the courses in Entomology and Ornithology. Among the 

 changes to be noted in the curriculum is the increased attention 

 which can be given to botany because of the presence of an 

 additional botanist on the staff. Prof. Schaffner will have- 

 charge of Plant Ecology and Advanced Plant Morphology. Prof. 

 Fullmer, of Bald win- Walace, will direct the work in Systematic 

 Botany and special work on the Algae of the Cedar Point region. 

 Dr. Krecker will enlarge the scope of the work offered in 

 Aquatic Zoology which is presented from the ecological stand- 

 point. Prof. Williams, of Miami University, will conduct the 

 Advanced Invertebrate Morphology and the Vertebrate Anat- 

 omy. 



In all the courses a special point is made of giving students 

 as much contact with field conditions as possible. The Cedar 

 Point region is fortunate in being one of the few inland points 

 offering a wide range of conditions. The outdoor side of 

 biological subjects is so important and is so slightly accessible 

 to students during the winter that opportunities such as those 

 offered at the Lake Laboratory are invaluable. It should be 

 mentioned in this connection that the work done at the Lab- 

 oratory is accepted for credit in most institutions. The facil- 

 ities of the Laboratory are offered to both students and inde- 

 pendent investigators and either Director Osborn or Acting 

 Director Krecker will be glad to give information regarding 

 necessary arrangements to any who may be interested. And of 

 course early inquiries will be of advantage to everyone concerned.
