Excerpt from A Handbook of Vertebrate Dissection, Vol. 1: How to Dissect a Chelonian
In the past five years, during which I have been responsible for the direction of biological studies in the Johns Hopkins University, I have endeavored to arrange the curriculum so as to ensure that each stu dent, before taking up any one branch of biology for special study, shall have acquired a fairly good know1 edge Of what may be called general biology. NO um dergraduate is permitted to devote his time to the study of botany, or animal morphology or physiology, until he has spent at least one year in learning some thing about animals and plants in general. Such a course is indisputably far better than one more specially botanical or zoological for those who merely desire some knowledge of biological science as a part Of general education and I have been yearly more firmly convinced that it affords also the best beginning for the student who desires to become ultimately a botanist, zoologist, or physiologist.
