Issue 2, 1986 Cleanliness in China is not a top priority, notes the dean. "The people are poor and their main priority is thinking about the basics — food, clothing and shelter." In spite of the poor sanitation, he says he could not help but be impressed with the overall strides that "one of the oldest cultures known" has made during the last ten years. "If you can imagine," he says, "trying to change the momentum of a billion people who have been doing the same thing for these many years."

A consistent sight was the Chinese on bicycles gliding along roads in a country where Wright says, motorized vehicles are owned primarily "by city and province officials and some foreigners."

"The biggest obstacles to doing these operations lie in three areas," says Fingeroth. "First, veterinarians in the field need to recognize neurologic dysfunction and establish or refer cases for diagnosis. Second, veterinarians should be aware that therapy is now available for conditions that may not have been considered treatable when they were going to school. Finally, owners need to be willing to invest the money and emotional committment into an operation that many see as 'radical' for a pet animal."

1986 Oath and Hooding Ceremony Four Alumni Receive Distinguished Alumnus Award photos by John Swartz

Being admitted to the profession of veterinary medicine, I solemnly swear to use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health, the relief of animal suffering, the conservation of livestock resources, the promotion of public health, and the advancement of medical knowledge.

I will practice my profession conscientiously, with dignity, and in keeping with the principles of veterinary medical ethics.

Department of Veterinary Anatomy Sisson Hall Addition

The 1986 freshman class arrived on the veterinary campus to find their anatomy laboratory classes scheduled in the new 44,400 sq. ft. addition to Sisson Hall. Although the remainder of the facility will not be released for occupancy until later in the year, it is already very impressive.

The $7 million addition contains numerous teaching and research laboratories and faculty offices, and will also be used to house the College's research animals. The facility was planned to provide modern teaching and research space and to comply with federal regulations governing the care of animals. It also provides the additional laboratory and animal facilities required to meet full accreditation standards set by the American Veterinary Medical Asssociation.
