III. Zoology.
Zoölogy B1: Biology B1 prerequisite.—First term: General embryology.
Second and third terms: Comparative anatomy of typical vertebrates. The
course will afford training in histological and embryological technique and in
mammalian dissection.—(B.A. or B.S. credit, 6 session-hours.) Professor
Kepner.
Zoölogy C1: Biology B1 prerequisite.—Experimental zoölogy. A comparative
study of the morphology and behavior of typical invertebrates.—Three lectures
and three two-hour laboratory periods weekly. Abstracting of periodical literature
one hour each week. Professor
Kepner.
Zoölogy D1: Principles of animal histology. Protoplasm, cell organization,
and tissue formation. The student is required to become familiar with the principles
of histological technique and to make his own preparations.—Two lectures
and two three-hour laboratory periods a week. Also a weekly meeting of one
hour for a discussion with the instructor of current literature and of the problems
arising out of the students' work.—Hours by appointment. Professor Kepner.
Further advanced work may be arranged to meet the needs of students.
The Biological Laboratory, completed in 1920, is adequate in size and
arrangements for housing comfortably all classes in Biology. The building is provided
freely with electricity, gas, and water. The equipment consists of compound
microscopes of the best types, microtomes, paraffin ovens, incubators, sterilizers,
and other apparatus required for general and advanced work. The depatmental
library contains a good working collection of biological texts and books of
reference, as well as files of the more important journals.
