METEOROLOGY 



I. Meteorology and Climatology. Lectures and weather observations. 

 Designed to acquaint the student with the general circulation of the atmos- 

 phere; development, movement, and conditions that attend cyclones, tor- 

 nadoes, and special storms; practical weather forecasting from weather maps 

 and local observations; the use of meteorological instruments; general and 

 special climatology and its relation to agriculture. 



PLANT-BREEDING 



1. General Plant-Breeding. A study of the elements of plant-breeding, 

 including variation, selection, and hybridization. The laboratory exercises 

 are designed to give practice in measuring variation, making hybrids, and 

 planning plant-breeding schemes adaptable to farm practice. 



2. Plant-Breeding. This course will undertake a careful consideration of 

 the principles and practice of plant-breeding with reference to variation, 

 selection, and hybridization as factors in the amelioration of cultivated plants. 

 Special consideration will be given to the methods and results of present-day 

 plant-breeders. 



3. Plant-Breeding. A continuation of course 2. 



4. Biometry. A discussion of statistical methods as applied to problems 

 in biology and practical breeding. The course is designed primarily to de- 

 velop methods which may be used by graduate students in conducting their 

 investigations. 



5. Research. This course affords the student an opportunity to study a 

 plant-breeding problem which will give him practice in bibliographical and 

 research methods. 



6. Research. Problems in plant-breeding, heredity, and general evolution. 



7. General Seminary. A seminary for the discussion of the fundamental 

 problems of plant-breeding, heredity, and general evolution, of methods of 

 plant-breeding, and of plant-breeding literature. 



8. Advanced Seminary. A seminary for the discussion of the fundamental 

 problems of variation, heredity, and evolution. 



PLANT PATHOLOGY 



1. Plant Pathology. A fundamental course treating of the common 

 diseases of cultivated plants, their nature, cause, and control. A prerequisite 

 for all other courses in plant pathology. 



2. Principles of the Control of Plant Diseases. A consideration of methods 

 for the control of plant diseases, including sanitation, seed treatment, seed 

 selection, spraying, tree surgery immunization, preservation of timber, etc. 



3. Laboratory Methods in Plant Pathology. Required of all students 

 taking advanced work. 



4. Etiology of Plant Diseases. Designed especially for students who wish 

 to specialize in plant pathology. The taxonomy and phylogeny of organisms 

 producing diseases in plants. 



6. Diseases of Fruit and Fruit Trees. Designed especially for students 

 who expect to become practical fruit-growers.
