INTRODUCTORY The courses in Zoology aim to meet the needs of those students who desire to obtain some knowledge of Zoology as part of their general education, those who need work in Zoology to satisfy the requirements of other departments, and those who propose to specialize in Zoology. The leading purpose of the courses is to present the subject-matter of the science, its guiding ideas, its principal subdivisions, its scope, methods, and history, and its relations to other sciences. Undergraduate work in Zoology.—It is advisable that students who propose to specialize in Zoölogy should obtain a broad scientific foundation, including work in the cognate sciences, and a reading knowledge of German and French. More specifically, students specializing in Zoology should take 4 or 5 majors in Chemistry, 2 or 3 in Physics, and 1 or 2 in Geology; they should also obtain knowledge of the general principles of microscopical Anatomy, Paleontology, Botany, and Physiology. These courses may be taken concurrently with the work in Zoology. Consultation with reference to the sequence of courses taken in the Department is required. Graduate work in Zoology.-Students proposing to undertake graduate work in Zoology should have credit for from eight to ten of the undergraduate majors in Zoology or their equivalent. They should also be grounded in other sciences as noted above; and a reading knowledge of German and French is required for candidacy for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The plan of the graduate courses involves three or four majors of formal courses and three majors or more of seminar courses in addition to research work. For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy the research work will usually extend over a period of three years. For the Master's degree Zoölogy 1, 3 or 5, 15, 16, and 17 or their equivalent, eight majors of graduate work, and a dissertation are required. The Zoological Club.-The members of the staff and the advanced students of the Department form a club which meets weekly for the presentation of the research work of members of the Department, and for review and discussion of important new literature. The meetings are open to all students in the Department. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION Zoology 1 or its equivalent is prerequisite for all the Senior College courses in the Department. But courses 3 or 5 or 9 may be accepted as its equivalent for advanced work in the Department at the option of the instructor offering advanced courses. I. JUNIOR COLLEGE COURSES 1.
