HISTORICAL SKETCH

T H E FOUNDING OF T H E COLLEGEr - p i H E NEW YORK s t a t e v e t e r i n a r y c o l l e g e was established by act of

[_ the State Legislature in 1894: “T h e re is hereby established a State V eterinary College at C ornell U niversity ,” Laws of New York, 1894, p. 307. By action of the B oard of T rustees of C ornell U niversity, Ju n e 10, 1894, the location of the College upon the U niversity cam pus was authorized. I t was fu rth e r enacted th a t w hile the U niversity does no t undertake any financial responsibility for the build ings, equ ipm ent, or m aintenance of the College, it does consent to furn ish instruction upon such subjects as are or shall be in its curricu lum , u p o n such term s asmay be deem ed equitable.

By fu rth er acts of the Legislature provision was m ade for the b u ild ­ings, equ ipm ent, and m ain tenance of the College and finally, in 1897, by “An act to provide for the adm in istra tion of the State V eterinary College, established by C hap ter 153 of the laws of 1894,” the T rustees of C ornell U niversity were en trusted w ith its adm inistra tion .

W ith the creation of the State U niversity of New York in 1948, the V eterinary College, as one of the four State-supported un its a t C ornell U niversity, became one of its in tegral parts. “C reated to provide a com ­prehensive and adequate program of h igher education the State U n i­versity now includes m ore than th irty educational institu tions. T h e V et­erinary College, function ing in this b road context, offers teaching and research facilities to serve the veterinary m edical needs of the State.

OBJECTS OF TH E IN STITU TIO NAs stated in the act to provide for the adm in istra tion of the College:

“T h e State V eterinary College, established by C hapter 153 of the laws of 1894, shall be know n as the New York State V eterinary College. T h e object of said V eterinary College shall be: T o conduct investigations as to the natu re , prevention, and cure of all diseases of anim als, in ­cluding such as are com m unicable to m an an d such as cause epizootics am ong livestock; to investigate the econom ic questions w hich w ill con­tribu te to the m ore profitable breeding, rearing, and u tilization of anim als; to produce reliab le standard p repara tion of toxins, an ti­toxins, and o ther productions to be used in diagnosis, prevention, and cure of diseases, and in the conducting of sanitary work by approved m odern m ethods; and to give instruction in the norm al struc tu re and

function of the an im al body, in the pathology, prevention , and trea t­m ent of anim al diseases, and in all m atters p e rta in in g to sanitary science as applied to livestock and correlatively to the h u m an fam ily.”

T h e values of farm livestock in the U n ited States and in the State of New York are given in the follow ing tables taken from a rep o rt of the U.S. D epartm ent of A griculture, A gricu ltu ra l M arketing Service, Crop R eporting Board, w hich was released Jan u a ry 1 , 1956.

I t w ill be no ted th a t the farm anim als of New York were valued at less than hali a b illion dollars. T h e value of dairy products and eggs m ore than doubles this figure. H ence, it is clear th a t the anim al industry of New York is w orth abou t one b illion dollars annually .

T h e function of the V eterinary College is to pro tect the h ea lth of this great industry. T h is is done th rough the tra in in g of veterinary practitioners, th rough research w ork on the p revalen t diseases, and th rough services rendered by a series of diagnostic an d service labo ra­tories located in Ithaca and a t seven o th e r places th ro u g h o u t the State.

SITUATION AND BUILDINGS

r - r . H E v e t e r i n a r y c o l l e g e is located on the cam pus of C ornell Uni- 1 versity a t Ithaca, a city of approxim ately 22,000 p e rm an en tres i-

dents, s ituated in the famous F inger Lakes R egion of New York a t the head of Cayuga Lake. T h e city is in the south-central p a rt of the state, abou t 260 miles from New York on the m ain line of the L ehigh Valley R ailroad . I t has excellent a ir connections w ith Boston, New \o r k , Buffalo, and o ther cities by way of M ohaw k Airlines.

Since it was founded in 1896, the College bu ild ings have gradually approached the center of the cam pus because of the grow th of o ther narts of the U niversity a round them . Early in 1954 construction was beeun on a com pletely new set of build ings. T hese are nearly com ­pleted as of this w riting (July, 1956). T h e college w ill move in to the newbuild ings som etim e before Ju ly 1, 1957.

T h e new build ings are at the eastern edge of the cam pus on a p lo t of abou t tw enty acres in area. N ineteen in num ber, they occupy nearly twelve acres, leaving the rem ainder for paddocks and exercise lots for anim als. T hey w ill constitu te one of the finest physical p lan ts possessed bv any of the w orld’s veterinary schools. T h e equipm ent, of the m ost m odern type, w ill be am ple for teaching and research in the basic andclinical sciences.

T H E VETERINARY COLLEGE LIBRARYT h e College is fo rtunate in being a p a rt of a great U niversity w here

it is able to ob ta in the assistance and use the facilities of great scholars in m any disciplines. O ne advantage is access to the various lib raries of the U niversity, w hich contain m ore th an 1,800,000 volum es and 12,000 cu rren t periodicals and society transactions. O f the greatest usefulness to the College is the special veterinary lib rary w hich is housed in a College bu ild ing . T h is lib rary consists of m ore th an 28,500 volum es and approxim ately 500 cu rren t periodicals in the field of m edical sciences. T h is lib rary is second to no o ther special veterinary lib rary in this

c o u n tr y ^ te ^ n a ^ lib rary was in itia lly endow ed by a gift from Roswell P Flower, who was G overnor of the State of New York w hen the Col­lege was founded. For this reason it was nam ed, in his honor, the Flower (Veterinary) L ibrary. I t is m a in ta ined partly on endow m ent funds and partly on app rop ria tions from the State.

ADMISSION AND

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS

Si n c e the fall of 1949 the m in im um education requ irem ents for adm ission to the New York State V eterinary College have been the

satisfactory com pletion of two years’ study in an approved college or university. T h e two years of college study m ust include:

English— 6 semester hoursPhysics— 6 semester hours, includ ing laboratory Biology or Zoology— 6 semester hours, inc lud ing laboratory Chem istry— 12 semester hours, inc lud ing O rganic Chem istry

w ith laboratory.T h e courses in English, physics, and biology or zoology should cover

a t least one academ ic year each. T h e w ork in chem istry should cover at least one and a ha lf academ ic years an d m ust include a course in o r­ganic chem istry w ith laboratory work. A course in zoology is p referred to a course in biology.

A n app lican t is urged no t to take courses identical to, or substan­tially indentical to, those in the veterinary curriculum .

A n app lican t for adm ission is expected to have facility in the use of the English language in speech an d com position. T herefo re, a course in oral and w ritten com position, o r in speech, is strongly recom m ended.

T h e choice of o ther courses is left to the student, b u t the follow ing are recom m ended: qu an tita tiv e chem ical analysis, a m odern foreign language, history, economics, governm ent, botany, m athem atics, b iom ­etry, philosophy, psychology, com parative anatom y, general physiology. I t is suggested th a t n o t m ore th an 30 semester hours of the m in im um requirem ents be devoted to chemistry, biology or zoology, and physics.

T w o years of s tudy has been in te rp re ted as m eaning the passing of one half as m any semester cred it un its as are req u ired by the pa rticu la r in stitu tio n for its baccalaureate degrees. M ost in stitu tions w hich are ru n on a semester basis requ ire 120 units, b u t some req u ire 124, and some even 128. A t least 60 semester un its m ust be presented, therefore, and in some instances 62 o r more.

A registered college is one w hich is registered w ith, an d its cu rricu ­lum approved by, the New York State E ducation D epartm en t. A ll col­leges w ith in New York State w hich are au thorized to g ran t baccalaure­ate degrees are registered and approved. T h is is no t true, however, of

all such institu tions outside New York State. In general, practically all ol the larger colleges and universities are registered. If in d o u b t as to w hether any pa rticu la r school is registered, one should address cor­respondence to the State E ducation D epartm en t, A lbany N Y and n o t to this College.

The Farm Practice R equ irem en t form erly could be m et d u rin g sum ­m er vacations after adm ission to the College. T h is req u irem en t has

een increased, and at least one h a lf of the experience m ust now be ob tained p rio r to admission. A to tal of 20 farm practice points is re­quired , ol w hich at least 10 m ust be for experience w ith livestock A m inim um of 10 points, inc lud ing no t less th an 5 for livestock m ust be presented to qualify for adm ission. By livestock, farm anim als are m eant. Dogs and cats are no t included, and no t m ore than 3 points may be claim ed for experience w ith poultry .

Farm practice po in ts are aw arded on the basis of tests adm inistered by the D epartm ent of Farm Practice, New York State College of A gri­culture, Ithaca, N.Y. Except for students w ho have previously enrolled in the College of A gricu lture and whose farm practice scores are avail­able to it, the Com m ittee on Adm issions of the V eterinary College will estim ate the experience of all candidates. A ll who are adm itted w ithou t farm pratice ra tings in the D epartm en t of Farm Practice w ill be re­qu ired to take the tests after adm ission, and all w ho are found to be deficient w ill be requ ired to m ake u p th e ir deficiencies d u rin g the first two sum m er vacations w hile they are in college.

A pplicants who have been reared on farms w here livestock are kept should easily m eet all requirem ents. T hose w ho are no t farm -reared will have to spend a t least three m onths as full-tim e farm workers w ith some responsibility for farm anim als to qualify fo r adm ission. T h e full requirem ents can hard ly be m et by less th an six m onths of such experi­ence. L ittle cred it w ill be allow ed for experience ob ta ined before the age of 14 years.

T h is requ irem en t is applicable only to m en students who are U nited States citizens; nevertheless, women applicants w ill im prove the ir chances of acceptance by acqu iring as m uch experience w ith farm anim als and farm life as they can get.

\ \ henever possible, prospective applican ts are urged to o b ta in the ull experience requ ired before su bm itting th e ir applications. In a

highly com petitive situation , those who have the fu ll requ irem ents will have an advantage over those w ho have only the m in im um

T h e app lican t should w rite, in the fall of the year preceding the one in w hich adm ission is desired, to the D irector of Adm issions of C ornell U niversity, Ithaca, N Y., requesting the app lica tion forms for adm ission to the V eterinary College. T h e D irector of Admissions will requ ire a transcrip t of the ap p lican t’s college record and h igh school regents m arks if a New York State h igh school was attended .

ADMISSION R EQ U IR E M E N T S 15

T h e num ber of students th a t can be adm itted annually is lim ited. I t is likely th a t the num ber of applicants w ho can m eet the scholastic requirem ents w ill exceed the n u m b er th a t can be accepted. In this case a C om m ittee on Admissions of the Faculty of the V eterinary College w ill select those to be adm itted after considering n o t only the form al p repara tion b u t also the available evidence bearing on each ap p lican t’s character, seriousness of purpose, and fitness for the work th a t he p ro ­poses to undertake. T h e com m ittee w ill requ ire a personal interview, whenever this is feasible.

P rio rity of app lica tion is n o t necessarily a de term in ing factor in the selection of students to be adm itted ; nevertheless, the gathering and w eighing of the necessary evidence requ ire time, and, as the com m ittee will begin filling the eligible list early in the year, it is advantageous to the candidate to file his app lication early. M arch 1 is the latest date for filing applications. S tudents who have n o t com pleted the work requ ired for adm ission b u t expect to do so p rio r to Ju ly 1 may apply, and the com m ittee w ill act on the applications provisionally.

T h e V eterinary College, alone or in com bination w ith o ther d ep art­m ents of the U niversity, offers advanced students excellent o p p o rtu ­nities for study and investigation.

I N V.M.). . .A t its m eeting of Jan u ary 28, 1955, the Faculty approved the establishm ent of a new degree, D.Sc. in V.M., and subsequently this degree was ap ­proved by the U niversity Faculty and by the B oard of T rustees. Cornell is the first university in the U n ited States to offer this degree.

A lthough enro llm ent for this degree is expected to be small, it should provide some of the tra ined m anpow er th a t is needed in the profession. T h e tra in in g received w ith the D.V.M. is no t sufficient today for m any of the professional requirem ents, especially in p ro ­viding staff m em bers for the new er and rap id ly expand ing schools of veterinary m edicine.

*By action of the Faculty, January 28, 1955.

C ornell w ill continue to offer the degree of Ph.D . w ith a m ajo r in veterinary m edicine to persons doing o rig inal research in the basic sciences (such as anatom y, bacteriology, physiology, and pathology). T h e new degree w ill provide ad d itiona l tra in in g to m en w ho have already experienced an appren ticesh ip in research, b u t who need a m ore extensive scientific background in specific re la ted subjects. I t is expected th a t the new degree can serve m ost effectively in the clinical sciences (such as m edicine, surgery, an d therapeutics), where the Ph.D. degree is no t well adapted ; and provision has been m ade for p a rt of the program to be taken a t the C ornell M edical College w henever it appears advisable.SEM IATA R S . . .T h e several departm ents of the College hold sem inars or special conferences for th e ir advanced an d g raduate students. T h e sem inar hears reports of the results of investigations and the progress of knowledge in its pa rticu la r field, discusses m ethods of advanced and independen t work such as are expected of those who are p reparing theses or prosecuting any special investigation, and hears the reports of the students on the progress of th e ir work. By m eans of the sem inar the studen t incidentally gains facility in p ub lic speaking and fits him self to take a creditable p a rt in the m eetings of veterinary or m edical societies.

STUDY FOR PRACTITIONERST h e very rap id advances m ade d u rin g recent years in veterinary

T h e New York State V eterinary College wishes to satisfy this w ant as far as practicable and offers every facility at h an d to accom plish this end.

V eterinarians who are legally au thorized to practice a t the ir places of residence will be adm itted to any class in the College at any time and for such period as they may elect w ithou t en trance exam inations.

T h e course in veterinary m edicine, princip les and practice, extends over the last two years of underg raduate study, the subjects of the second year being distinct from, and com plem entary to, those of the first. I t includes the constitu tional, dietetic, and toxic affections and the noninfectious m aladies of the different systems of organs—digestive, respiratory, circulatory, u rinary , cutaneous, and visual—of the various genera of dom estic anim als. I t also includes a study of the clinical phases of infectious diseases and the d isturbances of m etabolism .

O u r p rox im ity to the city and to a well-stocked ag ricu ltu ra l country tends to secure a greater variety of patien ts than can be had in a large city rem ote from country flocks and herds. S tudents take charge of a few unusual cases in the hospital and m any rou tine cases in the am bulatory clinic an d keep a com plete record of each case. T h e course also includes instruction in diagnosis. T h ro u g h the m edium of laboratory work students are expected to acquire a m ethodical system of exam ination by repeated systematic observations on both norm al and diseased anim als T h e work involves the use of various special diagnostic m ethods taugh t in o u r own and o th er laboratories of the College, such as exam ination of the blood, milk, u rine, and feces the application of sero-diagnostic m ethods, etc.

Ambula tory Clinic

An am bulatory o r out-clinic is conducted for the purpose of giving in struction to students u n d e r conditions identical w ith those encountered in p rivate practice P roper conveyances and eq u ipm en t are provided, and an op p o rtu n ity is afforded for observing such diseased farm and dairy anim als as cannot be en tered in the clinics of the College. T h e studen t thereby no t only has an opp o rtu n ity to see cases not readily b rough t to the College clinic b u t also assists in hand ling cases in the same m anner an d un d er the same environm ent as a re requ ired of the country practitioner. As the vicinity of Ithaca is largely devoted to dairying, valuable clinical m aterial re la ting to obstetrics and the diseases of dairy cows is available and is

Classroom Work

Course 30 in G eneral Surgery, Course 40 in G eneral Pathology, and Course 31 in Surgical Exercises together constitu te a group designed to im p art a general knowledge of the principles of surgery, surgical pathology, therapeutics, and operative technique.

Course 32, a total of seventy-five lectures and recitations, is devoted to the surgery of the various regions of the body and includes horseshoeing.

Laboratory WorkT h e laboratory work includes Surgical Exercises and General Surgery. In the course

in Surgical Exercises th e studen t is req u ired to perform m ost of the im p o rtan t operations on horses and cattle. T h e anim al is placed un d er general anesthesia, w hich is m ain tained u n til the close of the period, w hen the subject is destroyed. T h e m aintenance of chloroform anesthesia for three consecutive hours gives the studen t valuable experience in the technique o f general anesthesia, for w hich there is a constantly increasing dem and. Em phasis is placed on asepsis and antisepsis, arrest of hem orrhage, su turing , and dressing, so that, while acquiring skill and knowledge

of the appearance, resistance, and general character of living tissue, the studen t also forms proper hab its in surgical procedure.

In G eneral Surgery laboratory, most em phasis is placed upon the farm anim als, b u t m any basic princip les m ay be ad ap ted to all classes of anim als. Subjects taught include restrain t, various m ethods of adm in istering m edicines, su turing , bandaging, exam ination of teeth , exam ination of the feet, an d com plete exam ination for soundness.

S tudents will be requ ired to present reports on th e ir studies of selected cases from the clinics, and these will be criticized and discussed by the Faculty mem bers. In this way special knowledge and viewpoints of the anatom ist, biochem ist, physiologist, pathologist, bacteriologist, an d parasitologist, as well as those of the clinicians, will be b rough t to b ear on problem s of diagnosis and therapy.

203. CLINICS. T h ro u g h o u t the fo u rth year. Daily, includ ing nights and Sundays when necessary. Professor L eo n a rd in charge.

D uring his fo u rth an d final year the veterinary studen t is requ ired to spend his tim e, a fte r 9 o’clock daily, studying and m inistering to the ailm ents of patients. He is on call, n igh t and day, d u rin g the en tire year. For this reason he is no t p e r­m itted to carry ex tra academ ic courses, and outside part-tim e em ploym ent is not accepted as a valid excuse for failure to m eet his fu ll responsibilities in these courses.

U nder a p lan of ro tation , students are requ ired to work in groups in the several clinics so th a t they may acquire a varied experience. W ork in one of the clinical divisions may no t be substitu ted for th a t in any of the others.

W ork in clinical pathology and autopsies will be supervised by the D epartm ent of Pathology and Bacteriology. Such work is no t regarded as separate courses b u t as fundam ental parts of the clinical train ing . As a p a r t of th e ir clinical duties, students will be requ ired to carry out, u n d e r the supervision of the clinical p a th ­ologist, such laboratory procedures as are indicated. I f the p a tien t dies, the same students who attended him du rin g life w ill be req u ired to conduct the autopsy and to make any pathological, bacteriological, o r biochem ical tests th a t are neces­sary to provide com plete inform ation on the n a tu re of the disease, th e reasons for failure of the therapeu tic procedures used, and the cause of death.

A t the end of each term , the perform ance of each studen t in all the clinical divisions will be considered by all m en giving the course, in a special m eeting called for this purpose. Failu re to do satisfactory work in any of the divisions will m ean failure in the en tire course.

Th e f i e l d of veterinary m edicine offers excellent o p p o rtun ities for those w ho have a lik ing for m edicine and are in terested in anim als.

T h e work often is rigorous. T h e com pensation varies greatly. O ne can seldom become w ealthy as a ve terinarian , b u t in te lligen t and conscien­tious service usually is rew arded by an adequate incom e. T hose w ho are genuinely in terested in the work have the satisfaction of serving a useful purpose; those w ho are looking for g reat financial re tu rn s are advised to look elsewhere.

Some of the opportun ities for veterinary graduates are given below:

I . P r i v a t e P r a c t ic e

V eterinary practice is a wide field w ith excellent o p p o rtun ities for well qualified persons. Practice may be (a) general, in w hich the in ­div idual offers his services in dealing w ith all species of anim als; (b) sm all anim als, in w hich only household pets are treated; o r (c) spe­cial, in w hich only certain specific conditions are handled . A bou t two- th irds of the graduates of veterinary colleges sooner or la te r become private practitioners.

I I . Sa l a r ie d P o s it io n s

A bout one-th ird of veterinary graduates o b ta in positions on a salary basis. T h e m ajority of these are w ith the federal, state, county, and m unicipal governm ents, the rem ainder w ith private corporations.

(a) P rivate C orporations:

M any veterinarians are em ployed by the large m ilk com panies, by large stock farms, by serum and virus m anufacturers, and by d ru g m anufacturers.

(b) G overnm ental Agencies T h a t Em ploy G raduate V eterinarians:

1. Agricultural Research Service, U.S. D epartm ent of AgricultureT h is Service employs m ore veterinarians th an any o th e r single

agency. T h e greatest n u m b er are engaged in m eat inspection, bu t m any act as livestock agents and inspectors, inspectors in q u a ran tin e stations, and inspectors in biologic p rodu ctio n plants; others are en ­gaged in research and investigation in laboratories and in the field.

2. Veterinary Corps, U.S. A rm y and U.S. A ir ForceCivilian veterinarians w ho are males, physically qualified, and

graduates of a veterinary college acceptable to the Surgeons G eneral of the U.S. Arm y and U.S. A ir Force and w ho elect to go on active duty are eligible to m ake app lication for ap p o in tm en t in the grades ol first lieu ten an t to colonel inclusive, the grade being determ ined by the age, veterinary professional experience, and professional qualificationsof the applicant.

3. State GovernmentsEvery state has a state ve te rinarian or sim ilar officer, usually in the

departm en t of agricu lture, whose duties are to look after the h ea lth o anim als by enforcing laws and regulations d raw n for this purpose. In m any states the state ve terinarian has a corps of assistant veterinarians.

M any state h ealth departm ents have one or m ore veterinarians on the ir staffs to advise on anim al diseases th a t have significance in hum an health and to investigate outbreaks of such diseases.

A lm ost every ag ricu ltu ra l school has a veterinary departm en t, some of these em ploying five or six veterinarians as research workers and teachers. T h e veterinary colleges of the country have staffs of tw enty to th irty veterinarians each. T each ing opportun ities are num erous in every field of veterinary education. Young veterinarians w ho have been in the u p p er qu artile of th e ir class should consider this b ranch of the profession seriously.

4. M unicipal GovernmentsM ost cities em ploy g raduate veterinarians on a full-tim e basis, and

m any towns and villages on a part-tim e basis, as m em bers of their health departm ents. T h e duties of these m en usually are connected w ith the sanitary control of m eat and m ilk.
