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. Three hours of lecture and six
hours of laboratory per week. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 6 session-hours.) Professor
Lewis, Professor Kepner, Associate Professor Reynolds, Assistant Professor
Betts and Assistants.
Biology C1: Evolution and Heredity: Biology B1 prerequisite.—Evolution,
the theory and its history; the principles of heredity and their application
to human problems. Lecture only. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 3 session-hours.)
Professor Lewis.
Biology C2: Genetics: Biology B1 prerequisite.—A study of the fundamental
principles of heredity, with special emphasis on their various applications
and on the origins and relations of characters. First and second terms only.
Three hours of lecture and six hours of laboratory per week. (B.A. or B.S.
credit, 4 session-hours.) Professor White.
Biology C3: Economic Plants: Biology B1 prerequisite.— A study of
the family groups of plants from the standpoint of their value to man. Lectures
and demonstrations, three hours per week. First and second terms only.
(B.A. or B.S. credit, 2 session-hours.) Professor White.
