ZOOLOGY — 120 HOURS. 
Zoology is the science of animal life in its broadest sense. In agricultural colleges 
the subject-matter of zoological courses is perhaps best largely confined to a study of 
the anatomy, habits, distribution, and natural enemies of the important injurious 
and beneficial species. The special economic aspects of domesticated mammals and 
birds would naturally be taught under zootechny, while the general subject of the 
interrelations of animals to man comes under the subject of zoology. An outline 
course in economic entomology is provided in connection with the course in zoology. 
The course, as a whole, provides for forty to forty-five lectures and about eighty 
practicums (of two hours each).
