68 THE MICROSCOPE. 



or animal histology that the subject has been pursued to all the 

 length required by the university courses, or at least to such length 

 that good economy requires the completion of the study in the 

 school of microscopy. 



" Now, in this view, the school of microscopy would provide all 

 the instruction needed in human histology, comparative histology 

 and vegetable histology. 



" Next, it is ascertained that the same school could similarly fur- 

 nish nearly all the instruction needed in the college of dentistry and 

 in pathological anatomy. 



"Your committee are therefore prepared to recommend as the 

 most practicable, efficient and economical expedient, in the present 

 condition of microscopical work, the organization of a central 

 laboratory for microscopy and general histology. 



"Instruction should be given in this laboratory in the following 

 subjects: 

 I. Microscopical technics, or the science and art of microscopy, comprising: 



(a) The theory and construction of the instrument and its various ac- 



cessories; 



(b) The methods of determining magnifications; 



(c) The methods of microscopic drawing, microscopic photography, and 



microscopic projections; 



(d) The preparation of objects of various classes. 

 Human Histology. 



Comparative Histology. • 



Vegetable Histologj . 

 Dental Histology. 

 Pathological Anatomy. 

 Completion of microscopic study in such other subjects as may be desired 



by professors in charge." 



[The above showing is sufficient proof, it seems to me, that the 

 University of Michigan offers far greater advantages, for general 

 microscopical work, than any other institution of learning in this 

 country. — Ed.] 



"Your April number is simply elegant." 



"I have never seen a finer number of any microscopical journal 

 How do you afford it for a dollar?" 



"I regard your journal invaluable to every investigator and 

 student in research with the microscope."
