(from May 19, 1899) “While the courses of instruction heretofore offered will be maintained by an exceptionally strong staff, three entirely new courses have been added, these courses in (Cytology, Physiology and Psychology) being under the immediate supervision of men eminently fitted for their work…The course in General and Comparative Physiology will be conducted by Dr. Loeb, assisted by Drs. Norman, Lyon and Mathews, and will consist of laboratory work and lectures.”

“In addition to the regular courses of instruction in Zoology, Embryology and Botany, there was given last year, under the direction of Professor Loeb, a course on Comparative Physiology. Such a course can be given advantageously only at the seashore where living animals of all classes may be had in abundance. In the organization of this course the Woods Holl Laboratory has taken a unique and advanced position which cannot fail to yield valuable results not only to research but also to physiological instruction throughout the country.”
