PREFACE.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION.
The Punjab Veterinary
College.
1. Captain Smith acted as Principal of the Punjab Veterinary College
throughout the year, being confirmed on September 4th,
1907, on the appointment of Colonel Pease as Inspector-
General of the Civil Veterinary Department. Captain Dawson, Captain Holmes
and Mr. Gaiger held the other two Professorships at various times, there being
however short periods during which the staff was short by one English officer.
Khan Bahadur Doctor Amir Shah, Professor of Chemistry, retired on March 1st,
1908, on attaining the age of 60. He had been attached to the College almost
since its commencement, and he had done exceptionally good service, being held
in great respect by his colleagues and the students.
Civil Veterinary Depart-
ment.
2. Captain G. K. Walker held the appointment of Chief Superintendent,
Civil Veterinary Department, Punjab, throughout the year,
and also acted as Superintendent of the South Punjab
Circle, there being no officer available for that charge. Mr. V. De V. H. Woodley
was in charge of the North Punjab Circle as well as of the North-West Frontier
Province. Messrs. Taylor and Carless joined the Department on the 24th June,
1907, and 24th November, 1907, respectively, for training. Mr. Taylor was
kept mainly in the South Punjab, with a view to his ultimately taking over
that Circle.
Extent and duration of
tours of officers.
3. Captain Walker was 141 days on tour, travelling 9,150 miles by rail
and 1,155 miles by road and visiting the districts of
Gurdaspur, Amritsar, Shahpur, Kangra, Delhi, Simla,
Sialkot, Multan, Ambala, Hissar, Ferozepore, Lyallpur, Hoshiarpur and Rawal-
pindi. Extended tours and collections of animals were made in Jullundur,
Hoshiarpur, Hissar and Multan. In the course of his tours, Captain Walker
inspected 27 Veterinary Hospitals, and judged at 7 horse and cattle shows.
He was a member of the Board of Examiners at the Punjab Veterinary College
in April, 1907, and assisted in the examination of the 'nalband' class in January.
He also attended the Veterinary Conference at Calcutta in February, and acted
as Secretary. The Kalka-Simla, Pathankot-Dunera, and Kangra tonga lines
were inspected on one or more occasions.
Mr. Woodley was on tour 83 days in the Punjab, covering 5,438 miles
by rail and 919 miles by road. He judged at 4 cattle fairs and shows, inspected
all the tonga lines in his Circle, and checked the work done at 14 Veterinary
Hospitals. Brood mares, young stock, bulls and stallions were inspected at
convenient centres. Mr. Woodley attended the Veterinary Conference at
Calcutta, and also a lecture on biting flies given by the Assistant to the Imperial
Entomologist at Lahore. Captain Walker and Mr. Woodley both made a special
point of meeting District Officers and discussing veterinary matters with them.

Admission examination.
11. The number of students admitted in April, 1907, was 84, including
25 from Indian Cavalry, 3 from the Army Remount Depart-
ment, 4 from Imperial Service Troops, 2 from Native States, 5
from the Central Provinces, 2 from the United Provinces and one man nominated by
the Kangra District. The balance is made up of 42 civilian students who were
selected from about 180 candidates assembled for the competitive examination
on the 22nd April, 1907.
Educational qualifications

First year class.
13. The first year's class was brought up to 91 by the addition of 7 men
who had failed in their examination in the previous year. Of
this number, one each of the Imperial Service Troops, the
Central Provinces, and the United Provinces, being found unsuitable for the
work, were returned, thus leaving 88 on the register. One man died just before
the Annual Examination and two absented themselves from the Examination.
The number of examinees for the first year class was thus reduced to 85.
Second year class.
14. The second year class commenced with 105 students. Only 103
men were examined at the end of the year as one man
was struck off the rolls for being absent without leave and
another was not allowed to appear in the examination for being in arrears with
fees.
Third year class.
15. The third year class commenced with 73 students. One student died
from plague, and two were expelled for bad conduct, so that
70 men were examined at the end of the year.
Re-examination of stu-
dents who had failed in one
subject.
16. Eight final class students and 3 students of the junior classes who had
failed in one subject only at the previous annual examination
were again examined at the end of June in the subjects in
which they had failed. All were successful.
New system of examina-
tion.
17. In accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Examiners
in their last report, and with the approval of Govern-
ment, the junior classes were examined, by the English
Professors of this College, in all subjects but one, the Board examining each of the
junior classes in one subject and the final class in all subjects.

Of the failures in the first year class, 15 were in one subject only, and
these will be re-examined in that subject at the end of June. Of the seven failures
remaining in this class, one military student was, on my advice, removed from
4
the College. One civil student failed all round so badly that his name has been
struck off, and two scholarship-holders from the Central Provinces did very badly.
The Central Provinces Government have now stopped their scholarships but
these two, with three others, are allowed to continue their studies for another
year. Of the 21 failures, in the second year class, 15 were in one subject only,
and will be re-examined in that subject, at the end of June. Of the 6 remaining
failures in this class, only 4 are continuing their studies for another year as 2
have since left the College. Of the 20 failures in the final year class, 4 will be re-
examined in the one subject in which they failed at the end of June. Two mili-
tary men, on my advice, have been removed by their Regiments and the remain-
ing 14, together with any who may fail to satisfy the examiner in June, are
remanded for another year.
Report of the Board of
Examiners.
19. The Board of Examiners report that "considering the unwieldly size
of the classes the results may be considered satisfactory".
The transport dressers'
class.
20. In addition to the ordinary classes held during the year, a class
of 65 men from the Transport Department received three
months' training as Dressers.
Nalbands.
21. Nine men received a nine months' course of instruction in shoeing.
At the examination held in January, 1908, all these men
passed successfully.
Caste of students.
22. The students in the College at the close of the
year comprised:—
Brahmans ...
Non-Brahman Hindus
Sikhs ...
Muhammadans

Income.
23. The sum paid into the Government Treasury was Rs. 18,718-13-6,
as against Rs. 10,350-8, during the previous year. This
increase is, roughly, distributed as follows:—
Students' fees
Equine treatment
Shoeing
Canine treatment
Examination of horses

The all round increase in the receipts speaks very highly for the continued
popularity of the hospital branch of the College.
Expenditure.
24. The contingent expenditure amounted to Rs. 13,358 as compared with
Rs. 24,237 in the preceding year. The decrease is mainly
under the three heads of laboratory apparatus, cost of books,
and country medicines. In 1906-07, Rs. 7,382 was spent on laboratory apparatus,
but in the year under report, bills amounting to Rs. 133 only have been intimated
to us up to the present through the Accountant-General. The order for
apparatus which was sent to England amounted however to Rs. 1,654-11-0.
Expenditure on books has fallen from Rs. 5,291 to Rs. 2,299, and economies have
been effected under the head, country medicines.
Patients treated.
25. The details of patients treated are as
follows:—
Equine ...
Bovine ...
Canine ...

There is an increase in both equine and bovine patients whilst canine
patients have remained about the same.

The attention of the Simla Municipal Committee has been drawn to the
large outstandings at the close of the year, and steps are being taken for their
realisation. The realisable outstandings will more than make good the small
deficit on the year's working.
The district scales of horse and donkey stallions are almost complete, and
it is hoped that all deficiencies will be supplied in the current year. The situ-
ation as regards donkey stallions has improved greatly with the arrival of 24
from Europe.
As above.
75. With two circles in his direct care, the supervision of the entire
Department and the training of two newly joined officers,
in addition to the introduction of a new system of working,
Captain Walker has had a very arduous year. I cannot speak too highly of
the thoroughness of his work and of the administrative ability which he has dis-
played. I would notice particularly the good relations which Captain Walker
has established between the Department and Local Bodies. Mr. Woodley has
shown great interest in his charge and is a promising officer. Mr. Taylor has
been very quick in acquiring a knowledge of the details of his duties, and both
he and Mr. Carless were able to render useful assistance.
