SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS. 



Closely connected with the work of instruction in the class-room 

 and laboratory is the work of investigation and research. This is being 

 done by both professors and students in the various departments. Pu- 

 pils are especially encouraged in this kind of work, as it is believed 

 that in no other way can the powers of independent thought be so well 

 developed in the student. The results obtained are of value also to 

 science at large and the means for publication at present offered are the 

 Bulletin of the Scientific Laboraties of Denison University and the 

 Journal of Comparative Neurology. 



The Bulletin, as already stated, was founded by Professor C. L. 

 Herrick and the first volume appeared in December, 1885. After the 

 organization of the Denison Scientific Association in 1887, Professor 

 Herrick made the Bulletin the official organ of the Association, but he 

 continued as its editor until 1889. Since that time it has been edited 

 by Professor Tight. The work of the Bulletin can best be shown by 

 the list of articles which have appeared in it, which is given by vol- 

 umes in the following tables of contents :
