Between 1763 and 1798 at least 30 young men from the territory of today's Switzerland attended the Ãcole Vétérinaire in Lyon. Various archives provide information about their achievements at the school and their later lives. Several biographies exist. The Bernese Albrecht von Haller was particularly devoted to the idea of sending Swiss students to Lyon. He therefore contacted and corresponded with Claude Bourgelat, the founder of the Ãcole Vétérinaire in Lyon. Both Albrecht von Haller and Claude Bourgelat engaged in fi ghting dangerous epizootic diseases such as Contagious Pleuropneumonia or Rinderpest. They both demanded that all sick animals and animals which had contact with the sick ones should be killed.
