E. Investigation 



1. 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 independent investiga- 

 tions in botany at the Garden under the direction of members of 

 the Garden Staff, who are also officers of instruction in the Grad- 

 uate School of the University. The advantages of the library, 

 laboratories, herbarium, and collections of living plants at the 

 Garden are freely at the disposal of students registered at New 

 York University 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.
