Opening Address—New Zealand Veterinary Association Conference, 1956

Abstract

Extract

I believe a National Veterinary College has become an immediate requirement. I can say that the Meat Producers Board supports the proposal. We recognize the immediate importance not only of maintaining the regular flow of veterinarians for present needs but of extending our veterinary service. It is clear that we can no longer rely on securing men from abroad, and in any case it is for obvious reasons better to have our own New Zealanders trained here for the job.
