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
B1 in the Quarter.

Biology sB1-I. Botany: 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.

Mr. Betts and Mr. Barrett.

Deals with the structure of plants and their vital phenomena. Introduction to the systematic
study of ferns and flowering plants. No text. Biology sB1 and s7 may be substituted
for the second term's work in Biology B1, regular session.

Biology sB1-II. Zoölogy: 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. Hayden and Assistant. Second Term, Mr. Hayden.

Deals with the structure of animals and their vital phenomena. No text-book. Biology
sB1-II and s7 may be substituted for the third term's work in Biology B1, regular session.

Biology sB1-III. Experimental Biology: Both Terms. Lecture 8:30;
Laboratory 9:30 to 11:30; B. L. 12. Credit, when taken with Biology s7, 2
session-hours. Laboratory fee $5.00.

Mr. Betts.

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 premedical
student's work in Courses sB1-I and sB1-II. Biology sB1-III and s7 may be
substituted for the first term's work in Biology B1, 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, or sB1-III.

Mr. Reynolds.

Biology s9. Human Physiology: Both Terms. Lecture 12:30; B. L. 3.
Credit, 1 session-hour.

Mr. MacFall.

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—[7] (1931): 6 session-hours in Biology prerequisite.
Whole Quarter. Lecture 12:30; Laboratory 2:30-4:30; B. L. 3.
Credit, 4 session-hours. Laboratory fee $10.00 for the Quarter. Special fee
$5.00.

Mr. Reynolds and Assistant.

This course deals with the morphology, physiology, and genetics of protozoa. 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.

Biology sC1-II. Helminthology—[7] (1930): 6 session-hours in Biology
prerequisite. Whole Quarter. Lecture 9:30; Laboratory 10:30-12:30; B. L. 3.
Credit, 4 session-hours Laboratory fee $10.00 for the Quarter. Special
fee $5.00.

Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Robeson.

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
the effects produced. Scientific papers will be read and discussed by the students at regular
intervals.

Biology sC1-III. Comparative Anatomy—[8] (1931): 6 session-hours in
Biology prerequisite. Whole Quarter. Lecture 9:30; B. L. 17. Laboratory
10:30-12:30; B. L. 17. Laboratory fee $10.00 for the Quarter. Special fee
$5.00. Credit, 4 session-hours.

Mr. MacFall.

Beginning with the lower forms, this course consists of a comparative study of the
morphology of all the chordates, up to and including the mammals. Work in the laboratory
includes dissection, demonstration and drawings in preparation for weekly quizzes.

Biology sC1-IV. Embryology and Histology—[8] (1930): 6 session-hours
in Biology prerequisite. Whole Quarter. Lecture 9:30; Laboratory 10:3012:30;
B. L. 3. Credit, 4 session-hours. Laboratory fee $10.00 for the Quarter.
Special fee $5.00.

Mr. MacFall.

This course includes a study of the development of the vertebrate embryo, with special
reference to the chick and pig with a close correlation and study of the body tissues and
organs. Work in the laboratory includes a study of the living embryo, prepared specimens,
demonstrations and drawings, in preparation for weekly quizzes.

Biology sC1-V. Plant Morphology: First Term. 6 session-hours in
Biology prerequisite. Lecture 9:30; B. L. 3. Laboratory 10:30-12:30; B. L.
4. Laboratory fee $5.00. Credit, 2 session-hours.

Mr. Lewis.

A detailed morphological study of algae in the widest sense, with special emphasis
on life histories. One hour a week will be devoted to a discussion of papers embodying
recent research in this field.

Biology sC1-VI. Taxonomy of the Seed Plants: 6 session-hours in
Biology prerequisite. Whole Quarter. Hours by appointment. Blandy Experimental
Farm Laboratory. Credit, 2 session-hours. Laboratory fee $10.00 for the
Quarter. Special fee $5.00.

Mr. White.

Systematic study of the seed plants by families. Emphasis placed on their economic
importance. Field trips.

Biology sC12. Research: At least one graduate course in Biology prerequisite.
Whole Quarter. Hours by appointment. B. L. 3. Credit, an entire
C course when paper has been accepted for publication. Laboratory fee $10.00
for the Quarter. Special fee $5.00.

Mr. Reynolds.

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

Note—It is recommended that candidates for the Master's degree, majoring in Biology,
register for two sC courses during their first Summer Quarter. For each of the remaining
two quarters, they should carry one sC course in addition to work on a problem which
will serve as the basis for a thesis.
