Differences in structure. It is evident, even to the casual observer, that plants differ very much in structure. They differ not merely in form and size, but also in complexity. Some plants are simple, others are complex, and the former are regarded as of lower rank. Beginning with the simplest plants that is, those of lowest rank one can pass by almost insensible gradations to those of highest rank. At certain points in this advance notable interruptions of the continuity are discovered, structures, and hence certain habits of work, changing decidedly, and these breaks enable one to organize the vast array of plants into groups. Some of the breaks appear to be more important than others, and opinions may differ as to those of chief importance, but it is customary to select three of them as indicating the division of the plant kingdom into four great groups. 2. The great groups. The four great groups may be indicated here, but it must be remembered that their names mean nothing until plants representing them have been studied.

Excerpt from A Textbook of Botany for Colleges and Universities, Vol. 1: By Members of the Botanical Staff of the University of Chicago; Part I, Morphology We recognize that the presentation of the three great subjects here included is very compact, but the book is not intended for reading and recitation. The teacher is expected to use it for suggestive material and for its organization; the student is expected to use it in relating his observations to one another and to the general points of view that the book seeks to develop. There is a continuity of presentation in each part, so that random selection may miss the largest meaning. For example, in the part on morphology, the thread upon which the facts are strung is the evolution of the plant kingdom, and each plant introduced has its peculiar application in illustrating some phase of this evolution. When certain groups are selected for laboratory study, therefore, the intervening text should be read. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

John Merle Coulter was born on November 20, 1851 at Ningpo, China. He was the son of missionary parents, Moses Stanley and Caroline E. (Crowe) Coulter.
John graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Hanover College in 1870. In 1873 he received the degree of Master of Arts from Hanover College and Doctor of Philosophy degree from Indiana State University in 1884.
In 1872 Coulter was assistant geologist on the Hayden Survey. While the expedition was waiting in the mountains for Hayden, the rest of the party whiled away the time playing cards; but since young Coulter did not know how to play, he collected plants. When Hayden arrived, he was so impressed by Coulter’s collections that he appointed him botanist of the expedition.
The object of the expedition was to look for the rumored hot springs and geysers of what is now Yellowstone Park. When they found the geysers, each member was assigned one of the holes for study. Since Coulter was the youngest member of the party, they assigned him one of the smaller holes. It turned out to be Old Faithful.
The study of his botanical collections took him to Washington, where he met Asa Gray. The meeting was the beginning of a life-long friendship. Coulter became Gray’s most distinguished pupil and with Sereno Watson he edited (1890) the sixth edition of Gray’s famous Manual.
He was professor of natural sciences in Hanover College, 1874-1879, and professor of biology in Wabash College, 1879-1891. He was a lifelong friend of David Starr Jordan, and when Jordan resigned from the presidency of Indiana State University (1891), he persuaded Coulter to succeed him. The politics of a state university and the worry about securing funds from politicians were so distasteful that Coulter resigned in 1893 and became president of Lake Forest University, which he thought was so well endowed that there would be no financial problems. Even at Lake Forest, however, administrative duties interfered seriously with his chosen work and he went to the University of Chicago (1896), where he was able to devote nearly thirty years to building up a strong department and to training young men and women for teaching and research.
After retiring from active teaching in 1925 he became adviser to the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research at Yonkers, New York, for the foundation of which he was largely responsible. His early training and teaching in botany were taxonomic; but when the nomenclature controversy promised to make the taxonomy of the next twenty years a quarrel over the names of plants, he turned to morphology, and nearly all of the research done under his direction at the University of Chicago belonged to this field.
Nevertheless he was broad-minded and sympathetic in his attitude toward other phases of botany. He called Prof. Charles R. Barnes to Chicago to develop plant physiology and gave to Prof. Henry C. Cowles such an opportunity to develop the new field of ecology that this branch has become recognized as one of the fundamentals of a botanical education. In 1875, while at Hanover College, he founded the Botanical Gazette, which he not only edited, but also managed and often financed. Reviews of the critical type, as distinguished from the colorless type of abstracting journals, have always been a feature of the Gazette, and Coulter’s reviews are models of this kind of writing.
He wrote several manuals and botanical text-books, among which were: Manual of the Botany of the Rocky Mountain Region (1885), Manual of Texan Botany (1893), Plant Relations (1899), Plant Structures (1899), and Plant Slttdies (1900). Besides these there were taxonomic monographs and shorter articles.
What would have been his greatest contribution, a history of botany, will probably never be completed. For years he had been gathering material, and, occasionally, in lectures he had given glimpses of what the work might be. He had just completed a collection of biographical sketches when he died.
Coulter is remembered for his significant influence through his numerous books and papers and for the training of the hundreds of graduate students, who formed the first group of American-educated botanists. No other American botanist has so many students holding high positions. He was also noted as the founder of the Botanical Gazette, which became the leading botanical journal of America. He received all the major honors his fellows botanists could bestow upon him. Before his death, his students had already established the John M. Coulter Research Fellowship in Botany, to support exceptional students engaged in research.

Coulter belonged to botanical organizations at home and abroad. In 1901, he was the general secretary of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and in 1918 served as the Association's president. From 1897 to 1898, he was the president of the Botanical Society of America.
