7. The Imperial Agricultural Bacteriologist. 



8. The Second Imperial Entomologist. 



3. COURSE. — The ordinary College course extends over two years, 

 and the students will be trained in one or other of the following sections 

 of agricultural science, no students being trained in more than one sec- 

 tion at a tune : — 



1. Agricultural Chemistry, 



2. Economic Botany. 



3. Economic Entomology.* 



4. Mycology. 



5. Agricultural Bacteriology .f 



6. Agriculture. 



4. SYLLABUS. — In the absence of experience of the class of 

 student likely to be received, it is impossible to lay down a permanent 

 syllabus of the training in each subject. The syllabus that follows is 

 tentative and is subject to the condition that time will not be wasted in 

 taking students over ground that is already familiar to them. 



I. —Agricultural Chemistry. 



(Two years' course.) 



(i) A course of lectures and laboratory practice of the same type as 

 laid down in the Standard Curriculum for Provincial Colleges. 



(ii) A course or courses of lectures in advanced chemistry which shall 

 follow such lines as have an important bearing on agricultural science. 

 Each student will then take up a particular line of investigation suggested 

 to him by the lecturer. At the end of the course each student will write 

 an essay embodying the whole of his work, and the results positive or 

 negative he can deduce therefrom. 



II. — Botany. 



(Ta/o years' course.) 



{First year.) 



{i) Physiology of Plants.- — The course will be mainly practical and 

 will be based on Darwin and Acton's Physiology of Plants (Cambridge 

 University Press). 



* The entomological course will be for one year only. 



t As the appointment of Imperial Agricultural Bacteriologist is now vacant, instruction 

 cannot be provided at present in Agricultural Bacteriology.
