JEPSON, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Dendrology. HARVEY M. HALL, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Economic Botany and Assistant Botanist in the Agricultural Experiment Station. NATHANIEL L. GARDNER, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Botany. THOMAS H. GOODSPEED, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Botany. TOWNSHEND S. BRANDEGEE, Ph.B., Honorary Curator in the Herbarium. C. A. PURPUS, Pharm.D., Botanical Collector. EUGENE S. HEATH, M.A., Assistant in Botany, for the first half-year. Courses 2 and 3 lead directly to and are prerequisite for advanced work in botany. Lecture courses in the summer session may be equivalent to course 1A-1B in part, and credit will not be given for both in such a case. Courses 2 and 3 are also designed to fulfill lower division requirements in the College of Agriculture. Laboratory courses in the summer session may be equivalent to courses 2 and 3; credit will not be given for duplicated work. Courses 104A-104B, 105A, 109A-109в, and 116 are required for major subjects in different divisions of the department of agriculture. Honor-students in the Upper Division.—Of the 24 units of upper division work required for graduation with honors, 18 units should consist of courses 104, 105, 109, the remaining 6 units to be made up preferably from one of the more advanced courses in the department. In special cases, by permision of the head of the department, these 6 units may be taken in some allied department. Honor-students will be given special opportunities as far as facilities will permit. These may consist of additional working room in the laboratories, of opportunities for herbarium, garden, or field work, or of additional individual attention and guidance from the instructor. If it seems advisable, an honor-student may, after consultation with the instructor, substitute special field, laboratory, or garden studies for a part of the class work regularly required of other students. For those students who expect to prepare for botanical research or teaching, a broad foundation in related subjects is strongly advised. The fundamental courses in physics and chemistry should be taken, if possible, before the work in botany is begun. Courses in physiology, zoology, and plant pathology may be included to advantage; higher mathematics is desirable; a reading knowledge of French and German is necessary; some knowledge of Latin is very desirable for advanced systematic botany. A laboratory fee of $2.50 will be charged each half-year for each laboratory course. This rule applies to courses 2, 3, 104A-104B, 105A105B, 106A-106B, 107A-107B, 109A-109B, 110, 111A-111B, 112A-112B, 113A-113B, 116. 2 In residence second half-year only, 1917-18.

The equipment of the botanical department is fairly complete, permitting a wide range of studies. It includes the following collections: (1) A phaenogamic herbarium of 170,000 sheets of mounted specimens and a large quantity of unmounted material which is available for use by responsible investigators. The flora of Western America is here better represented than in any other collection, which permits of satisfactory work in preparing revisions or monographs of these plants. The economic section contains representatives of the more common cultivated plants, particularly of those grown in California. (2) A cryptogamic herbarium consisting of 25.000 mounted sheets. The representation of the west coast algae is undoubtedly the most complete in existence. These collections, together with the ease with which the marine forms may be collected, render the study of cryptogams, and particularly of algae, very satisfactory. (3) A botanical museum containing valuable sections of woods, barks, cones, etc., available for class and research work. (4) A botanical garden where native plants are grown and where cultural experiments may be carried on by qualified students. |
