Alfred S. Romer, for assistance in making wax plate reconstructions of the development of limb muscles of higher vertebrates preparatory to the publication of results...
Before you get through with the field you ought to drop in on Professor Romer in Paleontology 4b. Romer is an eminent man in his field and one of the personalities in the department. There's a difference of opinion on Graton in the first half of 10; some of the students consider him to be a great man but others can't seem to take him seriously. Gibson is more infomal in the second half of the course...
Biology 2 on Comparative Anatomy and the Evolution of Vertebrates, has been an excellent course under Romer, but faces a revolution this year when it is turned into a half course. 3 on Physiology is particularly strong on lab technique and methods of research. For this reason it is a fairly difficult course and probably should not be taken until Junior year. Redfield, Wald, and Stier are all highly commended lecturers...
...Botany, Hisaw the second half on Zoology. Darrah is a dry lecturer and his material is disorganized, But Hisaw is both amusing and well organized. He understands which students are likely to have difficulty, and takes special pains to help them. The labs, under Pomerat, are very fine. Romer's Bio. 2, on Comparative Anatomy and the Evolution of invertebrates, is especially valuable for its lab work, though the lectures are dull. Students who had taken some Math., Physics and Chemistry found that Wyman's half year on the Physics-Chemical aspects of Biology was useful for the last part...
Back went Professor Romer's answer: Dimetrodon's call he did not know, but Tyrannosaurus's call bordered on the sound of a radiator steam pipe and a crocodile. The only difficulty was that there couldn't have been a death struggle, for they lived 150,000,000 years apart...
