Abstract
IN a leading article in Nature of January 8, 1944, the existing constitution and powers of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, and the system of training and examination of British veterinarians was outlined. The key position of the veterinarian in the future, invested, as he must be, with the care of animals upon which our meat, egg and milk supplies depend, was then emphasized, and the interdependence of veterinary medicine and the agriculture from which we derive other vital food supplies was also pointed out. The desirability of a much closer association between the veterinary and the medical professions was also discussed. In the same issue of Nature, reference was made to a paper by Major J. M. Smith, in which he made very clear the vital part played by the veterinarian in the affairs of the British Colonies.
