III. General Biology.
Professor Tuttle.
Adjunct Professor Kepner.
Course 5D: Cytology and Comparative Histology: Botany 1B,
Zoölogy 1B, and one of the advanced courses in Plant or Animal Morphology
prerequisite. This course begins with a study of the phenomena of
cell-organization and cell life in both plants and animals: this is followed
by a comparative study of the elements of structure and their embryological
development in the lower and the higher animals, or in a similar series
of plant forms; the work of each student is individually assigned in great
measure. It includes practice in the more advanced methods of technic,
and a critical discussion of the microscope and its intelligent use, as
means to the ends in view. It is accompanied by the consideration of the
fundamental laws of General Biology as founded upon cytological study.
Hours by assignment: the number is not limited.
Opportunity will be afforded to individual students for further advanced
work chiefly along the lines of this course.
A biological seminar will be conducted weekly at an hour that will
be assigned at the beginning of the session, participation in which is required
of all students in courses above Botany 1B and Zoölogy 1 B.
