A Q lsmsf Bvpartmvnt nf Glhrniiatrg A few years before the opening of the Seminary, Miss Lyon attended a course of lectures on Chemistry at Am- herst College, that she might be able to illustrate her teaching with experiments, and in the first issue of the catalogue in 1837 Chemistry is among the studies required of Seniors. At first the lectures were given by professors from various colleges, and the class work Was in, charge of Seminary teachers. In 1868 Miss Shattuck took charge of both lecture and class work, and it is to her enthusiasm that the present development of science in the College is largely due. The work of Nliss Mary A. Berry led to the building, in 1892, of Shattuck Hall which contains the laboratories of Physics and Chemistry. Experimental lectures have always been continued. ln 1907 the Work was thrown open to Freshmen, so that a four-year course in Chemistry is now possible, in contrast to the Senior requirement of the time of Mary Lyon.

T lower Evpartntvnt nf ifintang Botany was included by Miss Lyon in the curriculum of the iirst year, 1837-1838, and until 1851 was a required subject during two or three years of the course. In 1897- 1898 it became entirely elective. Many names are in- cluded in the list of those teaching the subject between 1837 and 1851. In the latter year, Miss Lydia W. Shat- tuck became head of the department and directed its interests until her death in 1889. Since that time, until 1908- 1909, Miss Henrietta li. Hooker was in charge of the department. Miss Lyon's herbarium was the nucleus of the present collection, to this Miss Shattuck added her herbarium and whatever other plants she was able, by her efforts, to secure. The botanical gardens were begun in 1878 by Miss Shattuck, and the lirst gardener, Mr. Charles Bates, was appointed in 1882. The lirst small plant house was destroyed by lire in 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. The most recent addition is the Wright Plant Physiology Laboratory.
