Ti-unt Flint announces that after 19 years" of patient and useful endeavor Harvard is compeiieu ivi School of Veterinary Medicine. In explaining this action President Eliot pathetically said: "The university has never before been compelled to abaildon a department of instruction once adopted by it. The. fact eems to foe that small domestic animals, like dogs, cata. and birds, engage the affection of their owners to such a degree that money will be spent freely to save their lives or relieve their sufferings, but tho larger animals, like cattle and horses, An nnt sr.

Docking and overloading are fashionable. an beating and underfeeding are the rules rather than the exceptions. Still, it is perhaps just as well tnat Harvard has quit turning out horse doctors.

That institution is, as we understand it, intended to fit men for the duties of life to them the equipment necessarv to make them useful, successful citizens. If the time when the horse doctor's services must be looked upon as superfluous has not already arrived, we can be sure that it is coming and coming In these days of automobiles and electricity, what wise father will want his son to go through Harvard for the purpose of becoming a horse doctor? Let President Eliot take comfort in the thought that what may be Harvard's present loss must be the gain of the men who might have become horse doctors but for the closing of the School of Veterinary Medicine and found themselves too late in a world where there were no horses to doctor. In place of the School of Veterinary Medicine Harvard might establish a repair shop, where the science of charging batteries and splicing wires may be taught.
