Employment of the Alumni
of the College.

12. The six diplomates of the English course were given
employment in the Punjab Civil Veteri-
nary Department. Appointments have
been obtained for 12 Veterinary Assist-
ants (Urdu course) during the year, but there are still
some 90 men on the unemployed list, of which some are
pensioners and some unemployable. Since the year to
which this report applies however 9 men have been
given employment in the Civil Veterinary Department
on expansion of establishment.

General Remarks.

13. There is steady progress in the popularity of the
Institution on both the educational
and Hospital sides as shown by the
large number of applicants for admission, the increase
in the number of patients brought for treatment and
the rising revenue.

The accommodation and equipment will now bear
comparison with any other Institution of its kind in the
world and the facilities for instruction are very satisfactory.

The Hostel for the students and accommodation for
the staff require to be improved, but it is expected that
a good deal will be done in this direction during the
forthcoming year.

These have been delayed hitherto from financial
reasons.

During the year the health and behaviour of the
students residing in the College Hostel were good and
an interest has been taken in sports and games.

Before handing over charge Colonel Walker expressed
a wish that his appreciation of the work of the staff
(teaching, hospital and clerical) during the time he has
held the office of Principal might be recorded in generous
terms.
