BIOLOGY FINAL EXAMINATION IN GENERAL BIOLOGY. MAY. 1948. 1. Silent Prayer. 15 min. 2. Chop an immature zooid into small dis- crete particles, ignoring its hurt expres- sion. 3. Account for the triumph of heredity over environment in the following sad case: A subclass Elasmobranchius, although he came of a long line of parasitic worms with no enteron to speak of, was carefully brought up among simple, wormlike, ter- restrial Arthropods. After graduating third in his class at Annapolis, he took to swimming around with marine worms of doubtful relationships; and repudiating the poor but honest foster-parents, spent the rest of his days a typical triploblastic flatworm. 4. Describe Symbiasis, the mutually benefi- cial relation between a parasite and its host. Could there be a richer, more satis- fying experience in life? 5. Biologists define FOOD as any material which can either yield energy for the ac- tivities of an organism or supply matter for its growth ' . Revise this definition to include lunch in your hall. 6. Give in outline form the arguments for and against the Hepatic portal-to-portal system. 7. You might not chew that pencil if you realized that it is a fibro-vascular bundle containing sieve-tubes. 8. You will be provided with a scalpel, a large glass slab, and a quantity of Kleenex or some relatively undifferentiated tissue. Allot one hour to dissection of the girl on your left. Left-handed students may dis- sect the girl on their right. MARY ANN BRADY ESTHER ESSAYAG BENACERRAF ROSAMOND KANE

FRENCH EXPLICATION DE TEXTE from Spleen et Ideal de Baudelaire: Ciel Brouille On dirait ton regard d ' une vapeur couvert; Ton oeil lnysterieux (est-il bleu, gris, ou vert? ) Alternativement tendre, reveur, cruel, Reflechit Vindolence et la paleur du ciel. Spleen et Ideal: the culminating superrational antithesis of Baudelaire ' s experience. He has de- cided on the origin of the Real. Ciel Brouille: rough translation: broiled sky . Fine translation: broiled sky . Baudelaire syn- thesizes the senses or, as the French would say, senthesize les sinses. The sky looks well done. One could say your regard was of a covered steam : again this continuous, all-pervasive sense of broiling. Your eye mysterious, is he blue, grey, or green? : This question is always bothering Bau- delaire. He was color-blind. Alternately tender, dreamy, cruel : throughout his life Baudelaire was to be captivated by what may be termed the Jeckel-Hyde fype. It takes one to know one. Reflects the indolence and paleness of the sky : We must guard against interpreting this poem as the mere expression of a great Hunger. Au con- traire. Baudelaire means to give the distinct im- pression that he has lost his appetite. The broiled sky, surrounded by slices of lemon and parsley springs, its glassy eye (alternately tender, dreamy, cruel) now pale, is not only indolent but cold. He has waited too long. He feels nothing but Spleen. JANINE GISELE DAUDON ELLEN MARY CASSATT HARE
