The Journal of Heredity 



favorable soil conditions gave rise to 

 crippled plants in the experimental sta- 

 tions, so that here we have apparently 

 an example of the inheritance of ac- 

 quired characters. 



Pines (P. vulgaris) two to six years 

 old, grown from seeds produced by trees 

 which in turn had been grown from 

 seeds collected 30 to 40 vears ago at 



low elevations and planted at high 

 altitudes, were distinct from the normal 

 lowland pines of this species only in the 

 smaller proportion of large individuals. 

 The parent trees had presreved in the 

 new climate the habit of growth of their 

 original habitat and had transmitted 

 it to their progeny. In this case "after 

 effect" had become "hereditv." 



EUGENICS IN THE COLLEGES 



CORNELL UNIVERSITY is organizing a course in Genetics and Eugenics 

 to be given in the early part of 1914 by a number of specialists. 

 There are now 44 colleges giving either a complete course in eugenics 

 or some lectures on it as part of another allied course; 15 in the East, 

 14 in the Middle West, four in the South. Sixteen teach eugenics in their zoology 

 department, 11 in the biology department and 11 in the sociology department. 



The following is a partial list of courses in eugenics (often combined with genetics) 

 given in the colleges of the United States last year.
