RESEARCH AND INSTRUCTION 



It has previously been noted that the number of courses 

 offered primarily for graduate students during 1919-20 was 

 a minimum, due to the fact that relatively few new students 

 were admitted. This also holds true for the work proposed 

 during 1920-21. During the latter year there are being given 

 or are proposed for the second semester the following courses: 

 taxonomy of the bryophytes and pteridophytes, history of bot- 

 any, advanced physiology, seminar, and in addition research 

 work in applied mycology, physiology, and taxonomy.
