DIRECTIONS FOR LABORATORY WORK 

 I. General Conduct 



1. Work in the laboratory begins promptly on the hour. 

 Attendance is recorded at the stroke of the bell. Late comers 

 are reported absent, A student with a valid excuse for lateness 

 should offer it to the instructor in charge of his section, 



2. Remember that other people are working near you. Be 

 careful to make as little disturbance of any sort as is absolutely 

 necessary. 



3. All work must be done independently, both in the field 

 and in the laboratory. This applies to notes and drawings 

 equally. Any work copied from any source other than your own 

 direct observations will he rejected. 



4. All ivork must he done in the laboratory. Under no 

 condition will permission be granted to finish or make up work 

 outside the laboratory, 



5. The note book bearing name, section and desk number 

 on the inside of the front cover is to be left gn the table at 

 the end of each laboratory period, 



6. In connection with the foregoing rule no notes may be 

 removed from the laboratory until they have received a final 

 grade except in rare cases under special arrangements with the 

 instructor in charge, 



7. Learn to work independently. When you have a ques- 

 tion, the answer to which is not directly available from the study 

 of your specimen, read ahead several sentences in the outline be- 

 fore asking for information. Look in the Glossary before asking 

 for the meaning of any term. 



8. In getting material from the preparation table, always 

 ask an Assistant for it. Very often the cultures and material 

 are of such nature that great care must be exercised to prevent 

 destruction.
