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.—Two
lectures and two three-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 the 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
departmental library contains a good working collection of biological texts and
books of reference, as well as files of the more important journals.
