This is merely a bookkeeping item. Senate has already
given provisional approval to these courses in an earlier meeting.
At that time, the courses had not come before Senate with a Faculty
recommendation due to insufficient time before the beginning of the
fall semester. When giving provisional approval, Senate requested
that these courses be brought forth again through the normal channels
to Senate for final approval.
•
The enclosed course descriptions and prerequisites have
been discussed in the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee of the
Faculty of Science,and the Faculty of Science in its meeting of
November 17th unanimously supported the Committee's recommendation
to ask Senate to give final approval to these courses. I hereby ask
Senate to give such approval.

that he can read the current literature.
Topics include the biophysics of photoreceptors,
vision and colour; the photochemistry of vision,
photosynthesis and bioluminescence; and the physical
chemistry of biological membranes and nerve
condition.
