Biology B1: General Biology: An elementary study of 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.)

Professors Lewis and Kepner, Associate Professor Reynolds, Assistant
Professor Betts and Davis 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. Three hours of lecture per week. (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.

Professor White.

CHEMISTRY

A fee of $20.00 and a breakage deposit of $5.00 are required for each course
involving laboratory work, and for research courses.

Chemistry B1a: General Chemistry: The fundamental principles of chemistry.
The first term is devoted to an introduction to the atomic theory and

the chemical view of matter and a study of acids, bases, and salts. The
second term occupies a consideration of the electrolytic dissociation theory,
oxidation and reduction reactions, equilibrium, and typical nonmetallic elements.
The third term is devoted to an introduction to the chemistry of carbon,
the descriptive chemistry of the more important metals and a brief introduction
to qualitative analysis. Three hours of lecture and six hours of
laboratory per week. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 6 session-hours.)

Professor Carter, Dr. Bell and Assistants.

Chemistry B2: Chemical Principles: Chemistry B1 prerequisite.—An
intermediate course designed to bridge the gap between general chemistry
and physical chemistry. The principles touched upon during the first-year
course are restated and treated from a more advanced viewpoint. Two
hours of lecture per week. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 6 session-hours, when
taken with B2a or B2b.)

Professor Yoe.

Chemistry B2a: Qualitative Analysis: Prerequisite, Chemistry B1a: Corequisite,
Chemistry B2.—A laboratory course devoted to the study of systematic
qualitative analysis. Six hours of laboratory work per week and
one lecture or recitation on the technique and theory of analytical chemistry.

Professor Yoe and Assistants.

Note: Chemistry B2 and B2a are specially recommended to pre-medical
students who wish to obtain more chemistry than the minimum requirement
of the Medical School.

Chemistry B3: Organic Chemistry: Chemistry B1a or b prerequisite.—
An introduction to the study of the compounds of carbon, including the
application of modern chemical theory to such compounds and their reactions.
Three hours of lecture and six hours of laboratory per week. (B.A.
or B.S. credit, 6 session-hours.)

Professor Bird and Assistants.

Chemistry B5: Undergraduate Research: To be eligible for this course
a student must have completed at least two of the three courses, B3, B2b
and C1, and must either have taken or be taking the third.—Properly qualified undergraduate
students are given opportunity to undertake an original investigation
of some problem in chemistry under the direction of a member of the teaching
staff. The student will be expected to devote to his problem a minimum
of nine hours per week throughout the year. (B.A. or B.S. credit,
3 session-hours.)

GEOLOGY

Geology B1: General Geology: Principles of dynamical, structural and
historical geology designed to give a general survey of the forces operating
upon the earth, the phenomena of earthquakes, vulcanism, mountain making,
the form and structure of the earth, and its past history. Three hours of
lectures and six hours of laboratory. Laboratory fee, $3. Two lecture sections.

Six laboratory sections. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 6 session-hours.)

Professor Roberts and Assistants.

Geology B2: Applied Geology: May be taken by first-year students.—This
course is primarily for those who wish to obtain a general knowledge of the
place that geology occupies in our present day civilization, the relation of
geological phenomena and conditions to human activities. The course gives
first a resumé of the geological history of the earth and the present day
physiography. It includes a study of geological environmental factors and
their effect on the industrial development of the different regions of the
United States; a study of water supply; a study of the principal minerals,
methods of mining, cost, distribution, and the part they play in the industrial
development of the world; followed, at the end of the last term, with special
lectures on geology and engineering, geology and industry, etc. No laboratory.
(B.A. or B.S. credit, 3 session-hours.)

Professor Nelson.

Geology B4: Mineralogy: Open to all college students.—First term:
Principles of crystal structure and its relationship to the properties of minerals.
Second and third terms: Descriptive, physical and chemical mineralogy.
Three hours of lecture and six hours of laboratory. Laboratory
fee, $5. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 6 session-hours.)

Assistant Professor Pegau.

Geology B5: Elementary Mineralogy: Lectures and recitations with
laboratory work on the simple rock-forming and leading ore-forming minerals.
One two-hour laboratory period to be arranged. (B.A. or B.S.
credit, 3 session-hours.)

Assistant Professor Pegau.

PHYSICS

Physics B1: General Physics: A knowledge of the elements of plane trigonometry
through the right triangle is prerequisite.—(The course is open to first-year
students who have received this preparation in the high school.) Three
hours of lecture and six hours of laboratory and recitation per week. Laboratory
fee, $15. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 6 session-hours.)

Professor Hoxton, Associate Professor Brown and Assistants.

Physics B2: Physics B1 or its equivalent prerequisite. Calculus is not required.—This
course is designed to give the student a more thorough background for
advanced work in Physics and other sciences. May be withdrawn unless elected by
at least four students. Not more than twelve students will be admitted. Two hours
of lecture and two hours of laboratory per week. Laboratory fee, $7.50. (B.A. or
