It is better avoided, though, by men who can't do math. For the man who intends to do no graduate work, Biochem is useless professionally, but provides a good, liberal survey of general science. For men going into psychology or physiology in Graduate School, it provides at least as good, and probably a better, background than undergraduate concentration in psychology or biology...
