Miscellaneous.
Order—No. 2486, Revenue, dated 19th August 1912.
Recorded.
2. The results of the examination
held in January 1912 are noted with satis-
faction. The Government hope that the noticeable improvement in the standard
of educational qulifications of the candidates admitted to the college will be
maintained. The Board attributes the improvement to the increased number of
scholarships sanctioned in November last, but the Government trust that it is also
attributable to a growing interest in the work of the department and to a recognition
of the capabilities it affords for a career of great usefulness to the agricultural popula-
tion.
3. Another satisfactory feature in the report is the large decrease in the
number of deaths from rinderpest. As the staff of itinerating assistants is gradually
increased, it is to be hoped that their assistance will be more readily sought and that
still further improvement will be effected in the reporting of outbreak of contagious
disease.
4. Notwithstanding the fact that no new veterinary hospitals were opened
during the year, the work of the Department both in the college and in the
districts shows a satisfactory advance in many directions on that of the previous
year.

Letter—from D. A. D. AITCHISON, Esq., M.R.C.V.S., I.C.V.D., Principal, Madras
Veterinary College.
To—the Secretary to the Commissioner of Revenue Settlement, Survey, Land
Records and Agriculture.
Dated—the 7th July 1913.

I have the honour to submit herewith the annual report of the Madras Veteri
nary College for the official year 1912-13.
ENCLOSURE.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL, MADRAS VETERINARY
COLLEGE.
Administration.—The Principalship of the College continued to be in charge
of Mr. Aitchison throughout the year. Mr. J. E. Valladares, first lecturer, returned
from study leave and furlough, and reported for duty on the 1st April 1912. The
acting first and second lecturers, Mr. H. C. Sampath Aiyangar and Mr. S. Sankara-
murthi Pillay, reverted on the same date to their permanent appointments of second
and third lecturers, respectively. Mr. V. Krishnamurthi who had acted as third
lecturer also reverted to the position of House Surgeon, while the acting House
Surgeon, Mr. M. Sundranathan, returned to employment in the Civil Veterinary
Department.
2. Selection of students.—This year a large number of matriculates and men
with satisfactory school final certificates applied for admission to the college, and
for the first time the Principal was able to get a full complement of passed students
for class A.
The new class was formed in January 1912, and consisted of 14 matriculates,
8 school finals, 1 unpassed man and 2 old students, making a total of 25. Out of
this number, however, 3 men represented that they were compelled to give up their
studies through ill-health, one was asked to resign because he would not sign the
necessary agreement, and one student failed to attend from the beginning. The
class was thus reduced to 20, the sanctioned number, during the year.

The selection of the students for the year 1913-14 was made on the 3rd
January 1913. It is gratifying to report that the number of passed applicants was
even greater than in the year 1912, and included two graduates.
The following were selected from which the new class was formed—

3. Professional examinations.—The annual professional examinations were con-
ducted from the 9th to the 14th of December 1912, both days inclusive.
The Board of Examiners was constituted as follows:—
President—Major W.O . Dawson, I.C.V.D., Superintendent, Civil Veterinary
Department, Central Provinces.
Members—Mr. K. Hewlett, I.C.V.D., Principal, Bombay Veterinary College.
Mr. F. Ware, I.C.V.D., Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Madras.
The results of the examination are shown in the following table :—

On the whole, the percentage of passes must be considered very high and pro-
bably far too high to set as a standard anything short of which would be considered
unsatisfactory.
A comparison of the percentage of passes for the last three years is given :—

Of the three students who failed in class A, two of them failed in one subject
only and were re-examined in that subject by the Superintendent, Civil Veterinary
Department, Madras, on 28th March .1913. The two students who tailed in
class B each failed in one subject and they also were re-examiued on the same date.
All the four students passed in the supplemental examination, and they were
confirmed in their higher classes. In their report the Board of Examiners considered
the results to be highly satisfactory and thought that great credit was due to the
Principal and his staff.
4. Employment of graduates.—Fourteen graduates gained their diploma : twelve of
them were entertained in the Civil Veterinary Department, Madras, and two have
entered private practice on their own account.
5. Work of the hospital.—The hospital work has given ample opportunities for
clinical instruction. There has been an increase during the year of in-patients in
hospital and also of out-patients attending hospital. The figures are given in tabu-
lated form :—

The decrease in the number of deaths from rinderpest and anthrax, the two
most serious diseases, is striking, and is no doubt in part at least due to the work of
the Civil Veterinary Department.
7. The number of breeding bulls kept during the year was 19. The present
system of maintenance is admittedly unsatisfactory; but the whole question of
improving the breeds of cattle in the Presidency is under consideration and the
Government hope to devise more satisfactory methods than those now employed.

last five years :—

There has been a continual and decided increase in the amount spent: but the
total expenditure is small, the main reason being the difficulty experienced in the
past of obtaining officers for the department. There are grounds for hoping that
the career of usefulness offered by veterinary work has at last begun to appeal to
students: and the main difficulty at present is the lack of provision for post-graduate
training to qualify men for the post of Deputy Superintendent—more effective
supervision of the increasing number of assistants being a pressing need in the
department.
The construction of a new laboratory at the Veterinary College has been sanc-
tioned, and the Government hope that when it is constructed it will be possible to
institute a course of post-graduate instruction.
The results obtained from so small an expenditure are gratifying.
