¡@¡@Dr.I.E.
Newson, the former Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine
Colorado State University, the United States, played a prominent
role to set up the National Taiwan University Veterinary Hospital.
In 1952, Dr. Newson was invited by the Council of Agriculture as a
consultant to evaluate education and development of veterinary
medicine and animal husbandry in Taiwan. During his stay, he
suggested that a veterinary hospital should be established
affiliated to the National Taiwan University, to improve quality of
both veterinary education and research. |

¡@¡@The
NTUVH was therefore founded on the National Taiwan University with
finacial support from the Council of Agriculture. Completed in May
16th 1955, the building located on Chou-San Road, was officially
opened to provide veterinary services and clinical instruction for
veterinary medical students. The hospital was the first veterinary
teaching hospital in Taiwan. |

¡@¡@In
the early stage, veterinary services provided by the NTUVH included
care for pets and farm animals, as well as poultry and fish health.
Field investigation was also available on farms and ranches. Apart
from routine veterinary services, the NTUVH was responsible for
animal quarantine that was appointed by the Bureau of Commodity
Inspection and Quarantine, Ministry of Economic Affairs. Such
service was discontinued 30 years after, due to limited personnel
and increasing demands for routine veterinary services to the
public. |

¡@¡@The
clinical services of the NTUVH are completed by both staff
clinicians and clinicians derived from the faculty of the academic
department. Senior veterinary medical students are supervised under
teams of clinicians and faculty members to ensure they receive
proper clinical instruction. In addition, the NTUVH has an
international reputation to attract overseas students. |

¡@¡@Forty
years after the NTUVH was first established, room for
expansion was urgent to cope with over-crowded students and
newly equipped facilities. Former directors of the NTUVH,
Professors A-C Lin and K-Y Chen were very carefully laying
plans for expansion, and keen to seek and acquire a suitable
site and raise money for a new building. A new building was
then successfully founded on the National Taiwan University
and the Ministry of Education. A six-story building with
basement started to construct. Five years later, at the end
of 1995, the new building was completed. In November 15th
1995, the NTUVH moved to the premises and was officially
opened. To enhance further functions, and improve teaching
quality and clinical services, the organization of the NTUVH
was also modulated at the same time. It substantially became
a full-functioning veterinary hospital and one of the most
advanced veterinary hospitals in southern-east Asia. |
