APPENDIX VI.
REPORT OF THE DEAN OF THE FACULTY OF
VETERINARY MEDICINE.
To THE PROVOST OF THE UNIVERSITY,
SIR : I have the honor of submitting the following report of ths
operations of the Department of Veterinary Medicine during the three
years from October, 1889, to October 1, 1892.
During the three years above mentioned the department has steadily
progressed in teaching facilities, and the number of students in attendance
has shown an annual increase.
The desire to furnish a course in veterinary medicine as complete
as possible in all particulars, together with the annual increase in the
number of students, has necessitated the appointment of additional
members to the staff of teachers. With this in view, in 1889 the
Board of Trustees, on the recommendation of the Faculty, created a
Professorship of General Biology in the department, and appointed
Dr. Charles S. Dolley to the position. During tj>e same year the Board
of Trustees appointed Dr. Simon J. J. Harger, formerly Demonstrator
of Veterinary Anatomy in the department, to the Assistant Professorship
of Veterinary Anatomy, and in 1891 to the full Professorship of
Veterinary Anatomy and Zootechnics.
In 1891 Dr. Leonard Pearson was added to the Faculty as Assistant
Professor of the Theory and Practice of Veterinary Medicine.
Thus while the Faculty, during the session of 1888-89, consisted of
ten members, it consisted during the session just past (1891-92) of
twelve members.
During the period above referred to an increase was also made in the
number of Lecturers and Demonstrators by the creation of the following
Lectureships and Demonstratorships with the appointment of
teachers to fill them :
Lectureship on the Theory and Practice of Canine Medicine, and the
appointment thereto of Dr. Alexander Glass.
Lectureship on Veterinary Sanitary Science and Demonstratorship
of Normal Histology, and appointment thereto of Dr. Robert Formad.
Demonstratorship of Veterinary Obstetrics, and the appointment
thereto of Dr. Wm. H. Ridge,
Demonstratorship of Comparative Physiology, and the appointment
thereto of Dr. Leo Breisacher,
