The Iowa Lakeside Laboratory: A Century of Discovering the Nature of Nature

Appendixes

appendixes APPENDIX 1. Course offerings at the Iowa Lakeside Lab, 1946–1966. As you can see, the curriculum expanded, at first slowly and then more rapidly, until by 1964 it reached ten courses offered per summer. The curriculum has hovered around this number, which has generally been regarded as capacity, ever since. 1946 1947 1948 1949 1950 1951 1952 1953 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 Field biology • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Protozoology • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Biology of mosses • • • • • • • • • • Algology • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Plant taxonomy • • • • • • • • • • • • • Limnology • • • • • • Parasitology (helminthology) • • • • • • • • • • • • • Plant ecology • • • Lower plants • Aquatic biology/ecology • • • • • • • • • • Biology of bryophytes • • Field mycology • • • • • • • Biology of freshwater fishes • • • • • Plant reproduction • Field entomology • • • • • Diatom clinic • • • Pleistocene landforms • Total number of courses offered 2 3 3 3 3 3 5 6 7 7 8 8 8 7 8 7 9 8 10 9 10 APPENDIX 2. Course offerings at the Iowa Lakeside Lab, 1967–1983. Note the nearly continuous expansion of new course offerings, as traditional courses were either temporarily or permanently taken off the books. Some courses, such as aquatic ecology and diatoms, were constant through this period. Others, such as field biology, were split into field botany and prairie ecology. In any given year, the number of courses offered ranged from eight to eleven. 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 Field biology • • • • • • • • • • • • • Protozoology • • • • • • • • • Aquatic ecology • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Helminthology • • • • • • • • • • • Algae • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Plant taxonomy • • • • • • • • • • • • • Diatoms • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Pleistocene landforms • • • • Field mycology • • • • • • • • Plant ecology • Field entomology • • • • • • • • Aquatic plants/botany • • • • • • Field biology of angiosperms • • Biology of lower green plants • • • Floristic botany • Field invertebrate zoology • • • • • • Field acarology • Biology of mollusks • Bryophytes & pteridophytes • • • • Ornithology • • • • • Field parasitology • • • Field botany • • • • Endangered species • • Prairie ecology • • • • Symbiosis biology • Insect ecology & behavior • Fish ecology • • Total number of courses offered 8 10 10 10 11 11 9 10 9 10 8 8 9 10 10 9 11 APPENDIX 3.
