ANIMALS IN THE MEDICAL AREA

Established by the Faculty of Medicine on November 2, 1907 "A committee of at least five, which has power to inspect the animal rooms at any time, to issue any orders and regulations they may deem fit for the proper care and feeding of animals, to discharge, after due process, any employee of the School who in any way treats animals with cruelty, to dispose of any animal which is in any way objectionable, and determine the source from which animals are obtained. This Committee shall also have general power to stop any experimental work on animals that they may consider improper or unnecessary."
