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 Zoölogy: 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.
