Mary Dick

Mary was a key figure in supporting her brother William in establishing his Veterinary College.

Mary Dick, austere and Calvinistic, was also general censor of the manners and morals of the students.

Former students were her constant and regular correspondents, and she was held in sincere respect and affectionate regard by all.

On 1 December 1873, she wrote to the Trustees suggesting that the Clyde Street school should in future be known as "The Dick Veterinary College".

[3] Mary Dick died at Burntisland at the age of ninety-two and was buried in the family grave in the New Calton Burial Ground, Edinburgh.
