                                 REPORT

                                                            ON THE

            PUNJAB VETERINARY COLLEGE

                                  For the year 1915-16,

                                                                  BY

                COLONEL H. T. PEASE, C.I.E., PRINCIPAL.

Staff.

1. I remained in charge of the College during the year. Mr. Pool was
Post Graduate Professor, and Mr. Taylor was in charge of
the out-patient clinic, dog hospital, and the duties of Pro-
fessor of Pathology and Parasitology. Mr. E. Burke was Professor of Surgery
and in charge of the in-door clinic. Mr. Gaiger, Professor of Sanitary Science,
who was on sick leave, has, I much regret to say, been obliged, owing to
continued ill health, to retire from the service during the year. This is a great
loss to the College and to the Department. I have continued to perform the
duties of Professor of Sanitary Science in addition to my own.

Khan Bahadur Syed Mahtab Shah, Gilani, was Professor of Anatomy,
Khan Sahib Syed Sirdar Shah, Professor of Cattle Pathology, and Khan
Sahib Raja Ghulam Hussain Khan, House Surgeon. Some changes have been
made in Lecturers: Mool Singh has been promoted Assistant to the Professor of
Equine Medicine, Haq Nawaz Khan has been appointed, on probation to the
post of Assistant to the Professor of Pathology, Mushtaq Ahmad to that of
Assistant to the Professor of Surgery, and Karam Ilahi as Assistant to the Post
Graduate Professor. As the three latter are not yet fully qualified for the posts,
they have been appointed on probation on reduced pay, and will only be con-
firmed and brought on to full pay when they have made themselves efficient.
There are still some posts on the regular establishment which I have not yet
been able to fill.

Courses.

2. There are now two separate courses at the College, vis., (a) the old
three years' course for Military students and those from
other provinces; and (b) a four years' course for Punjab
and North-West Frontier Province students. This four years' course will give
the Punjab about 20 more highly trained men a year to select from. Seventy-
new students were admitted; of these 38 came for the three years' course and 32
for the new four years' course There were two remanded students in the three
years' course: so that the total number in the first year class was 72.

The demand for admission was, as usual, very great, but, owing to the
war, Indian Cavalry Regiments only sent 11 men, so we were able to take more
civilians.

Admissions.

3. There were 65 students in the second year class at the commence-
ment of the term: of these 2 were removed from the rolls
for irregular attendance.

There were 57 students in the final class: of these one man died of pthisis
and I remanded man passed out in June, leaving 55 to complete the course.

The newly admitted students came from—
