UNIVERSITY CREDITS. 



Students from the University may pursue study at the Station and 

 receive credit for such worlv as may be equivalent to University courses. 

 Students taking elementary study may receive preparatory credits. 



METHODS OF INSTRUCTION. 



The work will consist very largely of field collecting and observation, 

 study of relation to environment, supplemented by laboratory dissections 

 and miscroscopic examination. The general courses will enable teachers 

 to familiarize themselves with methods of field work, and give a store 

 of information from which to draw in nature study subjects. The 

 general courses also give opportunity to students and others to pursue 

 lines of study with better facilities for out door work with fresh material, 

 than is generally to be had in regular university work. 



The expeditions are primarily to give opportunity for the study of 

 animals and plants in their natural environment. By this means more 

 lasting interest is aroused, and more accurate information is obtained. 



LECTURES. 



Almost every day a lecture on some biological topic will be given 

 at the laboratory. Some of the lectures given in 1902 have been 

 incorporated in Bulletin University of Montana, Biological Series No. 5. 

 Thirteen lectures, covering 90 pages, with 5 plates and 27 figures, are 

 included. 



The following lectures will be given during the coming session: 



Instinct and Intelligence in Animals. 



The Debt of Science to Lewis and Clark, with Stereopticon. 



The Forests of Flathead Valley. 



The Geology and Natural History of Flathead Lake. 



Montana's Agricultural Water Supply, with Stereopticon. 



Studies in Alpine Life, with Stereopticon. 



The Mosquito Problem. 



The Place of Field Work in Scientific Study. 



The Mission Mountains, with Stereopticon. 



Evolution of Plant Forms, with Stereopticon. 



Evolution of Plant Reproduction, with Stereopticon. 



Elementary Forestry. 



Plant Societies of the Northwest. 



The Coniferae. 



Seed Dispersal. 



The Ancient History of America. 



Nature study for the Grades. 



Nature Reproduced in Art. 



EXCURSIONS. 



The following excursions will be taken during the session of 1905, 

 unless the weather is unfavorable: . 



1 A trip to Swan Lake, through the forests, with stop over night 

 at the lake. This is a beautiful lake in the mountains, of great interest 

 biologically and geologically. 



2 A trip to Rost Lake, at the base of the Kootenay Mountains. This 

 is a lake almost filled up, a fine collecting field. It is an admirable 



location for camps. . . ., ^ ,*w. i^ 



3 An ascent of MacDougal Peak via an Indian trail, to an altitude 

 of 7 725 feet. This will afford opportunity for alpine collecting, and will 

 present some of the most sublime scenery in the world. 



4. A trip around Flathead Lake, making study of its banks, bays, 

 and swamps.
