I. Zoology and Botany.
1. In Zoology the class studies the leading principles of the science,
with special reference to the anatomy, physiology and morphology of
typical species throughout the animal kingdom.
Special lectures are given during the course on insects injurious to
vegetation, on fish and oyster culture, and on the breeding, rearing and
diseases of domestic animals.
The fine collection of Zoological specimens in the Brooks Museum affords
excellent facilities for study of the science. The class is continued
until the examination, about the middle of March.
Instruction is given not only by lectures with reference to suitable textbooks,
but practical exercises in dissection are also employed, and the
student is trained to repeat the demonstrations of the Professor.
2. In Botany, the instruction commences about the middle of March,
and continues until the end of the session.
The time is mainly devoted to the study of flowering plants, their
analysis and determination. Cryptogamic Botany, especially fungi and
fungoid diseases of plants, receive as much attention as possible.
In this course as in that of Zoology, careful attention is paid to the
analysis and classification of actual specimens, and practical exercises are
required from the student, both in the laboratory and in the field.
