I. Botany.
Dr. Maneval.
Mr. Taliaferro.
For Undergraduates.
Botany B1: A brief study of protoplasm and the cell; a survey of
the vegetable kingdom, beginning with the algæ and ending with the seed-plants.
As each group is discussed in the lectures, as many representative
members as practicable are studied in the laboratory, including the
important phases of their life-history. The principles of classification
also are considered and illustrated, and as far as possible applied in connection
with the forms studied.
(B. A. or B. S. credit, 6 session-hours.) Lectures, Monday, Wednesday,
Friday, 12-1. Laboratory, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, 12-2.
