Vetnuus | December 2024 33 Errata: 1. VetNews February 2024, p. 31: Legend 21 should read “OP Village house” instead of “Houses used and managed by OBP”. This was corrected in VetNews March 2024 on p.32. 2. VetNews March 2024, p.28: [The first women who studied veterinary science at Onderstepoort could not stay in Old Res and had to find alternative accommodation.] It was believed that this was the case for all the other women who came to study at Onderstepoort until the 1970s. However, Dr Ingrid Wolleschak BVSc 1958 alerted us to the fact that a few rooms on the ground floor to the southern end of Old Res were partitioned off for female students during the 1950s. The story of the ‘Ladies of Old Res’ was subsequently told in VetNews August 2024 – with input from Prof Neels Roos BVSc 1958, Dr Ingrid Roos (née Wolleschak) BVSc 1958, David and Anne Lize Mordant BVSc 1961. 3. VetNews September 2024, pp. 36 to 37: Dick Loveday’s surname is erroneously given as Lovedale in the captions to the photographs.
