| A rearing mule warned vet students of the perils of large
animal practice at a Saturday clinic in the early 1900s. Cadets from
Ag Hill also observed the action. The clinics weren't the only outside
activity. Dr. C.A. Cary and his chief assistant, Dr. I.S. McAdory,
didn't have room to perform surgery inside, so they operated underneath
a chinaberry tree. By 1907, Cary was dean of API's School of Veterinary
Medicine and state veterinarian. He helped rid Alabama of Texas tick
fever despite the sometimes armed opposition of farmers to having their
cattle dipped. -- Photo: George D. Ingram |
