Mr. Zirkle.

The work of the School is planned to illustrate the fundamental laws
underlying the phenomena of life. The undergraduate work is designed to
meet the needs of three classes of students: first, of those who desire a knowledge
of biological phenomena and principles as a proper part of a liberal education;
second, of those who are looking forward to positions as teachers; and
third, of those seeking a broad foundation for subsequent work in agriculture
or in medicine.

A laboratory fee of $5 is charged for each course.

Any course may be withdrawn unless elected by at least four students.
