GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF COURSES

relation to their functions. The course, together with courses in chemistry recommended for prospective medical students, will complete a very thorough study of physiological chemistry, so far as it relates to the normal composition and functions of the organs and excretions. Frequent demonstrations in experimental physiology are given before the class, and the student is required to perform a number of such experiments under the immediate direction of the instructor. In addition, the students, working in small groups, will be required to perform assigned experiments, and to submit their records and data for examination and criticism. Practical laboratory work is insisted on throughout. /. and II.; daily; 3; (5 each semester). Professor KEMP. Required: Physics 1,3; Chemistry 1, 2, 3a, 5a, 9, 9c; Zoology 2. 2. ADVANCED COURSE.—Continuation of Physiology 1 through a second year. This course is designed for students who wish to get as thorough a training as possible for the study of medicine, and who can afford to take the full science course at the University leading to the B.S. degree. The work will be made up of lectures, assigned reading, and experiments in the laboratory conducted by the students themselves, under the supervision of the instructor. Course 1 will necessarily give but a limited opportunity for such personal work on the part of the student. Course 2 will enable him to have a fair degree of experience with methods and apparatus used in the most advanced lines of medical study. /. and II; daily; 3; (5 each semester). Professor KEMP. 3. INVESTIGATION AND THESIS.—The laboratory of the physiological department is well equipped with instruments of precision for research in histology, physiological chemistry, experimental physiology, and pharmacology. Every facility and encouragement, so fir as the resources of the laboratory permit, are offered to those prepared to avail themselves of these for researches leading to theses for the bachelor's, master's, or doctor's degree, or for carrying on original work for publication. 4. MINOR COURSE.—This course is planned for literary students and for students of natural science specializing in other lines. Especial emphasis is laid uoon those facts that serve as a basis for practical hygiene, and for helping students to teach physiology in high schools. It will consist of lecture demonstrations, recitations, and laboratory work. Students who have had chemistry or zoology in high schools may be admitted to the course at the option of the instructors. / / . ; daily; 7; (5). Professor KEMP. Required: Chemistry 1; Zoology 10.
