a firmer foundation of precision and method in elementary — 
work as a stepping stone to advanced and professional 
courses, without detracting from its interest or suitableness — 
as part of a liberal education for those who may elect it for 
this purpose only. At the beginning of the present college 
year Mr. P. L. Gainey assumed the duties of Teaching Fel-

Learn. 
Undergraduate enrollment for the first term of 1910-11 
is: Botany 1, thirty; Botany 3, nine; Botany 6, five; Botany 
9, five; Botany 10, two; Botany 11, two; Botany 17, four; 
Botany 19, four; special work in histology, three:—a total 
of 64 students, each taking one full course in botany. 
GRADUATE INSTRUCTION AND RESEARCH.

establishment of three additional research fellowships, and 
in memory of the lamented president of the board for two

land Research Fellowships. At the last commencement of 
Washington University, the Master’s degree, in botany, was 
conferred on Miss Ada Hayden and Mr. E. G. Arzberger,— 
the holders of fellowships last year—whose theses have been 
published in the last Garden Report.1® The holders of the 
fellowships for the present college year are Miss Caroline
