For those students who failed in not more than one subject
in the examinations held in March 1930 in the first and second
year classes and were provisionally promoted, a supplementary
examination was held in October 1930. Four students ap-
peared for the examination and all of them passed.

geons from the Madras Civil Veterinary Department, one from
the Corporation of Madras, and one from the Pudukkottai
Darbar attended the Refresher Course which was held from
July to December 1930.

With a view to impart some practical knowledge in animal
husbandry, dairying, clean milk production, etc., the students
were sent on excursion to the Institute of Dairying and Animal
Husbandry, Bangalore, the Serum Institute, Bangalore, and
the Hosur Cattle Farm. M.R.Ry. K. Kailasam Ayyar Avargal

students received instruction in the care and management
of the dairy stock and practical demonstration in the methods
employed in the processes of pasteurization and bottling of
milk.

At the Serum Institute they were shown the methods em-
ployed in the preparation of anti-rinderpest serum. At the
Hosur Cattle Farm they saw the Piggery, Poultry Yard, and
the Grass Farm where hay-making was in progress, and also
witnessed a demonstration in sheep-dipping.

A Board comprising the following members conducted the

end of the course was further modified.

(f) Hostel, Health, and Athletics.—The management of
the hostel continued to be vested in M.R.Ry. K. Kailasam

The health of the students during the year under review
was good. All the students took part in one or more of the
out-door games, such as football, cricket, hockey, tennis, etc.
As usual the College teams took part in the Inter-Collegiate
Tournaments in football and cricket.
