E. Investigation 
. Graduate Work for University Credit 
— 
By the terms of a cooperative agreement between New York 
University and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, properly qualified 
graduate students may arrange to carry on investigations in bot- 
any at the Garden under the direction of members of the Garden 
Staff, who are also officers of instruction in the Graduate School 
of the University. The advantages of the library, laboratories, 
ierbarium, and collections of living plants at the Garden are 
ireely at the disposal of students registered at New York Uni- 
versity for such work. Such properly enrolled graduate students 
_— 
are charged no additional fees by the Garden. 
Research work in botany presupposes a knowledge of plants ob- 
tained from a study in field and laboratory. Prerequisites include 
college courses along such lines as morphology, physiology, taxon- 
omy, and genetics. Bacteriology and mycology are special pre- 
requisites for E6. For E8, plant pathology and basic training in 
forestry are also required. 
E6. Research in Mycology and Plant Pathology. Dr. Reed. 
E8. Research in Forest Pathology. Dr. Graves. 
E9. Research in the Systematic Botany of the Flowering 
Plants. Dr. Svenson. 
E10. Research in the Structure of Flowers. Dr. Gundersen. 
2. Independent Investigation 
The facilities of the laboratories, conservatories, library, and 
herbarium are available to qualified investigators who wish to carry 
on independent researches in their chosen field of botany. By 
“qualified investigators” is meant those who have obtained the 
doctor’s degree or have completed most of the requirements for 
the doctorate. The laboratories are open for such use only during 
the hours when the Laboratory Building is regularly open, viz. 
9 a.m.—5 p.m. Mondays to Fridays; 9-12 a.m. Saturdays; except 
on holidays, when the building is closed. There is a charge of 
$25 per year, payable to the Botanic Garden.
