GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF COURSES

VETERINARY SCIENCE

1. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY.—The anatomy and physiology of

the domestic animals constitute the subjects of instruction for one term. The instruction is given by lectures aided by demonstrations with use of skeletons, aud of other apparatus as follows: Dr. Auzoux's complete model of the horse, which is in ninety-seven pieces and exhibits three thousand details of structure; papier-mache model of the horse^'s foot;, the teeth of the horse at different ages; and dissections of animals. This work is supplemented with the study of text-books. Strangeivays' Veterinary Anatomy and Mills's Animal Physiology. Fall term, full study. Professor MCINTOSH. 2. PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE.—This sub-

ject is taught by lectures and text-books on the diseases of domestic animals, and is illustrated with specimens of morbid anatomy and by observations and practice at the clinics. The latter are held at the veterinary infirmary once a week. The students assist in the operations, and thus obtain a practical knowledge of the subject. Dissections and postmortems are made as cases present themselves. Text-books: Diseases

of Horses and Cattle, by D. McIntosh, and Williams' s Practice of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery. Winter and spring terms, full study. Professor MCINTOSH. 3. VETERINARY MATERIA MEDICA.—This subject, which treats of

the agents for the cure of disease or injury, or for the preservation of health among domestic animals, is taught by lectures and text-books, illustrated by specimens of the drugs used in veterinary practice. The compounding of medicines also receives attention. Fall, winter, and

spring terms, full study. Professor MCINTOSH.

ZOOLOGY

1. GENERAL ZOOLOGY, MAJOR COURSE.—The work here described

forms a continuous course, beginning in the winter term of the freshman year and ending with the fall term of the sophomore year. It is the immediate object of this course to lay the foundation for a working knowledge of zoology, and its secondary object to draw from zoological science its distinctive discipline as an element in a liberal education. It is planned with a view to giving students a wide acquaintance with the methods of zoological research in field, laboratory, and library, and a general acquaintance with zoological theory, and the leading facts of observation and experiment upon which such theory rests. It is devoted especially to a series of laboratory studies of animal types, and to.lectures on the morphology, physiology, and relations to nature of this se-
