DESCRIPTIONS OF DEPARTMENTS BOTANY Seven courses of instruction are offered in this subject—five primarily intended to meet the wants of students making botanical work more or less a specialty, and the sixth occupying a single term, complete in itself, for students whose chief attention is given to other branches. Three to nine terms' work constitutes a major course; that of the single term, course 0, a minor course. To a very large extent natural objects are studied rather than books, but constant endeavor is made to introduce students to pertinent existing literature. In the laboratory much use is made of the compound microscope, and special attention is given to its manipulation for best results, and to the preparation of objects. The seventh course is pharmaceutical botany. EQUIPMENT The botanical laboratories are: One of large size with full equipment of microscopes, microtomes, aquaria, models, charts, etc., for general work; one specially arranged and fitted up for bacteriological instruction and investigation, supplied with storilizors, thermostats, microscopes, a full line of glassware, metal vessels, and chemicals ; one adjoining the latter and used in connoction with it for vogetablo physiology, and having
