BIOLOGY

The courses in biology have been organized with two ends in view:

First, to give teachers adequate training to carry courses in botany,
zöology and biology in their public school work and to give
them instruction that will supplement their work in physiology, hygiene
and agriculture.

Second, to enable premedical students to fulfill the medical entrance
requirements as prescribed by the American Medical Association
in June, 1913. It is to be noted here all premedical students
are required to take course 3 with their course in either Botany or
Zoölogy.

1. Botany.—This course is outlined primarily to give the student
a knowledge of how plants live, grow and propagate themselves, and
of their structure. An introduction to the systematic study and naming
of ferns and flowering plants will be included in this course.
The teacher completing this work will be prepared to place an introductory
course of botany in his or her high school curriculum.
This work will also supplement, in a helpful manner, his or her work
in drawing, geography and physiology. No text-book required. Laboratory
fee for teachers $1.00, for premedical students and for those
seeking University credit $10.00, which fee includes the registration
fee.

Daily, 8:30 to 9:30; Laboratory 9:30 to 11:30; Laboratory for premedical
students and University credit students 11:30 to 12:30. Professor
Kepner and Mr. Taliaferro. Cabell Hall, Room 12.

2. Zoology.—This course is outlined primarily to give the student
a knowledge of how animals live, grow and propagate themselves,
and of their structure. The teacher completing this work will be
prepared to place an introductory course of Zoölogy in his or her
high school curriculum. This work will also supplement, in a helpful
manner, his or her work in drawing, geography and physiology.
No text-book will be required. Laboratory fee for teachers $1.00,
for premedical students and for those seeking University credit
$10.00, which fee includes the registration fee.

Daily, 2:30 to 3:30; Laboratory, 3:30 to 5:30. Professor Kepner
and Mr. Taliaferro. Cabell Hall, Room 12.

3. Experimental Biology.—This course consists of a series of laboratory
experiments, on plants and animals, supplemented with a
limited number of explanatory lectures. Its object, on one hand, is
to give teachers of both Botany and Zoölogy a series of experiments
that they can use as demonstrations in their class work. On the
other hand it supplements the premedical students' work in either
Botany or Zoölogy by giving them some idea of experimental Biology.
No text-book or laboratory fee required.

Daily, 11:30 to 12:30. Professor Kepner and Mr. Taliaferro. Cabell
Hall, Room 12.
