system carried out in considerable detail with gross dissections and microscopic
sections. Equivalent to Anatomy II of the Medical Department. 90 hours.

Anatomy.—June 1st to August 1st. The complete dissection of a lateral
half of the body and a study of the bones. 400 hours.

Anatomy.—A review course designed to cover one part, one-fourth, of
the body. Four hours daily for six weeks.

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.

Alternation in Growth, and with reference to the hygiene of infancy,
childhood, youth and adolescence. (3) The development of human
types.

Bennett Bean.

Topographic Anatomy.—Ten hours weekly for six weeks. This course

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. Chanutin 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
