INTRODUCTORY

The courses here offered are intended to furnish an account of the Histology, Microscopic Anatomy, and Architecture of the Nervous System such as will be required by students of Anatomy and those preparing for Medicine or Psychology, and also to give the opportunity both for the investigation of new problems and for a critical discussion of current work in Neurology. Course 3 forms part of the required work in Histology and Microscopic Anatomy for those taking the first two years' work in Medicine. The Neurological Journal Club -open to Graduate students-meets every Monday afternoon.

For each Major course requiring laboratory work the laboratory fee is $2.50. For Medical students this fee is included in the quarterly tuition fees.

SAMUEL WENDELL WILLISTON, M.D., PH.D., Professor of Paleontology.

INTRODUCTORY

While the Department keeps in view the usefulness of botany in contributing to a liberal education, its method is the same in aiding general culture as in training investigators. Beginning with the fundamentals of biology from the standpoint of botany, the courses gradually differentiate into more and more special lines until finally they become adapted to the needs of the individual investigator. The method of the Department is the careful, individual examination of the facts upon which the body of the science rests. In courses demanding the use of apparatus a laboratory fee of $2.50 is charged for each Major. The Department occupies the Hull Botanical Laboratory. At present there is provision of apparatus, books, periodicals, and collections, for work in morphology, cytology, physiology, and ecology. In addition to the facilities belonging to the University, the conveniently situated grounds and greenhouses of Jackson and Washington Parks are always available for material, while the Crerar and Newberry Libraries are easily accessible.

The library contains a good representation of standard and current botanical literature, to which additions are being made rapidly. Complete files of the more important serials have been secured, and nearly all current botanical journals are received through exchange or purchase. Special care will be taken to secure all necessary literature for research students.

The Botanical Gazette, a journal now in its thirty-seventh volume, is the property of the University, and while in no sense an organ of the Department, it is the natural channel for the publication of much of its work. The Department has also begun a series of Contributions from the Hull Botanical Laboratory, fifty-four numbers of which have been published.

The Botanical Club consists of the instructors and advanced students of the Department, who meet each week to review important current literature, to present the results of their own research, and to hear visiting botanists. The club is made an important means of supplementary training for the special student of botany.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION

The laboratory fees named include the use of microscope and reagents and plant material. In addition a breakage ticket is usually needed.

The courses fall naturally into groups under the following classification:

I. General and Introductory.-Courses 1, 2 or 26, and 3 are intended to give a general preparation for biological work in the field of botany. Each course is complete in itself, but Course 1 is a necessary introduction

to either 2 or 3, and is the course to be selected by the general student who can give but a single Quarter to the subject. For this reason Course 1 is given each Quarter. Course 5 is intended to give some knowledge of the anatomy of woody plants, and Course 6 to correct the tendency of students of morphology to know only labora. tory material and to be ignorant of live plants and their habitats. Courses 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 are especially recommended to teachers in the public schools.

Courses 7, 8, and 9 constitute a series intended to give a thorough account of the principal groups of plants, their morphology, and a somewhat detailed outline of their classification. These courses may be taken in any sequence, although the subject develops most naturally if they are taken in the order of their numbering. Course 1, or its equivalent, is prerequisite for any of these courses, which are required of all students who intend to do advanced work in the department, and are adapted to all students who desire a thorough elementary knowledge of plants.

Course 4 is required of all students who purpose entering any of the courses in special morphology.

II. Special Morphology.—The courses enumerated under this head (10-15) expand the work of Courses 7,8 and 9, and consider in detail the different groups of plants there studied. They are intended to furnish the training necessary for independent research in morphology. Courses 10, 12, and 13 make up a year's work, offered in alternate years with Courses 11, 14, and 15. Courses 18 and 19 are for research students and demand familiarity with German and French.

III. Physiology.-Courses 20-22 include work in the fundamental principles of Physiology and constitute a continuous course (though they may be elected separately and in any order) prerequisite to research work in Physiology. Course 26 may be elected instead of 2 as an introduction to Physiology, and a preparation for 20-22. The laboratory observations in these courses sometimes require work at irregular and unusual hours which those electing them should be willing to give. Students should be able to read German readily, and must be acquainted with the fundamental principles of physics and inorganic chemistry. Physics 1 and 2, or 3, and Chemistry 1, 2, 3, are highly desirable antecedents, and may in future be made prerequisites. Especial stress during all three courses will be laid upon the regulation of all functions through irritability.

IV. Ecology.-Courses 30, 32, and 34 constitute a series, but are independent of one another, and hence may be elected separately. The ability to read German is a decided advantage in all the courses in Ecology.

1. Elementary Botany.-A general introduction to
Botany, including the outlines of structure
function, and classification. The lectures and
laboratory exercises develop these subjects from
the standpoint of the evolution of the plant
kingdom, chief stress being laid upon the alter-
nation of generations, and little attention being
paid to vegetative tissues. This course or its
equivalent is a prerequisite to the other courses
offered by the department. No credit given
until the Quarter's work is completed.
