STUDENT CHAPTER OF THE AMERICA VETEIII ARY MEIIIUAL ASSOUlA'I'l0 HIS society, the first of its kind in America, was organized in 1889 through the efforts of Dr. Leonard Pearson. At that time fraternities did not exist at the school, and the society was needed as a means of bringing the students of all the classes together to discuss sub- jects relating to Veterinary medicine. For more than fifty years this idea has been carried on, giving the students an opportunity to hear papers and see demonstrations by the members and by guest speakers who are outstanding men in their particular fields. In addition to the regular meet- ings held twice a month, the smoker in the fall, to acquaint the Freshmen with the soeietyis activ- ities, and the banquet in the spring, as a farewell to the Seniors, are pleasant social affairs. All students enrolled in the school are eligible for membership, and the officers are elected by vote of the active members twice a year. IVe have as Honorary President, Dr. Emmerson, and as Hon- orary Secretary, Dr. Klein, who occupy these positions as long as they are actively connected With the school. In 1931 the society became affiliated with the American Veterinary lNIedical Association as a junior chapter. This strengthened our association with graduate veterinarians and enabled us to attend the national meetings and secure the Journal of the A. V. INI. A. at a special price. So- cieties similar to this one have been formed at other Veterinary Schools in the country, and this year the American Veterinary iNIedical Association has taken a very active interest in them. In an effort to have all of the societies organized on a similar basis, a model constitution was drawn up and submitted to the various chapters, along with a charter, diploma, and key. Changes were suggested by the members, and when a satisfactory constitution was submitted, this society voted to adopt it, as well as the diploma and key. This meant laying aside our traditional name, The Veterinary lifedical Society, and becoming known as The University of Pennsylvania Student Chap- ter of the American Veterinary lNIedical Association. The entire student body will receive the benefit of the organization's activity through the use of the small animal operating tables purchased by the society this year. But more important is the individual benefit received by each member through active participation in the society. Little bits of information, picked up here and there from fellow students and guests, and the self-con- fidence gained from the presentation of papers and the discussions, should stimulate the students to increase their activity in the society.
