 GRADUATE FACULTY 1971-72
 OTIS, A. B., Chairman; CASSIN, S.; DAWSON, W. W.; DRAGSTEDT, L. R.;
 FREGLY, M. J.; JAEGER, M. J.; KING, R. L.; MUNSON, J. B.; STAINSBY, W. N.

 Graduate Coordinator: M. J. FREGLY
 Prerequisites: Undergraduate majors that are appropriate foundations for
 the study of physiology are biology, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, or
 physics. The following courses are especially useful as a background for
 the study of physiology: general biology, vertebrate biology, general chemistry,
 analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, general physics,
 calculus, and statistics. Students usually find it necessary to remedy deficiencies
 in their background by taking a few undergraduate courses after admission
 to Graduate School.
 Course requirements: Most students will take the following unless equiva-
