BIOLOGY

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

Pre-medical students must take Courses sB1-I, sB1-II, and S7 or Lecture
of sB1-III, in order to meet their full entrance requirements. Courses
sB1-I, sB1-II, sB1-III and S7 are equivalent to three terms work of Biology
B1, regular session.

Note.—Students are advised to complete the entire three terms of Biology B 1 in
the quarter.

Biology sB1-I. Botany.—Both Terms. Lecture 8:30; Laboratory 9:30
to 11:30; B. L. 3. Credit when taken with Biology S7, 2 session
hours. Laboratory fee $5.00 First Term, Mr. Kepner, and Mr.
Betts. Second Term, Mr. Speidel, and Mr. Betts.

Deals with the structure of plants and their vital phenomena. Introduction to the
systematic study of ferns and flowering plants. No text. Biology sB1-I and S 7
are equivalent to one term's work in Biology B 1 regular session.

Biology sB1-II. Zoölogy.—Both Terms. Lecture 2:30; Laboratory 3:30
to 5:30; B.L. 3. Credit, when taken with Biology S7, 2 session hours.
Laboratory fee $5.00. First Term, Mr. Kepner and Mr. Looper.
Second Term, Mr. Speidel, and Mr. Looper.

Deals with the structure of animals and their vital phenomena. No text-book. Biology
sB1-II and S 7 are equivalent to one term's work in Biology B 1 regular session.

Biology sB1-III. Experimental Biology.—Both Terms. Lecture 10:30;
Laboratory 8:30-10:30; B.L. 3. Credit when taken with Biology S7,
2 session hours. Laboratory fee $5.00. Mr. Hopkins, Mr. Betts and
Mr. Looper.

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 sB1-I and sB1-II. Biology sB1-III and S 7,
equivalent to one term's work in Biology B 1, regular session.

Biology S7. Biological Seminar.—Both Terms, 11:30; B.L. 3. Fee $5.00
for those not registered in sB1-I, sB1-II, sB1-III, or sB-I. First Term,
Mr. Kepner and Mr. Hopkins. Second Term, Mr. Speidel and Mr.
Hopkins.

Biology sB3-I. 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 S7.

Biology S9. Human Physiology.—Both Terms. Lecture 12:30 B.L. 3
Credit, one session hour. Mr. Hopkins.

The fundamentals of Human Physiology will be dealt with and the practical and
pedagogical aspects of the subject will be considered. The lectures will be supplemented
by demonstrations, reference work and text-book assignments.

Biology sC1-I. Protozoölogy—*(1927) Whole Quarter. Lecture 9:30;
Laboratory 10:30-12:30; B.L. 3. Credit, one-half C-course. Laboratory
fee $10.00. Special fee $5.00. Mr. Reynolds.

This course deals with the morphology, physiology, and genetics of protozos. The
free-living forms will be studied first and then their relatives which have developed
a parasitic mode of existence. In discussing the latter their life-histories, methods
of getting from one host to another and the effects produced will be dwelt upon. At
least one hour per week will be devoted to a discussion of scientific papers. Human
Protozoology by Hegner and Taliaferro will be used as a guide.

Biology sC1-II. Helminthology.—*(1926) Whole Quarter. Lecture 9:30;
Laboratory 10:30-12:30; B.L. 3. Credit, one-half C-course. Laboratory
fee $10.00. Special fee $5.00. Mr. Reynolds.

Some time will be devoted to the study of free-living helminths but most of the
work will be concerned with forms parasitic on man and the lower vertebrates.
The worms will be divided into flukes, tape-worms and thread-worms and discussed
in the order named. Special emphasis will be placed on their methods of getting
from one host to another and effects produced. Scientific papers will be read and
discussed by the students at regular intervals.

*Note.—These courses alternate with each other, Protozoology being given during
odd years and Helminthology during even years.

Biology sC12. 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.
