It will not consider the structure of matter; it will be concerned with organic evolution, rather than both organic and inorganic. Physics, chemistry, and some of the more remote branches of science must be slighted. But its lecturers, leaders in their subjects, will be able to put into the course a meaning and a completeness which is at present lacking; while the one laboratory period, if properly conducted, can provide the desired introduction to scientific method, without undue drudgery.
