GEOLOGY AND MINERALOGY. EQUIPMENT. 81 The botanical laboratories are: One of large size with full equipment of microscopes, microtomes, aquaria, models, charts, etc., for general work; one specially arranged and fitted up for bacteriological instruction and investigation, supplied with sterilizers, thermostats, microscopes, a full line of glassware, metal vessels, and chemicals; one adjoining the latter and used in connection with it for physiological botany, now in course of equipment with special apparatus and facilities; and an instructor's private laboratory. The department is furnished with a lecture room, work and storage rooms, offices, dark room for photography, and a room for .the herbarium, all in convenient association and provided with the necessary materials and apparatus for ordinary class work and for advanced research. Special attention has been given to parasitic fungi; and the collections of specimens and of the literature upon the subject are ample for various lines of original investigation.

For those students who wish more than a general acquaintance with these subjects a major course covering thirty-six weeks of class room and laboratory instruction has been arranged in each, and a supplementary course of twentytwo weeks is offered to those who select a geological subject for a thesis. Engineers who wish an acquaintance with those portions only of geology which bear most strictly on their future work are offered a minor course of eleven weeks. A minor course of eleven weeks is offered to those who desire merely an outline of the most prominent facts and theories of geology with some idea of the methods by which the geologist arrives at his conclusions. In mineralogy one term's work may be taken for a similar purpose. EQUIPMENT.
