I WAS pleased to read that the Association of Veterinary Students (AVS) (of which I have the honour to be a former president and an honorary life member) ‘has established links’ with other student bodies (BVA News, March 6, 2010, p 2). In the dark depths of the mid-1960s, when the very existence of the AVS was threatened by the Deans of the day, we hoped we had done the same. When disappointed by the President of the NUS (a certain Jack Straw; whatever became of him?), we actively sought and received help from the medical (BMSA), dental (BDSA) and pharmaceutical (BPSA) student bodies. The links then were pretty strong. Indeed, I still correspond regularly with members of two of those groups.
