Text: Coulters Text book of Botany and Coulters Analyt-ical Key to the Flowering Plants. THIRD YEAR. Section B—Physiology. Four periods a week, one of whichis devoted to laboratory work. By this course the student ismade familiar with the essential facts concerning the structureand functions of the body, thereby becoming better able topreserve her health and that of her future pupils. Heathfuldress, diet, exercise, ventilation, and sanitation are among thepractical points discussed. As the course is designed also toprepare students for Psychology, the study of the nervous system.

(Elective.) Sixperiods a week. It is hoped by this course to give the student anopportunity to acquire that mental balance and breadth of viewwhich can only be secured by studious consideration of thegreat problems of life. An effort will be made to develop bycomparative study, the conception of the unity of Nature andthe similarity of life processes in plants and animals. The studyof ontogenetic and phylogenetic development will lead to theconsideration and discussion of the most important theoriesoffered for the solution of vital problems. Practice in collecting, preserving, and mounting material willbe part of the work. Prerequisites: Zoology, Botany, and Physiology. Recitation, two periods a week. Laboratory and field w
