A laboratory fee of $10 is charged for each laboratory course.
Any course may be withdrawn unless elected by at least four students.
I. Biology.
Biology C1: 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. Professor Lewis.
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.
Zoölogy C1: Biology B1 prerequisite.—Experimental zoölogy. A comparative
study of the morphology and behavior of typical invertebrates.—Three
lectures and three two-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.
The Biological Laboratory, completed in 1920, is adequate in size and
arrangements for housing comfortably all classes in Biology. The building is
provided freely with electricity, gas, and water. The equipment consists of
sterilizers, and other apparatus required for general and advanced work.
The departmental library contains a good working collection of biological
texts and books of reference, as well as files of the more important journals.
