answer accepted, another important
question Immediately arises viz What
method can next be adopted to insure
further benefits TO medical science? 9he
answer to this question is not so easily
made; but If experience and history
are to supply its solution, it must be
by the continual study Of phenomena
presented by both mankind and ami
mails, that is, through the continued
and closer study OF comparative med
icine. heretofore, and since the Re-
Nuisance this study has been carried
on by two separate bodies OF the stu
dents of mediclne-the human practi-
tioners on the one hand, the verer n
airy practitioners on the other. Indl-
viduals from each side have contribut-
ed their mite for the benefit OF the
other, and for the good OF suffering
men and animals.
IAN accepted proverb, that has again
and again proved its own truth under
all conditions, is that in unity there is
strength. May it not be that this is
the true solution of our question 1t
certainly must be true that men who
are drilled to study the expressions of
health and disease in mankind alone,
are net so we'll equipped as they might
be to reap the full benefits OF their
subsequent observations upon animals,
either in health or disease. 1t must
also be true that those who are train
ed as veterinanes only are not in
condition to realize fully the meaning
of certain phenomena in mankind that
pass before them from day to day. 1t
has already been discovered that some
diseased conditions of animals may give
rise to distressing maladies among
mankind. These have been discovered
by men who have been trained on one
or the other side-that is, partially
trained. Is it not likely, at least, that
through the observation of individuals,
who have been fully trained, new and
unthought of benefcent results may
be obtained?"
Situation at Harvard.
The University is not without hope,
OF course, that the necessary money for
carrying on a school which Is capable
not only OF furnishing such high scien-
tific results, but of developing a body
OF trained professional men whose econ
omic services TO the country could hard
l. be overestimated. will be procured
from the friends Of the science and OF
the College. The vote of the corpor-
alton was that notice be given that no
new Students in veterinary medicine
will be received by the University I'M
til further orders Of the president and
students now in the school shall be
completed so far as any of them may
| desire, that IS, until June 30, 1903. al
| though the free clinic as now carried
on at 50 Piedmont Street is to be closed

Although recognized by veterinarians
everywhere as the leading school Of the
science in the country. and the one 10
which the present development OF vet
Urinary medicine In the United States
is largely due, the Harvard School has
never been peculiarly on anything like
an equality with many others that can
be mentioned. Abroad the great vet
Urinary schools are largely maintained
in connection with the military service
or the government departments Of
meat inspection in the civil service, and
accordingly receive large government
grants. In this country. the New York
school has received 1880 in endcw-
mepts. and has $4,000 year from ths
