 (b) Major in Soil Chemistry and Microbiology

 The curriculum in soil chemistry and microbiology is especially adapted for stu-
dents who wish to do experimental work in soils, to teach in agricultural colleges or to
do graduate work in soils. This curriculum provides carefully selected groups of
courses in the basic sciences in addition to special courses in soils. Students intending
to major in soil microbiology should elect BTY. 101-102, General Botany, instead of
C-6, as well as the required agricultural electives in the University College. Students
intending to major in soil chemistry should take MS. 253-254 instead of C-41-42, and
take PS. 101-102 and PS. 103-104, in addition to the agricultural electives required in
the University College.
