History
Veterinary service and education at the University of Illinois date to the early years of the university's existence. A course in veterinary medicine and surgery was first offered in 1870, and weekly "horse clinics" became a staple of care for local owners in the late 1800s. In the early 20th century a busy veterinary diagnostic laboratory on the university campus met crucial needs in the state's agricultural industries, along with livestock disease eradication programs led by university personnel.
Although a College of Veterinary Medicine was authorized by the state General Assembly in 1919, it was not until 1944, in response to growing demand from farmers and veterinarians, that the Board of Trustees formally established the college. The following year, in 1945, the Illinois legislature authorized funding to construct a basic science laboratory for the college, though the building was not completed until 1952.
