COLLEGE OP SCIENCE. FOURTH YEAR.

1. Materia Medica 1 or Pharmacognosy (Pharm. 3); Mineralogy 1; Thesis. 2. Geology 4; Materia Medica 1 or Psychology 6 and Botany 3; Thesis. 3. Materia Medica 1 or Pharmacognosy (Pharm. 3); Philosophy 8; Thesis. For the benefit of those who are preparing for medicine but who cannot take more than a two years' course at the University, the following scheme of study is suggested:

MINOR COURSE, FIRST YEAR.

SECOND YEAR.

1. Bacteriology (Bot. 2); Military 2; Physics 1, 3; Zoology 3. 2. Embryology (Zool. 5); Military 2; Physics 1, 3; Physiology 1. 3. Biology 2, General; Military 2; Physics 1, 3; Physiology 1. DESCRIPTIONS OF DEPARTMENTS.

BOTANY.

Six courses of instruction are offered in this subject—five primarily intended to meet the wants of students making botanical work more or less a specialty, and the sixth occupying a single term, complete in itself, for students whose chief attention is given to other branches. Three to nine terms' work constitutes a major course; that of the single term, course 6, a minor course. To a very large extent natural objects are studied rath,er than books, but constant endeavor is made to introduce students to pertinent existing literature. In the laboratory much use is made of the compound microscope, and special attention is given to its manipulation for best results, and to the preparation of objects.
