    Mr. MacGregor stated that the course of training for Veterinary
Assistants could probably be undertaken at the colleges, as all
that seemed to be required was to resuscitate the enthusiasm of
men who had lost touch with their colleagues on account of their
isolation in the Mofussil.

    Mr. Hewlett thought that a course of training should be insti-
tuted for the best type of Veterinary Assistant at the commence-
ment of his career, if he displayed any enthusiasm in this direction,
and he suggested that a course might be given to such men for
five or six months at Muktesar.

    Mr Cameron considered that it would be better before dealing
with the question of post-graduate training to settle upon the
details of a three years' course of study, and that the discussion
under this heading might be postponed until the decisions of the
committee appointed were available.

    After some discussion it was resolved to refer the details under
the whole of Section C to the consideration of the committee
appointed.

    As the Committee was unable, however, to complete the labours
allotted to it, the Chairman subsequently proposed the following
resolutions to the meeting, as they appeared to him to embody
the views of the members. The resolutions, which were carried
unanimously, were as follows:—

Resolution I (c)

        (1)  Post-graduate courses for Veterinary Assistants should
            be instituted at all the existing colleges: the syllabus
            for these courses should be approved by the Board of
            Studies.

        (2)  The institution of post-graduate courses of study at Muktesar
            and elsewhere for Provincial officers is approved by this
            conference, and the curricula for these courses should
            be examined by the Board of Studies.

        (3)  Imperial officers should be given facilities for taking post-
            graduate courses at Muktesar and abroad.
