Veterinary School.

Many of the important branches of the University are not situated in Cambridge, and the average college undergraduate, not seeing them, nor knowing much of them, hardly considers them as parts of Harvard.

One of these is the Veterinary School. It is a fully equipped veterinary establishment situated on the corner of Village and Lucas streets, Boston. It offers every facility for practical and scientific study of veterinary medicine. Two large brick buildings constitute the school. The first of these, the hospital, has on the first floor the office and a large operating room. There are also on this floor eleven stalls,- six ordinary ones, and five box stalls, two of which are arranged for violent cases. The second floor has twelve more stalls; the dog ward, in which are twenty-five kennels, the pharmacy, and the instrument room.

The third floor has the necessary lofts, and also rooms for the assistant surgeons and house surgeons. In the basement is a shoeing forge and a boiler-room.

The other building adjoins the first. The first floor is given over to horses, there being ten stalls. On the second floor is the lecture room with a seating capacity of eighty. On the floor above is the dissecting room, with its high ceiling, heavily painted brick walls, and asphalt floor. In the rear is the reading and smoking room. The museum, and a room for the house surgeons constitute the fourth floor.

There are about thirty courses offered, several of which are given at the Harvard Medical School. There are eleven professors and instructors on the faculty, and nine other instructors. Professor F. H. Osgood is acting-dean this year in place of Professor C. P. Lyman whose ill-health prevents him from assuming his duties as dean. The students are sixty in number, somewhat of an increase over last year.
