groups of vertebrates and the proximity of the abattoirs in the city,
makes it possible to obtain material for the study of the development
of the sheep, cow, and pig. The college clinic and the department of
anatomy supply material for the embryology of the cat and dog, so
that the opportunities for research upon the development of the
domestic animals are excellent. Every encouragement is given for
the fullest utilization of these opportunities by students in the prepara
tion of theses and for special investigations.
The following courses are offered in 1899-1900.
Courses 1, 2, and 3 are open to Freshmen.
1. Microscope and microscopical methods. First half of fall
term. Two hours. Two lectures, one quiz and 6%
laboratory
actual hours of
work. This course forms the basis for all the subsequent
work given by the department. It is also designed to give a knowl
edge of the theory and use of the microscope and its accessories which
would be advantageous for the work of any department where the
microscope is employed. M., W., 8. Professor Gage, Assistant
Professor KinGSBURY, Dr. ClaypolE and Mr. MERCER.
This course counts two university hours for the term, although the
work must all be done in the first five weeks.
2. Vertebrate histology. Last half of fall term (3 hours) and
the winter term (5 hours). Eight hours. Two lectures, one quiz and
6% actual hours of labaratory
work. In this course are given the ele
ments of the fine anatomy of the domestic animals and of man. It
includes also methods of histologic investigation and demonstration.
M., W., 8. Professor Gage, Assistant Professor Kingsbury, Dr.
CLAYPOLE and Mr. MERCER.
This is a continuation of course 1 and is open only to those who
have taken course 1 , and have taken or are taking courses in anatomy
and physiology.
3. Vertebrate embryology. Spring term. Five hours. Two
lectures, one quiz and 6^ actual hours of laboratory work. This
course deals with the elements and methods of embryology in man,
the domestic animals and the amphibia. M., W., 8. Professor GAGE,
Assistant Professor Kingsbury, Dr. ClaypolE and Mr. MERCER.
Course 3 is open only to those who have pursued courses 1 and 2.
4. Research in histology and embryology. Laboratory work
with Seminary throughout the year. This course is designed for those
preparing theses for the baccalaureate or advanced degrees and for those
wishing to undertake special investigations in histology and embry
ology. Professor Gage and Assistant Professor Kingsbury.
