President
Members
Captain J. Farmer, Superintendent, Government Cattle Farm,
Hissar,
Captain G-. K. Walker. Superintendent, Civil Veterinary
Department, Punjab and North-West Frontier Province.
E. W. Oliver, Esquire, Second Superintendent, Civil Veterinary
Department, United Provinces of Agra and Oudh.
In the 1st year's class, 61 men out of 68 who completed the course presented
themselves for examination, and of these, 51 or 83 per cent. satisfied the examiners.
Of the 10 men who did not do so, 7 failed only in one subject and obtained 45
per cent. marks in the aggregate. They are, therefore, entitled to join the
2nd year's class, and will be allowed to present themselves again in June.
Three men failed in more than one subject, and one of these left the College.
In the 2nd year's class, 61 students presented themselves for examina-
tion, and of these 73 or 90 per cent. were successful. Of the failed men, two
are qualified to proceed with their studies in the next higher class, and be re-
examined in June. The remainder are remanded for a year.
For the final examination, 50 men presented themselves for the Graduate's
diploma. Of these, 47 were ordinary three years' men, and the other 3 were
teachers who had only passed as Veterinary Assistants and who had done another
year's work here. Of the ordinary students, 42 or 89 per cent. were successful
as were also the three Veterinary Assistants. Four men are entitled to present
themselves again in June, and one man has been remanded for a year.
These results may be considered to be very satisfactory.
In the Military two years' course, 18 men presented themselves for a
school examination, and 17 were allowed to proceed with their studies. One man
being considered unfit, was sent back to his Regiment.
