Botany. 



102. Field and Forest Botany. — The work of this course is 

 designed to acquaint the students with the structure and habits of 

 the principal groups of plants as illustrated by representatives col- 

 lected in the field by the students themselves. The student becomes 

 familiar with the names and habits of the commoner species. The 

 work consists principally of field trips which are supplemented by 

 laboratory exercises and lectures. The class studies the trees, the 

 shrubs, the aquatics, the ferns, the insectivorous plants, the orchids 

 and some of the herbaceous plants of the region and the effects of 

 external factors, such as soil, water, and light upon the vegetation. 

 The adaptation of plants to winter conditions, the cross pollination 

 of flowers by insects, the metamorphosis of plant organs, the dissem- 

 ination of seeds and other similar subjects are demonstrated. In 

 connection with this course opportunity will be afforded college 

 and high school teachers of botany to collect material for use in 

 their classes. Instruction in the preservation of such material will be 

 given to students desiring it. 



Tuesday and Thursday. Four hours credit. Dr. Holm an. 



No prerequisite. 



This course does not give credit to graduate students. It is 

 accepted at the University in lieu of Botany I and 2 as a prerequisite 

 to advanced courses in botany. 



104. Systematic Botany. — The chief aim of this course is to 

 acquaint the student with the flora about the Station and to give 

 him facility in the identification of plants by the Manual. About 

 one hundred species of plants are identified in the field, the char- 

 acteristics of the more important families of flowering plants are 

 learned, and the general principles of the classification of plants are 

 presented. There is excellent opportunity for the collection and prep- 

 aration of material for the herbarium. Students who complete this 

 course successfully should be able to identify readily the native flora 

 in any section of the country. 



Wednesday. Two hours credit. Dr. Ehlers. 



This course gives one hour credit to graduate students.
