I. Biology and Agriculture.
Biology B1: General Biology: An elementary study of living organisms
and the relations between animals and plants. Plants will be studied from the
standpoint of metabolism and growth, and animals from that of structure and
response. Types will be chosen which illustrate the fundamental biological
laws and throw light on the place of man among living things.—(B.A. or B.S.
credit, 6 session-hours.) Professor Lewis, Professor Kepner and Assistants.
Biology B2: Agricultural Botany: Biology B1 prerequisite.—The physiology
of the higher plants, especially as related to nutrition and growth; the
principles of crop raising as based on the laws of plant life.—Hours to be
arranged. Professor Lewis.
Biology B3: Agricultural Zoology: Biology B1 prerequisite.—The parasitic
protozoa, worms, and arthropods; the insects will be considered in their economic
relations, and the anatomy of the domestic animals examined. The
relation of animals to the soil and to plant life will be discussed. Hours to be
arranged. Professor Kepner.
Biology C1: Evolution and Heredity: Biology B1 prerequisite.—First term:
Evolution, the theory and its history. Second term: The principles of heredity
and their application to social questions. Third term: The biological aspects
of human problems. Lectures only. Professor Lewis.
