survey which includes A&M, along
with 90 other campuses from coast
to coast.
The survey, updating an initial
report released Jan. 3, includes the
average dollar value of more than
5,500 offers made to male, first-
degree candidates in 11 key cur
ricula.
The aircraft field continued to
set the pace in dollar value of aver
age monthly offers, despite a $2
drop to $597 since early January.
Others in the first five remained
in the same order: electronics and
instrument manufacturers, $592;
electrical machinery manufactur
ers, $584; chemicals and drug-
manufacturers, $579; and metals,
$574.
Aircraft also continued to lead
in number of offers, but there was
a reshuffling in the next four
spots. Electronics moved into
second followed by chemicals, elec
trical machinery and petroleum.

‘Horse Doctors’
Have Gained Mu/ 1 ^
Through Years
Ut
Forty-three years ago, the
School of Veterinary Medicine
sent out its first four graduates
to practice a profession that was
still relatively new.
It was a time of strange con
trasts for the new veterinarians.
The costly Texas cattle fever
tick had just been conquered.
Yet, many livestock men were
treating cattle for “hollow horn,”
a non-existent ailment. And
animal doctors, the young vets
learned, were still called “horse
doctors” by farmers and ranch
ers.
The year was 1920, just four
years after the veterinary school
was officially established. Since
that time, the organization has
managed to fill the period with
enough research, education and
all-around service to livestock
men to make it one of the top
institutions in the nation.
Veterinary science progress at
Aggieland has moved forward
on three fronts:
Education, or the School of
Veterinary Medicine; research
within the school and with the
Texas Agricultural Experiment
Station; and dissemination of
research findings to farmers
and ranchers through the Texas
Agricultural Extension Service.
Training students to become
veterinarians is the primary role
of the school, but its research
program is highly effective and
just as important. Disease con
trol work has been under way
for more than 72 years. As a
result, an estimated $883 million
in livestock and poultry losses
have been saved. Costs during
that time amount to only $3
million.
