NATURAL SCIENCE GROUP 1^7 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 vegetable physiology, and having attached a glazed structure, two stories in height, well adapted to facilitate experiments upon living plants and for the growth of specimens required in the laboratories. There are also provisions for private laboratory work by instructors. The department is furnished with a lecture room; a room for the herbarium and facilities for work in connection therewith; work rooms for the preparation of specimens and material; storage rooms for apparatus, utensils, reagents, and materials; dark room for photography ; rooms for offices—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. GEOLOGY, MINERALOGY, AND PHYSIOGRAPHY In this department four courses are offered in geology, two in mineralogy, one in paleontology, and one in physiography. For students who wish more than a general acquaintance with these subjects, courses aggregating forty-five hours of class room and laboratory instruction have been arranged in geology, mineralogy, and paleontology, viz., mineralogy i, 5 hours; geology 1 and 2, 10 hours; mineralogy 2, 5 hours; physiography 1, 5 hours; paleontology 1, 10 hours; geology 4, 10 hours. (See pages 215, 241, 247, 253.) 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, a course of five hours (geology 3) is offered.
