III. General Biology.
Associate Professor Kepner.
Mr. Taliaferro.
Mr. Cash.
Mr. Williams.
Primarily for Graduates.
Students taking a graduate course in Comparative Anatomy are
required to pay, in addition to the regular tuition fee, a laboratory
fee of $20.
Biology D1: Cytology and Comparative Histology: Botany B1,
Zoölogy B1, and one of the advanced courses in Plant or Animal Morphology
prerequisite. This course begins with a study of the phenomena
of cell-organization and cell life in both plants and animals;
this is followed by a comparative study of the elements of structure
and their embryological development in the lower and the higher animals,
or in a similar series of plant forms; the work of each student is
individually assigned in great measure. It includes practice in the
more advanced methods of technic, and a critical discussion of the
microscope and its intelligent use, as means to the ends in view.
It is accompanied by the consideration of the fundamental laws
of General Biology as founded upon cytological study. Hours by
assignment; the number is not limited.
Opportunity will be afforded to individual students for further
advanced work chiefly along the lines of this course.
A biological seminar will be conducted weekly at an hour that
will be assigned at the beginning of the session, participation in
which is required of all students in courses above Botany B1 and
Zoölogy B1.
