Abstract: ON June 9, 1863 the United States Veterinary Medical Association was founded in New York City. It became, with the inclusion of the Canadian profession in 1898, the American Veterinary Medical Association, achieving an international solidarity that other professions of medicine still lack. Its oncoming centennial, which will be observed from July 28 to August 1, provides the occasion for a backward look toward the beginnings and the progressive development of this indispensable profession.A brief excursion into Mr. Webster's well known lexicon reminds one whose Latin may be growing rusty that the term "veterinary" is derived from veterinarius, . . .
