For Undergraduates.
Course B1: 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.
