the State Board of Health that he has the training necessary for a
Rural Sanitary Inspector. Classes limited to 5. Correspondence
should be addressed to Dr. W. S. Keister.

Histology.—Lectures, recitations and laboratory work. Daily, except
Saturdays, 9:00 to 1:00.

After a brief survey of cytology, this course presents the microscopic
anatomy of the tissues and the viscera. Fee $40.00.

For further information address Dr. H. E. Jordan.

Embryology.—This course aims to present the subject of human embryology
by means of lectures, recitations and laboratory exercises.
It offers an opportunity for a systematic review of the subject.
Daily, except Saturdays, 9:00 to 1:00. Fee $40.00.

For further information address Dr. H. E. Jordan.

The courses in Histology and Embryology will not be given if fewer than a total
of ten students apply.

The Anatomy of the Human Nervous System.—Twelve hours
weekly for six weeks. This course consists of a laboratory study of
the anatomy of the human nervous system carried out in considerable
detail. The gross anatomy of the spinal cord and brain is first studied,
on the completion of which sections of the more important regions
are studied carefully with the aid of the microscope. Fresh
brains and series of sections of the cord and brain are thoroughly
used. A reconstruction of the central nervous system showing the
more important pathways is prepared by each student. Fee $40.00.
Dr. R. Bennett Bean.

Development and Evolution in Man.—Six hours weekly for six
weeks. Part I. Development. (1) A study of prenatal development
with especial reference to the modes of growth and the interplay
of factors. (2) A study of postnatal development with emphasis
on the Law of Alternation in Growth, and with reference to the
hygiene of infancy, childhood, youth and adolescence. (3) The development
of human types.

Part II. Evolution. (1) Man in the Paleolithic Period. (2) Man
in the Neolithic Period. (3) The Primary stocks of man, their dispersal,
differentiation and subsequent mixture. (4) The Present
Races, their characteristics and their formation from the Primary
stocks. (5) The Types of man found in the present races, their characteristics
and distribution. (6) Problems of Evolution in man. Fee

Anatomy of the Human Body.—Thirty hours a week for six weeks.
This is the same as Anatomy I of the first year in Medicine and includes

Fee $40.00. Dr. Bean.

Topographic Anatomy.—Ten hours weekly for six weeks. This
course is a continuation of Anatomy of the Human Body, and consists
of the systematic study of cross sections, regional anatomy, and
surgical applied anatomy, with a review of the anatomy of the whole
body in relation to medical needs. Fee $20.00. Dr. Bean.

Hours to be arranged with Dr. Bean, with the understanding that the courses
will not be given unless a sufficient number of students desire to take them.

Biochemistry.—First Term. Lecture, 8:30 P. L. Laboratory 10:30
to 1:30. Fee $65.00. Deposit, $10.00. Dr. Waddell and Assistants.

This course is offered primarily for medical students who are deficient in the subject
or desire to make a review. It is designed to cover the chemical structure and
reactions of carbohydrates, lipins, proteins, and other compounds occurring in the
body and its secretions and excretions. Special attention is given to the chemical
physiology of digestion, secretion, excretion, metabolism, and nutrition. The laboratory
work includes the study of carbohydrates, fats, fatty acids, proteins, purine
compounds, blood, milk, bile, and the digestion of foods. Extensive qualitative and
quantitative determinations are made on the urine. For admission, the student must
have completed the standard medical school entrance requirements. Not to be given,
if fewer than 12 enroll. Applications should be made in advance to Dr. Waddell.
