2. Bacteriology.—Bacteria and allied organisms are now known to play exceedingly important roles in nature, and in the daily life and well being of man. This course is an introduction to existing knowledge upon the subject, and offers instruction in the modern methods of experimentation and research. The laboratory is well equipped for a limited number of students. Only those who can give extra time, when occasion demands, should undertake the work. Lectures and assigned reading accompany the laboratory work. Fall term, full

study. Professor BURRILL.

Required: Botany i or 6; Chemistry i; Art and Design 4. 3. Systematic Botany.—There is offered in this course an opportunity for advanced work in special groups of cryptogamic plants, to which an introduction is made in the winter term of course 1. The determination and classification of species and stndies upon life histories largely occupy the time. The methods of bacteriology are used in the cultivation of fresh material. Students who propose to take the course should give notice of the fact at the beginning of the year or earlier, and should make collections for themselves. Laboratory work constitutes the 'principal part of the course. Winter term, full study. Professor BURRILL. Required: Botany 1, 2; Chemistry 1; Art and Design 4. 4. Plant Reproduction and Development.—Studies are made upon selfand cross-fertilization, embryology, and development, and upon special topics in physiology. Laboratory work, supplemented by lectures and assigned reading. Strasburger's Practical Botany; Detmer's PJlanzenphysiologisches Prakticum. Spring term, full study. Professor BURRILL.

Required: Botany 1; Chemistry 1; Art and Design 4. 5. Investigations and Thesis.—Facilities are offered for original investigations upon selected subjects upon which may be based a thesis required for a degree. Special arrangements should be made with the instructor during the preceding year, or at least not later than the beginning of the year in which the work is to be taken. Winter and spring terms, full study. Professor BURRILL. Required: Botany 1; Chemistry 1; Art and Design 4. 6. General Botany.—This minor course is offered to students who have but a single term of botanical study. An endeavor is made to present a general view of the science and to provide an introduction to modern methods of work. Lectures or recitations, but mostly laboratory and field work. Spring term, full study. Miss BARBER.
