IO2 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. ENTOMOLOGY. I. General and Economic Entomology.—A single course is offered in this subject. It is designed mainly as a preparation for economic work and investigation as a specialty; but students whose principal interest is in structural or systematic entomology, may take a special line of such work in the second term. A large part of the time is devoted to the study of the characters, life histories, habits, and economic relations of a selected list of especially important insects. Specimens of these in their different stages, together with synopses and descriptions of the families to which they belong, are furnished the students, and the essential facts not discoverable by direct observation are given in lectures or acquired by study of text. Practice infieldobservation is given as opportunity offers, and all are taught the ordinary methods of the collection, preparation, and care of specimens, together with the approved methods of controlling the ravages of the injurious species. A personal study, continuous for a term, of the life history and habits of some insect species is made by each student, and is finally reported in the form of a thesis. In both field and laboratory an extraordinary opportunity is offered to competent students of this course to observe and assist in practical entomological work and original research. Winter and spring terms, full study. Professor FORBES. Required: Zoology, i, or 5; Botany, 1, or 6. PHYSIOLOGY. 1. Human Physiology.—The students admitted to this class have already passed an entrance examination in the elementary principles of anatomy and physiology. The main objects of the course are to make the student familiar with the position, structure, and healthy action of those organs most liable to become diseased; to make plain the part which the nervous system plays in both the healthy and morbid action of the various organs, and in the problems of nutrition and energy. The plan embraces lectures, recitations from the text-book, frequent readings from standard authors, and demonstrations from fresh dissections, alcoholic specimens, microscopical preparations, skeletons, and the manikin. Martin's Humati Body. Fall Term, full study. Professor ROLFE. Required: Chemistry, 1.
