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. Lectures, Monday,
Wednesday, Friday, 12-1. Laboratory, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, 9-11.
Cabell Hall.
