PHYSIOLOGY — 180 HOURS. 
Physiology is the science of the functions of living tissue (here confined to animals). 
The main facts and theories of animal physiology apply to man and the various 
domesticated animals, and constitute the subject of general physiology. If preferred, 
a course in human physiology covering substantially the same topics may be sub- 
stituted. In the agricultural college the hygiene of domesticated animals will ordi- 
narily be taught under the separate subject of zootechny, and the same may be said 
for metabolism and digestion in different species of animals. Illustrative materials 
and simple demonstrations will be used in connection with the lectures or text-book.
