There is a wide range of choice in the Scientific Department. Courses in the following subjects may be chosen as majors: Chemistry, Botany, Physics, Physiology, Anatomy, Geology, Zoology, or Entomology can be taken: and the satisfactory completion of the re- quired amount of work entitles one to the degree of Bachelor of Science: while an addi- tional year occupied in study and research leads to the degree of Master of Science. Only the briefest outline can be given of the various majors, several pages would be necessary to give the details of the work of any one of the courses.
