In Zoology the preparation required is such as is usually afforded 

 in high and preparatory schools, including an elementary course in 

 Physiology and Hygiene, and, for scientific students, a second term in 

 Human Anatomy and Physiology, and a term's work in Botany. 



In the Sophomore year the winter term is devoted to Vertebrate 

 Zoology, the work consisting of lectures and recitations on the structure 

 and classification of vertebrates supplemented by demonstrations and 

 dissections in the laboratory. The course is intended as a general in- 

 troduction to the following courses in Zoology and Paleontology. Class- 

 ical students use Martin's " Human Body" during the corresponding 

 term. In the spring term scientific students take up the practical study 

 of the invertebrates, the laboratory course being accompanied by lec- 

 tures on classification and the more fundamental biological problems. 



The biological section of the scientific Juniors devotes the fall term 

 to the Comparative Anatomy and Histology of vertebrates, especial at- 

 tention being paid to the cultivation of the most recent methods in the 

 microscopical examination of tissues. The course in Neurology offered 

 to the Juniors in the winter term aims not only to impart a thorough 

 knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system, but 

 to develop some of the practical hygienic and pedagogical apphcations. 

 The student is assisted in the independent use of literature and intro- 

 duced to the methods of biological research as applied to the morpho- 

 logical and practical problems of Neurology. In the spring term the 

 same students take up Elementary Embryology, especial attention be- 

 ing given to problems of histogenesis and the functions of the cell in 

 health and disease. 



In the winter term of the Senior year, a course in Physiological 

 Psychology is required of biological scientific students and is elective 

 for others. Students expecting to take this course are strongly advised 

 to take the Junior Neurology. After a course of lectures outlining the 

 field, much of the time is devoted to a laboratory study of special top- 

 ics, such as sensation, perception, attention, choice, the expression of 

 emotion, etc. Kymograph, chronoscope and other necessary apparatus 

 are supplied and well equipped machine shops give opportunity for the 

 construction of additional pieces. 



The courses in Biology are designed to bring the student face to 

 face with nature and to encourage independence and originality of
