In Dedication To Dr. George H. Hart, Dean of the School of Veterinary Medicine, the establishment of the new veterinary school is the realization of a long-cherished dream. The need for such a school has been widely felt in California, and plans for its organization have smoldered for many years. In 1948 under the guidance and planning of Dr. Hart, 0 staff and curriculum were formulated and in September of that year the first forty-two students were enrolled in the new school. The construction of a four million dollar building to house the school was begun in 1948. By the fall of 1949 the new building equipped with ultra-modern laboratories, operating rooms, classrooms, lecture halls, and a rapidly expanding clinic for large and small animals, was completely occupied. Ninety- four students are enrolled in the veterinary curricula at the present time and the first class will receive their degrees of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in June of 1952. For the future the outstanding faculty and facilities of the new school promise to attract students from the world over to undertake graduate work on the Davis campus; and competent new veterinarians will be readied for their vital role in California agriculture each year. Behind this broad picture stands on outstanding man. Dr. Hart holds degrees of both Doctor of Medicine and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. He received his DVM at the University of Pennsylvania and his MD at George Washington University in Washington, D. C. His association with the University of California began in 1917 as a member of the small veterinary staff on the Berkeley campus. In July, 1926, he came to Davis as head of the Animal Husbandry Division and in July, 1948, he received his appointment as Dean of the School of Veterinary Medicine. To Dr. George H. Hart for his limitless effort, inspiration, and faith in the fulfilment of a dream and to that dream itself - the new school of veterinary medicine - the 1950 El Rodeo is proudly dedicated. ewmmeuW-HWMM' n.3, 34mg ; We
