Gabel, D.V.M. i page 7 Cover Story: Veterinary Dentistry Equine Trauma and Critical Care Center atOSCI page 2 page 11 From The Editor's Desk: In the last issue of The Speculum, Dr. Charles Neer posed the question of changing this publication's name. The issue has arisen several times since I have been editor, and I am sure, many times previously. Either very few people read the inside front cover of the last issue, or there exists great apathy on the subject, because we received very few responses. In fact, there was no strong support in changing, only some suggested names. And I quote Dr. Kenneth Haas, one of the first Speculum editors: "Change the name of The Speculum? What ever are we coming to? Next we will question Mother, Apple Pie, and the American Flag. . . They probably want it emblazoned with some title as, The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine Journal of Advanced Clinical Practices and Basic Research,' a prelude to attempting to make its contents just that, removing the Speculum's friendly Ohio-ness and folksy approach to student, faculty, college, and alumni matters."

So, unless we hear strong objection otherwise, the Speculum Advisory Committee voted to keep the name that has been used for nearly 50 years.

Yes, the Equine Trauma and Critical Care Center is going to be built! In the cover story we have summarized some background material and the current facts on the center. We are all very excited to see this come to fruition and will keep you informed on its progress.

Finally, congratulations and best wishes to the Class of 1991. We hope you will stay in touch with those of us at the College and become active members of the Veterinary Medicine Alumni Association.

Issue 1, 1991 notes that when eight or nine research animals are needed for a study, that study is impeded because of a lack of room at the College to house the horses. "Therefore, there's no way to get the research accomplished except on a piecemeal basis, unless for some reason it's a slow time of year and space is available or, alternatively, if someone travels to Finley Farm." The Alice L. Finley Memorial Center, about 15 miles from the College in West Jefferson, Ohio, houses research animals and will function in tandem with the new center. Regarding students, Muir says, "Much of our theriogenology and reproductive medicine is taught out at the farm.

Canine Exercise Area to be Added to Veterinary Hospital by C. Allen Shaffer Construction will soon begin on a canine exercise area located on the east lawn of the Veterinary Hospital. This area, which will be accessed from the patient areas through a new door and ramp leading from the current large dog runs, will provide a safe, secure, direct access environment for exercising canine hospital patients.

1991 Oath and Hooding Ceremony

Two Alumni Receive Distinguished Alumnus Award

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.

I accept as a lifelong obligation the continued improvement of my professional knowledge and competence.

Veterinarian's Oath (adopted by AVMA House of Delegates, July 1969)

On June 13. 1991, one hundred and twenty seven students of The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine repeated the above oath as they received the hood of their chosen profession on the eve of their graduation. Hundreds of friends and family members crowded Mershon Auditorium on the OSU campus to witness this exciting event.
