IV. Biology and Agriculture.
Professor Tuttle.
Adjunct Professor Kepner.
The relations of the biological sciences to Agriculture are so manifold
and the subdivisions of the latter subject so numerous, that it would be
impossible to exhaust the discussion of either in the work of any one
year. Courses consisting in part of lectures and in part of an equivalent
amount of practical work and collateral reading will be offered yearly as
follows:
1B Botany and Agriculture: Botany 1B prerequisite.—In this course
a study will be made of the anatomy and physiology of the higher
plants, especially as related to nutrition and growth; and of the
principles of crop raising as based on the laws of plant life. Professor
Tuttle.
Text-Books.—Stevens' Plant Anatomy; Pierce's Plant Physiology: Vorhee's
Principles of Agriculture.
2B Zoölogy and Agriculture: Zoölogy 1B prerequisite.—In this course
a study will be made of the parasitic Protozoa, Worms, and Arthropods:
the Insects will be considered in their economic relations:
and the anatomy of the domestic animals examined. The relations
of animals to the soil and to plant life will be discussed. Adjunct
Professor Kepner.
Text-Books.—Osborn's Economic Zoölogy; Folsom's Entomology; Smith's
Economic Entomology; Chauveau's Anatomy of the Domestic Animals.
Candidates for a diploma of graduation in Biology and Agriculture
are required to complete the introductory courses in Botany and Zoölogy,
and one advanced course in each, and also the two courses above described.
