should be taken; for professional work in plant pathology, 

 Courses 4, 7, 8, 10, 13, some research in pathology under Courses 

 17 and 18, or 19 and 20, and Courses 21 and 22; for professional 

 work in forestry, the student should lay a foundation with 

 Courses 4, 7, 8, 10, 13 and 14. 



Graduate students are not confined to courses, but they will 

 often find the elementary work in general biology and in other 

 courses of value.

I. COURSES PRIMARILY FOR UNDERGRADUATES. 



GENERAL BIOLOGY. 



The courses in general biology are carried on by cooperation 

 between the departments of Botany and Zoology. These courses 

 are introductory and are required as a preparation for all subse- 

 quent work in these departments. 



FIRST SEMESTER. 



1. Elements of Biology. A study of typical species of plants 



and animals with reference to structure, function, devel- 

 opment, and relationship. Four hours. Assistant Pro- 

 fessor JENNINGS and Dr. POLLOCK. Work in the botan- 

 ical and zoological laboratories. Hours to be arranged. 



The botanical part of this course consists of a study of a 

 number of the simpler forms of plant life, chiefly algae 

 and fungi, the course serving as an introduction to the 

 more advanced work in Cytology, Morphology, Physiol- 

 ogy and Ecology. 



In connection with this course use will be made of Camp- 

 bell, University Text-Book of Botany, and the literature 

 therein cited; Klebs, Fortpflanzungsphysiologie der nied- 

 eren Organismen; De Bary, Fungi, Mycetozoa, and 

 Bacteria; Strasburger, Noll, Schenck and Schimper, 

 Text-Book of Botany; and Vines, Student's Text-Book 

 of Botany. 



SECOND SEMESTER. 



2. Elements of Biology. Continuation of Course i. Four 



hours. Dr. HOLMES and Dr. POLLOCK.
