I. BIOLOGY AND AGRICULTURE.
For Undergraduates.
Biology B1: General Biology.—An elementary study of living organisms
and the relations between animals and plants. Plants will be studied from the
standpoint of metabolism and growth, and animals with special reference to
their responses. Types will be chosen which illustrate the fundamental biological
laws and throw light on the place of man among living things.—(B.A. or
B.S. credit, 6 session-hours.) Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, 11.30-12.30. Laboratory:
Section I, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 8.30-10.30; Section II, Tuesday,
Thursday, Saturday, 8.30-10.30; Section III, Monday, Wednesday, Friday,
2.30-4.30. Cabell Hall. Professor Lewis, Professor Kepner and assistants.
Biology B2: Agricultural Botany: Biology B1 prerequisite.—The physiology
of the higher plants, especially as related to nutrition and growth; the
principles of crop-raising as based on the laws of plant life.—Hours to be
arranged. Cabell Hall. Professor Lewis.
Biology B3: Agricultural Zoölogy: Biology B1 prerequisite.—The parasitic
protozoa, worms, and arthropods; the insects will be considered in their
economic relations, and the anatomy of the domestic animals examined. The
relation of animals to the soil and to plant life will be discussed.—Hours to be
arranged. Cabell Hall. Professor Kepner.
Biology B4: Applied Biology: Biology B1 prerequisite.—Bacteria in
foods and drinking water; the principles on which is based our present practice
in sanitation; bacteria in soils and the part they play in sewage disposal and
agriculture; animals that are liable to affect individual and community welfare
such as the housefly, the mosquito, the hookworm and other parasites.—(B.A. or
B.S. credit, 3 session-hours.) One lecture and four hours of laboratory work
per week. Hours to be arranged. Cabell Hall. Professor
