PLANT PATHOLOGY

The courses offered in Plant Pathology are duplicates of the regular fall or spring courses and may be taken in complete fulfillment of the same requirements. The summer season at Berkeley is particularly advantageous for this subject, material being abundant and climatic conditions ideal for work and comfort. Furthermore, the summer courses make it possible for the graduate student to follow the development of a disease or disease-inciting organism throughout the entire year, at the same time obtaining full university credit for his summer work and shortening the time for his degree.

The courses will be given in 1914 by various members of the staff of the Plant Pathology Division at Berkeley and the Graduate School of Tropical Agriculture in southern California, assisted by other lecturers on special topics.
