of kymographion has been purchased, as well as several pieces of apparatus

The income derived from tuition fees, together with the liberal
contribution which is annually accorded the department by the generosity
of the children of the late J, B. Lippincott, Esq., one of the
founders of the school, is sufficient to afford reasonably fair compensation
for the services of part of the teaching staff, but for those who
teach the special veterinary branches alone, and are not connected
with, and receive no compensation from other departments of the
University, the salaries are by no' means what should be accorded.
It is to be hoped that the many humane people of Philadelphia jvho

treatment of animals, will interest themselves in securing permanent
endowments for the professorships in the special veterinary
branches, thus, by the increased compensation, enabling the holders
of the chairs to devote more time to original research in the hospital
and laboratories in the direction of the alleviation and cure of sick
and injured animals.
I have the honor to remain very respectfully yours,
