BIOLOGY.

These courses have been so constructed as to meet the needs of
teachers who are working in secondary schools, and to enable premedical
students to fulfill the medical entrance requirements as prescribed
by the American Medical Association, and for credit toward
undergraduate and graduate degrees.

Pre-medical students must take Courses 4, 5, and 7 or lecture of 6
in order to meet their full entrance requirements. These three full
courses are equivalent to three terms' work of Biology B1, regular
session.

Note.—Students are advised to complete the entire three terms of Biology B1 in
the quarter.

Biology 4. Botany.—Both Terms. Lecture 8:30; Laboratory 9:30 to
11:30; B. L. 3. Credit when taken with Biology 7, 2 session-hours.
Laboratory fee, $5.00. First Term, Mr. Kepner, Mr. Zirkle, and
Mr. Hopkins. Second Term, Mr. Speidel, Mr. Zirkle, and Mr.
Hopkins.

Deals with the structure of plants and their vital phenomena. Introduction to the
systematic study of ferns and flowering plants. No text. Biology 4 and 7 are equivalent
to one term's work in Biology B1 regular session.

Biology 5. Zoölogy.—Both Terms. Lecture 2:30; Laboratory 3:30
to 5:30; B. L. 3. Credit, when taken with Biology 7, 2 session-hours.
Laboratory fee $5.00. First Term, Mr. Kepner, Mr. Zirkle
and Mr. Hopkins. Second Term, Mr. Speidel, Mr. Zirkle, and
Mr. Hopkins.

Deals with the structure of animals and their vital phenomena. No text-book.
Biology 5 and 7 are equivalent to one term's work in Biology B1 regular session.

Biology 6. Experimental Biology.—Both Terms. Lecture 10:30;
Laboratory 8:30-10:30; B. L. 3. Laboratory fee $5.00. Mr.
Zirkle.

A presentation of experimental work on the physiology of plants and animals.
The work of this course will be suggestive and helpful to teachers and supplements
the pre-medical student's work in Courses 4 and 5. Biology 6 and 7, equivalent to
one term's work in Biology B1, regular session.

Biology 7. Biological Seminar.—Both Terms. 11:30; B. L. 3.
Fee $5.00 for those not registered in 4, 5, 6, or 8. First Term,
Mr. Kepner and Mr. Zirkle. Second Term, Mr. Speidel and
Mr. Zirkle.

Biology 8. Vertebrate Anatomy.—Second Term. Lecture 11:30;
Laboratory 8:30-10:30. B. L. 17. Laboratory fee $5.00. Mr.
Speidel. Credit, two session-hours with Biology 7.

Biology 9. Human Biology.—Both Terms. First Term—Mr. Kepner.
Second Term—Mr. Speidel.

Course based upon Peabody and Hunt's Elementary Biology, the text-book that the
State Department will require to be taught in all rural and small town high schools.
Demonstrations and text-book work. This course has no credit value unless taken
with Biology 4 or 5. Students taking this course will do the laboratory work with
Biology 6 and in addition take assigned reading from the text.

Biology 10 (c). Protozoölogy.—Whole Quarter. Lecture 8:30;
Laboratory 9:30-11:30; B. L. 3. Credit, one-half C-course.
Laboratory fee $10.00. Special fee $5.00. Mr. Reynolds.

Six session-hours in Biology prerequisite.

In this course the free-living protozoa are dealt with from systematic, genetic, and
physiologic viewpoints. No text will be used but frequent reference will be made
to books and original papers.

Biology 11 (c). Medical Protozoölogy.—Whole Quarter. Lecture
2:30; Laboratory 3:30-5:30; B. L. 3. Credit, one-half C-course.
Laboratory fee $10.00. Special fee $5.00. Mr. Reynolds.

Six session-hours in Biology prerequisite.

This course deals with the protozoa parasitic on animals, especially man. Life-histories,

methods of transmission and effects on hosts will be emphasized. Text to
be announced (probably "Medical Protozoölogy"—by Hegner and Taliaferro—not off
of the press).

Biology 12 (c). Research.—Whole Quarter. Hours by appointment.
B. L. 3; Credit, an entire C-course when paper has been
accepted for publication. Laboratory fee $10.00. Special fee
$5.00. Mr. Reynolds.

Six session-hours in Biology prerequisite.

Each student will be assigned a problem and required to turn out some work for
publication.

Note.—But one C-course may be taken during a Quarter.
