Lectures; Staley and Pierson's Separate System, of Sewerage. IVinter term, full study. Professor TALBOT. Required: Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, 1, 3; Chemistry, 1. 4. Botany.—This is a study of the lowest orders of plants, including such species as are most commonly met with in microscopical examinations of water, and found associated with putrescent substances. Lectures or recitations and microscopical laboratory work. This is practically the same as the first part of the second term of botany 1, in College of Science. Winter term, half study. Professor BURRILL. 5. Bacteriology.—For students in course in municipal engineering. This course includes the identification and classification of bacteria, and of allied organisms, their relations to health and to disease, the methods of separation and cultivation, and the methods of air and water analysis. The laboratory is furnished with sterilizers, culture ovens, microscopes, etc.; and students have abundant opportunity to do practical work. This is at first the same as bacteriology 1, in the College of Science, but in the latter part of the term special investigations are undertaken by the engineering students. Fall term, full study. Professor BURRILL. Required: Municipal and Sanitary Engineering, 4. MINING ENGINEERING. 1.
