f E 1 . Department of Botany Botany was included by Miss Lyon in the curriculum of the first year, 1837-1838, and until 1851 was a required sub- ject during two or three years of' the course. In 1897-1898 it became entirely elective. Many names are included in the list of those teaching the subject between 1837 and 1851. In the latter year Miss Lydia W. Shattuck became head of' the depart- ment and directed its interests until her death in 1889. Since that time until 1908-1909 Miss Henrietta E. Hooker was in charge of the department. Miss Lyon's herbarium was the nucleus ofthe present collections. To this Miss Shattuck added her herbarium and whatever other plants she was able, by her X, . V, efforts, to secure. The botanical gardens were begun in 1878 X. , f by Miss Shattuck, and the first gardener, Mr. Charles Bates, was appointed in 1882. The first small plant house was destroyed by the Ere of' 1896. The present range of' houses was the result of' the generosity of several individuals, the largest gift coming from Mr. and Mrs. James Talcott, for whom the arboretum is named.

FP THE LLAIVIARAD Department of Astronomy 'u A course in Astronomy was included in the required-:work . V ji' of the Seminary from the beginning in 1837 until the granting .fi of the college charter, when all ,courses were made elective. The ,it ' W Y Tj , hrst telescope, six inches in aperture, was purchased in 1853 i'L,j,Q ,- H X and sheltered in a small observatory near the site of Williston W' I Hall. In 1881 the John Payson Williston Observatory, the gift of Mr. A. L. Wilhston, was completed. Its principal instru- ,M .V,-'b' ,F ments are an eight-inch Clark telescope, mounted equatorially, i 1 '. and a three-inch meridian circle. In 1902 a lecture room was Q ' added to this building and facilities for elementary observational 8 work was greatly increased. Miss Bardwell, the Hrst director ' of the observatory, began her work here in 1866. After her MISS YOUNG death in 1899 she was succeeded by' Miss Young. Since 1902 there has also been an assistant in the department. Upon the first Wednesday evening of each month the observatory is open to visitors, and residents of neighboring towns, as well as students of the college and their friends, are given an opportunity to see objects of interest with the telescope.

fl -A -T KY--J' Q bf' X fr , if at Department of Zoology and Physiology From the beginning ofthe Seminary, in 1837-1838, until 1874. the philosophy of natural history held a place in its cur- riculum, in that year Zoology took its place. The first Zoological laboratory was situated in Williston Hall, built in 1876. An annex was added in 1889 and the accommodations for work in Zoology seemed ample until IQO5, when the laboratory work in physiology was included in the department. Since that time there has been necessity for enlarged quarters for the depart- ment, and a new biological laboratory is looked for in the future.
