technical plant sciences as well as in other biological sciences and advanced botanical
sciences.
 Students in Agriculture and Arts and Sciences who major in botany should take
BTY. 101 and 102 while in the University College. Also, while in the University Col-
lege students majoring in botany will take the courses required for Agriculture, and
those planning the Arts and Sciences degree with a botany major will take the courses
prescribed by that college. In addition to BTY. 101 and 102, students planning to major
in botany will take a minimum of 20 credit hours, including the required courses and
electives selected with approval of head of the department or the major professor of his

 (c) Major in Plant Pathology

 The curriculum in plant pathology is intended to acquaint the student with the
causes of failure or depreciation of plants by diseases and methods for preventing them,
and to prepare him for independent activity in certain fields of agriculture, for employ-
ment as an assistant in research, or to pursue graduate study toward advanced degrees.
Students intending to major in plant pathology should in the freshman year elect SH.
33-34 or GN. 33-34 and substitute MS. 105-106 for C-4; and in the sophomore year
elect CY. 123, 205 and PS. 101-102 in the University College curriculum.
