Twoor more compositions are required in each of these three formsof discourse—letter writing, narration and description. Veryeasy and simple subjects are assigned, in order that especial attention may be given to the form side of the work.In the second terms work, the principles of exposition andargumentation are considered. While the formal side of discourse is not overlooked m this phase of the work, especial attention is given to both the elaboration of the thought, and themethods of elaborating the thought. Each student writes fromone to three compositions during the term.William B. Woods,Head of Department.BIOLOGY.The work in this department consists of two terms in animalphysiology, both of which are required, and two terms each ofZoology and Botany, all of which are electives for persons advanced in the course. It is the aim iu the physiology work tostudy the human body as a working organism, whose variousfunctions are to be determined by scientific observation and experiment. For this reason, the dissection of various animal organs, and examination of microscopic sections forms an integralpart of the work.The work in Zoology is designed to extend the work in practical physiology, as a better preparation for teaching the same,and in addition acquaint the student with any of those animalforms which he, as teacher, may use later as subjects of study totrain the perceptive faculties of his pupils. The first term is devoted to invertebrates the second to the vertebrates, duringwhich term the student may make a series of microscopic slides ofthe simpler-tissues. |
