ASTRONOMY

RUSSELL T. CRAWFORD, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Practical Astronomy.

S1. Elements of Astronomy.

Associate Professor CRAWFORD.

An introductory course giving the facts and principles underlying the science of astronomy in all of its branches. The course is designed primarily to meet the needs of those who desire a general knowledge of the subject. Lantern slides will be used freely to illustrate the lectures. No prerequisites. 2 units.

M Tu W Th F, 9. 1 Observatory.

S103A. General Astronomy.

Associate Professor CRAWFORD.

The general facts and principles underlying the science of astronomy in all of its branches, developed and discussed in complete detail. This course, taken together with course 1, is designed to meet the needs of students who intend to continue the study of astronomy or of those who desire to fit themselves to become teachers of astronomy in high schools. 1 unit.

M W F, 10. 11 Observatory. Open to students who are taking course 1 or who have had its equivalent.

113. Teachers' Course.

Associate Professor CRAWFORD.

The topics to be presented will include methods of teaching the prin ciples of astronomy in the high school; methods of conducting observing classes, with or without astronomical instruments; practice in the use of the instruments in the observatory; suggestions for numerical exercises; a discussion of the standard textbooks and of the current literature of the science. Special attention will be given to methods of making useful observations with simple apparatus. 1 unit.

One lecture and one observing period per week. Hours to be arranged when the class meets for organization, Tuesday, June 23, 1914, at ten o'clock, 11 Observatory. Open to students who are taking courses 1, 103A, or who have had their equivalents.

BOTANY

NATHANIEL L. GARDNER, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Botany.

PAUL VANDER EIKE, A.B., Vice-Principal and Instructor in Botany, Kern County High School, Bakersfield.

MAURICE B. NICHOLS, Ph.B., Instructor in Botany, Oakland High School. ARTHUR H. AYRES, M.A., Assistant in Botany.

ROBERT P. BRANDT, B.S., Assistant in Botany in the Summer Session.

S2. General Botany.

Assistant Professor GARDNER, Mr. AYRES, and Mr. VANDER EIKE. A morphological and physiological study of flowers, fruits, seeds, roots, stems, and leaves of the spermatophytes. The course will embrace a sufficient study of the morphological features of this group of plants to form a basis for the comprehensive study of the fundamental life processes; respiration, nutrition, and reproduction. Equivalent to Botany 2 in the regular session. 3 units.

M Tu W Th F: lectures, 9; laboratory, 10-12. 2 Botany Building. Fee $2.50.

The equivalent of Botany 3 in the regular session will probably be offered in the Summer Session of 1915.

4. California Flora. Assistant Professor GARDNER and Mr. BRANDT. Laboratory and garden studies of the flowering plants of California. Training in naming and classification, with the aid of local floras and keys. The aim of the course is to enable the student to make for himself determinations of flowering plants, to familiarize him with botanical terms, and to acquaint him with typical representatives of the more important plant families. Material for study will be selected from the botanic garden of the University and from the wild flowers of the district surrounding Berkeley. 2 units.

M Tu W Th F, 11. 8 Botany Building.

5. Algology.

Assistant Professor GARDNER and Mr. NICHOLS. The marine and fresh-water algae of the Pacific Coast of North America. Lectures, laboratory studies, and field work. Selected specimens of representative genera of the prominent groups will be used for critical morphological and histological study. Excursions will be made to the coast in the vicinity of San Francisco, where there is a wealth of material for ecological study. Methods of collection, mounting, and preservation of specimens will be discussed. It is hoped that the course will stimulate a greater public interest in this important and interesting group of plants. No prerequisite. 2 units.

M W F, 1-3. 2 Botany Building. Fee $2.50.

6. Teachers' Course.

Assistant Professor GARDNER.

Lectures and discussions concerning the quantity and the character of subject matter applicable to the first year's work in botany, and methods of presenting the same in secondary schools. An assemblage of simple apparatus suitable for such a course will be displayed. 2 units.
