CLEARING A PATH FOR PROGRESS ...

Percheron draft horses Patty and Par pull while Joel Viloria, left, and Dan Ryan -- students and members of The Aggie Drafts, a draft horse and driving club -- work an antique plow May 7 at a dedication ceremony for the new Veterinary Medicine Instructional Facility. And, shown at right, from left, Susan Collins of University Relations, Chancellor Larry Vanderhoef and Dean Bennie Osburn take a look at the model for the veterinary medicine complex during the dedication ceremony. To be located just north of the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, the two-story, 55,000-square-foot classroom facility is slated for completion in late 2005 and will cost an estimated $27 million. "This new building will be the heart of our veterinary campus, the center of our teaching program, and the hub of our student activities," said Dean Bennie Osburn. — By Mike Sintetos
