PHYSIOLOGY AND EUGENICS.

On the final examination paper in Zoology 2, the new course on Genetics and Eugenics, the instructor asked for suggestions to make the course more interesting or valuable. We have one general suggestion which would, if it could be put into effect, be of great value. Since Physiology 1 has been put beyond the reach of many students, perhaps some of its more general phases might be incorporated in Zoology 2. As it was, the new course spent several weeks' reading on a review of Biology, which might give an opportunity for the addition of some Physiology. Of course, such a change would depart somewhat from the concrete subject of the course, but, on the other hand, Hygiene and Preventive Medicine deal intimately with Eugenics. We make this suggestion, not to ask for a change in Zoology 2, but to find, if possible, some way of giving more students a chance to learn something of the fundamentals of an all-important subject.
