...published by the Lawrence Scientific School for the first time. Previously this department was considered a branch of the Division of Geology and was included in its pamphlet. The admission examinations for this are the same as for all other departments in the Scientific School and the courses practically correspond to those given last year in mining and metallurgy. Nearly all of the work is done in the Rotch Building which contains five different laboratories with equipments equal to any in the world. The building also contains the large library of Raphael Pumpelly, professor in the Scientific School from...

Modern society needs men highly trained in these subjects, and is prepared to re ward adequately men who excel in them...
...collection comprises some ten thousand skins, mostly of Eastern North American specimens, and includes about a hundred type specimens. The skulls of the animals are kept in separate cases, and are numbered to correspond with the respective skins-a method not adopted in the preparation of the original collection, where the skulls are not removed and consequently are not readily studied. Every specimen is accompanied by a label, with full data, including measurements made from the living animal...
