GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF COURSES

It is assumed that the student has a good understanding of political geography, and of the principles of land development, etc., as set forth in such works as Davis's Physical Geography, Mill's Realm of Nature, or Tarr's Physical Geography. / . ; daily; 3 and 4;

(5). Professor ROLFE and Mr. HUBBARD.

Required: Geology 1 or 3, or an approved entrance credit in Geology, or Physical Geography. PHYSIOLOGY 1. MAJOR COURSE.—:This course is founded on the previous thorough training of the student in physics, chemistry, and zoology. The course is designed primarily to prepare those taking it to enter upon the study of medicine. The work begins with a comprehensive study of the microscopic structure of the tissues in general, and later includes the structure of the organs in particular, with special 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. I. and II.; daily; 3 and 4; (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 and 4; (5 each semester). Professor KEMP.
