III. Biology and Agriculture.
Associate Professor Kepner.
Dr. Maneval.
Mr. Taliaferro.
The relations of the biological sciences to Agriculture are so manifold
and the subdivisions of the latter subject so numerous, that it would be
impossible to exhaust the discussion of either in the work of any one year.
Courses consisting in part of lectures and in part of an equivalent amount
of practical work and collateral reading, will be offered yearly as follows:
Botany and Agriculture B1: Botany B1 prerequisite.—The anatomy
and 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.
Associate Professor Kepner.
Zoölogy and Agriculture B2: Zoölogy 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.
Associate Professor Kepner.
Candidates for a diploma of graduation in Biology and Agriculture
are required to complete one C course in Botany and one in Zoölogy, and
also the two courses above described.
