensaries at Madanapalle and Ootacamund will be opened
soon. The site originally acquired for the construction of a permanent hospital at
Tinnevelly having been found to be unsuitable, proposals have been called for in
regard to the selection and acquisition of another site.
3. The mortality from diseases among cattle during the period under review was
less than that in the preceding year, but rinderpest continued to cause a very large
number of deaths. This disease was as usual most prevalent in Gōdāvari, Nellore,
Guntūr, Cuddapah, Bellary, Kurnool and Kistna and there is little doubt that its
appearance in the frontier districts of the Presidency is due to the entry of cattle
from the Native States of Mysore and Hyderabad. The Government have now decided
to increase the veterinary staff and the number of veterinary institutions in frontier
districts and the Darbars of the States mentioned above have undertaken to co-operate
with the officers of this Presidency in their efforts to prevent the spread of rinderpest.
A reference has been made lately to the Government of India regarding the possibility
of securing further expert advice as to the best method of combating the disease by
means of protective inoculation.
4. In order to hasten the provision of an adequate veterinary staff in this
Presidency the number of annual admissions to the Madras Veterinary College which
was increased last year from 20 to 30 has now been raised for the next five years from
30 to 40 and the number of scholarships on Rs. 10 per mensem has been advanced
25
from 28 to 38. In consequence, the staff of the college has been strengthened by
the addition of two assistant lecturers. The results of the working of the college
continue to be thoroughly satisfactory.
5. It is hoped that the experiment which is about to be tried of re-establishing
at Tuticorin the quarantine depôt for cattle going to Ceylon will enable this arrange-
ment, which is strongly advocated by those engaged in the export trade, to be made
permanent.
6. The Government await the Board's proposals for increasing the cadre of
veterinary inspectors and assistants, for providing increased hostel accommodation
in the veterinary college and for securing an adequate number of Telugu students in
the college.
7. Orders will issue in the Local and Municipal Department on the subject of (1)
utilizing the services of veterinary assistants in municipalities for meat inspection at
slaughter-houses, and (2) reserving power in leases or licences for holding weekly
cattle fairs to close such fairs temporarily, whenever necessary.
8. The Government desire to express their appreciation of the good work
done by Messrs. Aitchison and Ware and the officers of the department under their
control during the year under review.
