Courses in Forestry 



Chemistry. After a year's work in general inorganic chem- 

 istry, requiring attendance upon lectures, recitations, and labora- 

 tory exercises, the student enters upon a systematic course of 

 qualitative analysis. 



Mineralogy and Geology. The instruction in these subjects 

 is designed to acquaint the student with the most characteristic 

 properties of common rocks and minerals, and with some of the 

 most prominent features of the geological structure of the earth's 

 crust. - 



General Biology. A study of typical species of plants and 

 animals with reference to structure, function, development, and 

 relationship, designed as introductory to the more advanced 

 work in botany and zoology. 



Botany. General morphology and physiology, involving a 

 study of the structure of the cell and tissue, of organography, 

 cell-theory, mitosis, heredity as well as of laboratory technique. 



Zoology (a) Invertebrate Zoology. The structure, classifi- 

 cation, distribution, and activities of invertebrate animals. 



The laboratory work consists in (i) the dissection of one or 

 more type-forms of each of the groups studied; (2) a study 

 when possible of the instincts of one or more members of each 

 group. The laboratory work is supplemented by occasional field 

 excursions for the study of animals in their natural habitats, and 

 for collecting. 



(b) Vertebrate Zoology. The structure, classification, dis- 

 tribution, and habits of vertebrate animals. Lectures with prac- 

 tical work in field and laboratory. The field work will be defi- 

 nitely planned and regularly carried out, and will include obser- 

 vations of the habits of the native fishes, amphibia, reptiles, birds, 

 and mammals, and the collection of specimens to be kept living 

 or to be preserved.
