For Undergraduates.
Course 1B: Botany.—In this course a study is first made of the
essential factors of plant structure; this is followed by a brief survey
of the vegetable kingdom, beginning with the algae and ending with
the seed-plants. As each group is discussed in the lectures, as many
representative members as practicable will be studied in the laboratory,
including where possible the important phases of the life-history.
The principles of classification will be considered and illustrated,
and as far as possible applied in connection with the forms
studied.
The first term of this course deals largely with the forms of
plant life that are of importance in the management of water supplies,
and is arranged with a view to the needs of students in Sanitary
Engineering. The class is limited for the present to thirty
members. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 12-1. Laboratory, Tuesday,
Thursday, Saturday, 9-11. Cabell Hall.
