Abstract:

Makerere College was the highest tertiary institution teaching professional courses. At Makerere,
as it was called, both academic and extra-mural pursuits were emphasised. I was capta n of cricket,
athletics, member of the swimming team and was elected President (Chairman) of the Gares
Committee which consisted of captains of all the games played at Makerere, notably football

at Makerere, subsequently I chose to pursue a course leading to a diploma in Veter nary Science
of East Africa. The course consisted of two pre-clinical years and two clinic3I years. Our grcn
