History of veterinary medicine--which has always been under-rated in the curricula--is the only discipline within the professional training of a veterinary surgeon which encompasses all subjects. It therefore has a uniting, virtually encyclopaedic, mediating function. The intention of a lecture must be to impart a historic view, to inspire the students to consider the responsibility which man has for animals, and to make them sensitive in their professional life for a critical reflection of the basic intellectual concepts of our time and our society beyond the limits of their knowledge of veterinary medicine. It is the veterinary surgeon's "professional culture"--and an essential part of it is the history of veterinary medicine and domestic animals--which demands that this permanent reflection be the basis for the meaningful work of a veterinary surgeon.
兽医学史——在课程中一直被低估——是兽医专业培训中唯一涵盖所有学科的学科。因此，它具有一种统一的、几乎百科全书式的调解功能。一场讲座的目的必须是传授一种历史观点，激发学生思考人类对动物的责任，并使他们在职业生涯中对批判性地反思我们这个时代和社会的基本思想观念保持敏感，而不仅仅局限于他们的兽医学知识范围。正是兽医的“职业文化”——其中兽医学史和家畜史是其重要组成部分——要求这种持续的反思成为兽医有意义工作的基础。
