MILLER SCHOOL OF BIOLOGY.
A laboratory fee of $5 is charged for each course.
Any course may be withdrawn unless elected by at least four students.
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
things.—(B.A. or B.S. credit, 6 session-hours.) Professor Lewis, Professor
Kepner, Mr. Franke, Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Zirkle.
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: Agricultural 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 B5: Evolution and Heredity: Biology B1 prerequisite.—First
term: Evolution, the theory and its history. Second term: The principles
of heredity and their application to social questions. Third term: The biological
aspects of human problems. Lectures only.—(B.A. or B.S. credit,
3 session-hours.) Professor Lewis, Professor Kepner.
II. Botany.
Botany C1: Biology B1 prerequisite.—The evolution of plants based on
a morphological study of a series of types, which will represent the more
important families of algae, fungi, liverworts, mosses, ferns and seed
plants. The principles of classification are considered and illustrated.—One
hour a week will be devoted to a study of periodical literature. Professor
Lewis.
Botany D1.—Advanced work along some of the lines indicated above.
The work will be varied to suit the needs of the students applying for the
course.—Hours by appointment. Professor Lewis.
III. Zoölogy.
Zöology B1: Biology B1 prerequisite.—First term: General embryology.
Second and third terms: Comparative anatomy of typical vertebrates.
The course will afford training in histological and embryological
technique and in mammalian dissection.—(B.A. or B.S. credit, 6 session-hours.)
Professor Kepner.
Zoölogy C1: Biology B1 prerequisite.—Experimental zoölogy. A comparative
study of the morphology and behavior of typical invertebrates.—
Two lectures and two three-hour laboratory periods weekly. Abstracting
of periodical literature one hour each week. Professor Kepner.
Zoölogy D1.—Principles of animal histology. Protoplasm, cell organization,
and tissue formation. The student is required to become familiar
with the principles of histological technique and to make his own preparations.—Two
lectures and two three-hour laboratory periods a week. Also
a weekly meeting of one hour for a discussion with the instructor of current
literature and of the problems arising out of the students' work.
Hours by appointment. Professor Kepner.
Further advanced work may be arranged to meet the needs of students.
