INSTRUCTION IN BOTANY 



Mr. Shaw's provision for a close connection between the 

 School of Botany, which he had endowed in Washington 

 University, and the Garden has been of great assistance to 

 the undergraduate department of the University, and 

 through the Garden opportunities for work have been 

 offered to graduate students, of whom five have received 

 the Master's degree and six the degree of Doctor of Philo- 

 sophy with botany as a major study. The Board expect 

 to see a large increase in this utilisation of the Garden 

 facilities commensurate with the very gratifying growth of 

 Washington University. Indirectly the Garden has been 

 of much use to the young men who have served as assist- 

 ants in its office, library, or herbarium, or as teachers in 

 the school of botany, for with very few exceptions they 

 have gone to college, government or other positions of high 

 responsibility in botany or horticulture, for which their 

 service here gave excellent training.
