Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biological Teaching in the Colleges of the United States The absolute necessity for considerable Science teaching in any liberal course Of study is now generally admitted, and teachers seem almost unanimous in believing that the training in methods is the primary Object Of such work, and that the information involved, important though it is, must be given a subordinate place. It follows, therefore, that if the quality Of teaching is what it should be, the methods Of Scientific inquiry, SO far at least as they are common to all branches, may be learned by studies in one department of science quite as well as in any other. It follows, too, that in the arrangement Of studies, in a college curriculum at least, all sciences must be given an approximately equal rank, equal SO far as the general character Of the logical methods is concerned, and varying principally in the extent to which they depend upon the two sources Of information - observation and experiment. It is as a means of training the observational powers that biology 1s chiefly valuable. In this respect it is surpassed by no one Of the natural sciences, and indeed it possesses certain features which it shares with none Of them. In spite Of this the general improvement in the methods of teaching biology has come much 'later than in any Of the sister sciences. In seeking for the cause of this it seems evident that the introduction Of practical and rational methods into the teaching Of chemistry and physics has been greatly facilitated by popular ap preciation based upon the very erroneous but widespread idea that the final end and aim Of chemistry is the ability to determine the composi tion Of unknown substances, while physics finds a justification for its existence only in such occasional discoveries as the electric light and the phonograph. The educational value Of practical work in chemistry and physics seems, therefore, to have been something Of an after thought, and to have been demonstrated only after such work had been performed for a considerable time with other Objects in view.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1891 edition. Excerpt: ...Students applying for the freshman class in any of the courses must pass examinations in elementary physiology and physics. Those coming from certain of the Minneapolis schools and about fourteen high schools through the State are admitted without examination on presenting certificates from the institutions in question. In the classical section botany is the only work required, this course occupying the third term of the freshman year, and consisting of four weekly exercises, devoted to the leading characteristics of the algae, fungi, mosses, and ferns, and to plant physiology. In the junior and senior classes most of the scientific work is elective. Physiology and histology and physiological botany may be chosen in the junior year Each course occupies 4 hours weekly, devoted to lectures and laboratory work. A special course in mycology is also given during one term of the junior year. During the senior year a course in animal morphology is open to those who have had the preliminary training afforded by the courses already mentioned. In the scientific course the student may choose between vegetable and animal biology in the third term of the freshman year. In vegetable biology the work begins with a study of plant cells, and proceeds through the fungi and higher cryptogams to the anaCbmy, physiology, and systematic relations of flowering plants, the course continuing through the sophomore year. The course in animal biology begins with a thorough drill in the use of the microscope, camera, micrometer, etc., and during the remainder of the term the student is occupied with a general study of the properties of living matter, passing then to the protozoa. As a test of his knowledge each student is required to make a clay model of an...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biological Instruction in Universities With such an example before us, it ought to be unnecessary to urge the practical lesson it teaches. But we are under the spell of our historical roots, and there seems to be a too gen eral conviction, or conceit, that we are doing fairly well under the circumstances. In some quarters, allusion to the superiority of the German system is enough to raise a storm of indignation against the grumbler. And yet we go on year after year sending students abroad to complete their biological education; and in nine cases out of ten they turn their backs on the land of historical roots and repair to Germany. The proverbial thoroughness of the Germans, their mastery of methods, the wealth of their literature, and the liberality with which they pro vide for instruction and assistance in every branch of knowledge, appeal to the strongest instincts and needs of every student who, having resolved to devote his life to the unremunerative service of science, and having availed himself of the best that home in struction affords, still finds himself too poorly equipped for special work.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Universities and Scientific Life, in the United States His book is based on observations and impressions which I gathered during a stay of five months in the United States. As a' biologist, I describe the university landscape above all from the scientific and more specially from the biological point of view, but with the design of making the whole of it understood and of setting it into the gen eral framework of contemporary American society. During the second half-year of 1915 - 16, I had the honor of being Exchange Professor at Harvard Univer sity. And my first word here must be to affirm, once more, the very great utility of exchanges of professors between French and American universities. They are among the most efficacious means of helping the two countries to know, esteem and aid one another. The great mass cannot cross the Atlantic; but if the educa tors of youth have done so, they may help to dissipate many prejudices. They are almost bound, it seems to me, not to keep to themselves the experience acquired, however incomplete their Observations may Often be. That is what has determined me to write the following pages. I wish that they may make better known in France an aspect of American democracy, which is not that under which we are most commonly led to look at it, and also that they may emphasize the efforts which the immediate consequences of the war imperiously oblige us to make without delay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biology and Medicine But while conceding to the fullest extent the practical bene fits which attend the separate cultivation of different depart mentsof biology, I would even more strongly emphasize the essential unity of the biological sciences. In essence these sciences constitute but one science, and the great service of the word biology in its present use is to embody this concep tion. The fundamental problems everywhere in biology are the same, the determination of the structure and the proper ties and. The laws controlling them of living matter. In what ever department knowledge be gained as to these fundamental questions, it is a contribution to all departments of biology. The expansion of our knowledge brings closer together all physical and natural sciences, physics with chemistry, and both with biology. It is of incalculable advantage that the surfaces of contact between the different branches of biological study should be kept clearly in view, and that knowledge gained by one should be made readily available for others. Hence it seems to me that the general plan of organization of these laboratories, providing as they do for Special develop ment in all proper directions of biological study, while retain ing the conception of biology as one science, is eminently wise.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biology: A Lecture Delivered at Columbia University in the Series on Science, Philosophy and Art, November 20, 1907 I must at the outset remark that among the many sciences that are occupied with the study of the living world there is no one that may properly lay exclusive claim to the name of Biology. The word does not, in fact, denote any par ticular science but is a generic term applied to a large group of biological sciences all of which alike are con cerned with the phenomena of life. To present in a single address, even in rudimentary outline, the specific results of these sciences is obviously an impossible task, and one that I have no intention of attempting. I shall offer no more than a kind of preface or introduction to those who will speak after me on the biological sciences of physiology, botany and zoology; and I shall confine it to what seem to me the most essential and characteristic of the general problems towards which all lines of biological inquiry must sooner or later converge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Biology The University assumes no responsibility for Opinions advanced by lecturers in the public courses. After a careful second reading of my Opinions, I have been totally unable to discover a single statement that cannot be most amply sustained by the very best of evi dence, and doubt whether any fair-minded and intelligent Roman Catholic can do otherwise. So much for the history of these lectures, which are now for the first time presented in full to my readers. In most cases science has long been familiar with the facts they set forth; not so, however, I fear, the vast hosts of Catholics in this country, both laymen and clergy. So it is to them, especially, that I dedicate my labors, with the profound hope that they may read and comprehend the truths I have endeavored to convey.

This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Biology From the Biological Departments of the Owens College, Vol. 4 Now that the fellowships cannot be offered any more we may again express our appreciation of the generosity of the anonymous benefactor whose assistance has borne such good fruit. Biology is now left in our College without any fellowship or scholar ship to enable a promising student to devote a year of his life to original investigation before commencing his career as a teacher or medical student, and our well-equipped Research laboratory has couse quently to remain unoccupied during the greater part of the year. We cannot help feeling that if these facts were more generally known some help might be forthcoming from those who realise what Biology has done and is doing for the development of rational methods of modern medical research. It is probable that this volume of the Studies is the last of the series. Original work Will be carried on as usual in the laboratories, but by increasing the list of institutions and persons to whom we send separate copies of our papers as they appear, we hope to avoid in future thenecessity of reprinting them in a volume form. Works in exchange for the Milnes Marshall Zoological library and the library of the Botanical department will at all time be gratefully received. We cannot allow this opportunity to pass without expressing our sense of the loss to Biological science by the death of our friends, Dr. Pollard and Mr. Hick. It was with a heavy heart that we read the proofs of their last contributions to Science. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
