 The History of Veterinary Medicine Through                                   Eyes of the WVMA Past-presidents

 A brief summary of the history of veterinary medicine in Wisconsin - 1951 to 2016

                                                   by Fred J. Born, DVM

          This document is dedicated to all of the WVMA past-

             presidents who have given us a living history of 

                     veterinary medicine in Wisconsin.

                                     

        WVMA PAST-PRESIDENTS

       

       Editor’s note:  Photos of the WVMA past-presidents from 1920 to 1954, came from thestate of Dr. Delwin Campbell.  

Dr. Campbell was the author of “Veterinary Military History of 

the United States With a Brief Record of the Development of 

Veterinary Education, Practice, Organization and Legislation” 

Vol. One and Vol. Two.  A box of photos was given by the 

family of Dr. Campbell to Dr. Howard Erickson, KSU professor 

of veterinary history.   Dr. Erickson, a friend who knew that I 

was working on the history of veterinary medicine in Wisconsin, 

sent a packet of 44 photos, including these 8 WVMA past-

presidents.    I have transferred these items to the WVMA office 

to be placed in the WVMA archives.
