...certain Mr. Billings has recently written an open letter to the President and fellows of Harvard College through the columns of the Turf, Field and Farm, in which he attacks the Harvard Veterinary School in a very vigorous and somewhat excited manner. The gentleman that wrote it assures his readers that "he is not a 'sore head' " but that he looks upon the "subscription plan" by which the school is carried on as "a disgrace to Harvard College and as bound to exert a most baneful influence, by its example, on the future of American veterinary medicine."
