I. METHOD OF EXAMINATION IN ZOOLOGY FOR ADMISSION 

 TO THE LAWRENCE SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL, HARVARD 

 UNIVERSITY. 



The candidate is required to pass both a written and a laboratory 

 examination. The written examination will test the range and thor 

 oughness of his knowledge of the subject. The laboratory examina- 

 tion will test his skill in observation and experimentation, and his 

 ability to apply names properly to the parts of the organisms studied. 



At the time of the written examination the candidate must present 

 the original note-book containing (with dates) the notes and drawings 

 he has made in the course of his laboratory work, and bearing the 

 endorsement of his teacher, certifying that the book is a true record 

 of the pupil's own observations and experiments. An index of sub- 

 jects should be appended. 



II. METHOD OF EXAMINATION IN GENERAL BIOLOGY (ZOOLOGY 

 AND BOTANY) FOR ADMISSION TO THE JUNIOR COLLEGES, 

 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. 



The candidate applying for admission credit in General Biology 

 will be required : (a) To submit to the examiner a note-book consist- 

 ing of drawings and descriptions of the animals and plants studied. It 

 is recommended that studies of at least fifteen principal forms be 

 undertaken, that these studies be largely such as do not demand the 

 use of a compound microscope, and that attention be given chiefly to 

 those organisms that can be studied in a living condition ; (b) to de- 

 monstrate, in the college laboratory, under the supervision of college 

 officers, that he possesses some power to observe accurately and intelli- 

 gently. More stress will be laid on correct observation and on the 

 careful record thereof, than upon technical terms ; (c) to answer in 

 writing a few general questions about familiar animals and plants, 

 such as the perch, crayfish, grasshopper, moss, fern, some common 

 type of flowering plant, etc.
