I. Biology and Agriculture.

Biology B1: General Biology.—An elementary study of living 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.—(B.A. or B.S. credit, 6 session-hours.) Tues., Thurs., Sat., 11-12.
Laboratory, 6 hours a week. Professor Lewis, Professor Kepner and assistants.

Biology B2: Agricultural Botany: Biology B1 prerequisite.—The 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. Hours to
be arranged. Professor Lewis.

Biology B3: Agriculture Zoölogy: Biology 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.—Hours
to be arranged. Professor Kepner.

Biology B4: Applied Biology: Biology B1 prerequisite.—Bacteria in
foods and drinking water; the principles on which is based our present
practice in sanitation; bacteria in soils and the part they play in sewage
disposal and agriculture; animals that are liable to affect individual and
community welfare such as the housefly, the mosquito, the hookworm
and other parasites.—(B.A. or B.S. credit, 3 session-hours.) One lecture
