About the author
Born in Edinburgh in 1838, James Law trained in veterinary medicine in Scotland before building an influential career in the United States. He joined Cornell University in its early years and became one of the institution’s first faculty members.
Law is best known as the first dean of the New York State Veterinary College at Cornell and as an important voice in animal health and public health. His teaching, writing, and leadership helped raise veterinary medicine to a more scientific and respected profession.
He died in 1921, leaving behind a legacy tied closely to Cornell and to the development of veterinary education in America.
