In the tables the first column of figures repre sents the time over all for each subject, including lecture, recitation, laboratory and study h o u rs; the second column the number of hours for class work (lecture or recitation), and the third column the number of hours for laboratory exercises. It should be clearly understood th at the hours in the tables are not prescribed, but are only suggested as a fair division of the time for the various sub jects in the course. The subjects for the first three terras were pre scribed in Bulletin C.b.35. I t will be noted that Technical Drawing has been included in the third term. A part of the time assigned to Anatomy in the second term might be devoted to comparative vertebrate anatomy, to supplement the course in Biology.
