FELLOWS, 1905-6 CHARLES ALBERT SHULL, S.B. INTRODUCTORY The courses in Zoology aim to meet the needs of a general education, and at the same time to give a thorough preparation for a scientific or professional career. The leading purpose of such courses is to make clear the subject-matter of the science, its principal subdivisions, its scope, methods, and history, and its relations to other sciences. For advanced work in Zoology students must early acquire a reading knowledge of German and French, as a knowledge of these languages is assumed. Besides the cognate biological sciences a good working knowledge of Physics and Chemistry is necessary. The courses may be thus classified: I. General and Introductory.-Courses 1, 2, and 3 are intended to give a broad view of the field of Zoology. Either 1 or 2 is required for the more advanced, and both should be taken where possible. Course 3 is especially recommended to teachers. II. Comparative Anatomy is fundamental for most lines of advanced work in Zoology and Physiology. Courses 5, 6, 10 and 11 (or 7 and 9 in summer) are intended to give thorough training in the principles and methods of this science. Courses 10 and 11 are necessary to Course 20. III. Cytology.-Course 16 is intended to give the necessary methods for advanced work on the cell, and to give some insight into the results gained. Course 2 is prescribed for preparation, and it is recommended that Courses 18 and 20 be taken in connection with Course 16 as preparation for research in Cytology. IV. Embryology.—This science is of importance both because it gives the key to the interpretation of structure and of relationships, and because it investigates the causes of the development of the individual. Courses 18, 19, 20 and 25 serve as an introduction to the subject, and lead up to research in Courses 40 to 43. These courses should be preceded by Course 16 where possible. Course 2 is a prerequisite. The research courses are designed for students and Fellows who are beginning original work, or who are already advanced in such work. The regular research courses will be supplemented by the work of the Zoological Club, the Journal Club, and the Seminar. During the Summer Quarter general courses in Zoology will be given both at the University and at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Holl, Mass. Provision will also be made for research students at these places. For each Major or Double Minor course requiring laboratory work the laboratory fee is $2.50 per Major, excepting Course 1, in which there is no laboratory fee. The work of the Zoological Club consists in the presentation of carefully prepared papers and lectures, dealing with subjects under investigation, or critical reviews of papers of general interest to those engaged in research. Each lecturer aims to give an exhaustive critical review of some special field, to bring together the results reached by others and by himself, to point out the general bearings of the subject, and to indicate the problems to be solved. The club thus affords a means of supplementing the work of the regular courses of lectures. JUNIOR COLLEGE COURSES COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 1. Elementary Zoology.-The lectures and laboratory Mj.
