UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. T H E NATURAL SCIENCE GROUP.

The courses of the natural science group are especially intended td afford a general preparation for professional and business pursuits requiring more of an acquaintance with the methods and facts of science than with those of literature. More specifically they are designed: (i.) To afford a thorough liberal education with a basis in science and the modern languages. (2.) To prepare for the pursuit of specialties in zoology, entomology, physiology, botany, or geology, as a scientific career. (3.) To lay a liberal foundation in biological work and study for a course in medicine. (4.) To prepare for the teaching of the natural and physical sciences either in the higher schools or as a professional specialty. The recent establishment, by the University, of a biological station for a continuous investigation of the aquatic life of the Illinois River and adjacent waters, affords an extraordinary opportunity for advanced students in the zoological and botanical courses. Provision will be made for postgraduate investigation at this station by students working for advanced degrees.
