We thought you would like to see some of the interesting historical pictures that were found in the process of moving equipment to the new building across the river. Maybe you will be able to help us identify some of the people in these pictures. The first graduating class in 1887 consisted of only one man — Dr. Mark Francis. Today, 2349 have graduated from the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine. At one time it was thought the college would have to be closed because of a lack of students. In 1930 a brochure was published to emphasize other jobs of a veterinarian besides the treating of the horse population. Students were skeptical about entering veterinary med­ icine since it was thought that automobiles and tractors would soon replace the horse and leave the veterinarian without a profession.

FEATURING FORTY-SEVEN As a further service to our alumni, and in an attempt to stimulate increased in­ terest and participation by the old grads in the Speculum, we are doing something- new in this issue. This is a feature on the 10th anniversary graduating class. The in­ formation appearing below was supplied by the members of this class of 1947 in re­ sponse to questionnaires mailed to each member by the Speculum staff. The alumni news editors wish to thank those members of the class who helped by returning the completed questionnaires. The response was extremely gratifying. If space permits, we hope to make these class surveys a regular feature of each issue.

Anti-Canine Distemper Serum And Anti-Infectious Canine Hepatitis Serum And Anti-Leptospira Canicola Serum

An important veterinary addition, Doctor, for your clients' pets and for your practice. The problems of early diagnosis can be simplified by administering Corn States trivalent serum, effective against canine distemper, hepatitis, and leptospirosis. Healthy, adult dogs, hyperimmunized with the viruses of canine distemper, infectious canine hepatitis, and with leptospiral antigens, are used to produce this serum. Rigid tests for sterility, safety, and potency must be passed before each serial lot is released for use. Routine administration of Corn States triple serum to susceptible dogs at home, at shows, before shipment, while hospitalized or boarding will confer immediate protection against two viruses and leptospirosis.
