Krill To Alumni and Friends of the Col­ lege of Veterinary Medicine: With this first issue of the "Specu­ lum" as a Veterinary College publica­ tion, another of our dreams has come true. The "Speculum" is not a new pub­ lication, having been published quar­ terly over the past eight or nine years by the Omega Tau Sigma Fraternity, which as most of you know is one of two veterinary professional fraternities on our campus.
