fr T HHH rf Lfl Hun Eepartment uf Qlibemisttp 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 teaehing with experiments, and in the first issue of the catalogue in 18 37 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 Miss Mary A. Berry led to the building, in 1892, of Shattuck Hall which contains the laboratories of Physics and Chemistry. Experimental MISS CARR lectures have always been continued. In 1907 the work was thrown open to Freshmen, so that a four-year course in Chemistry is new possible, in contrast to the Senior requirement of the time of Mary Lyon.

fi ff LFIVIHHHD Eepartment of Botany Botany was included by Miss Lyon in the curriculum of the first 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 beeame head of the department 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 hcrbarium was the nucleus of the present collection, to this Miss Shattuck added her hcrbarium and whatever other plants she was able, by her efforts, to secure. The botanical gardens were begun MISS STOKEY in 1878 by Miss Shattuck, and the first gardener, Mr. Charles Bates, was appointed in 1882. The first small plant house was destroyed by fire 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. ALMA GRACEY STOKEY, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Acting Head of the Department B.A., Oberlin, Ph.D., University of Chicago, .
