Class photo of the 1931 BVSc graduates

Abstract

The photograph of the Class of 1931 is a more customary composite one. The Dean, Prof. P J du Toit, does not feature in the photo. Two graduates devoted their entire pre-retirement careers to South Africa's Division of Veterinary Services as state veterinarians, both reaching very senior positions. Concise descriptions are given of the life histories of the 8 graduates and can be read in the Journal of the South African Veterinary Association (2007), 78, 3. Bigalke, R.D.
