SCHOOL OF CHEMISTRY.
Professor Kastle.
Professor Bird.
Adjunct Professor Edgar.
Mr. Watson.
Mr. Patton.
Mr. Haden.
Required for Admission to the Work of the School: The General
Entrance Examination.
In this School the following courses are offered:
For Undergraduates.
Course 1B: General Chemistry.—The fundamental principles and
phenomena, of inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry are discussed,
and the foundations of analytical chemistry are dealt with at appropriate
study of chemistry is demanded. Section I, Monday, Wednesday,
Friday, 11-12; Section II, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, 10-11. Laboratory,
6 hours a week. West Range Chemical Laboratory. Professor Bird,
Adjunct Professor Edgar, Mr. Watson, Mr. Patton, and assistants.
Students entering in January, with adequate preparation, will be
admitted to Chemistry 1B, above, and will receive full credit for the
course on completing the work of the first term at some subsequent time.
Course 2B: Organic and Physical Chemistry: Course 1B (or its
equivalent) prerequisite.—The first half of the year is devoted to the
study of Organic Chemistry. The lectures and recitations are intended to
serve as an introduction to the General Subject of Organic Chemistry,
including chemical synthesis and molecular structure as illustrated by
Carbon Compounds. In the laboratory one or more compounds, representative
of the more important classes of organic substances, will be
prepared and studied experimentally.
The second half of the year is devoted to physical chemistry. The
lectures, recitations and laboratory work will include such topics as the
gas laws and the kinetic theory of gases, the properties of dilute solutions,
osmetic pressure, methods for the determination of molecular
weights, mass action, reaction velocity and equilibrium, electrolysis and
electrolytic dissociation, affinity of acids, the phase rule, etc.
These two subjects, viz.: Organic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry,
under Course 2B, will count as one elective towards the B. A. or B. S.
degree. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 9-10. Laboratory. Monday, Wednesday,
Friday, 2-4. Chemical Laboratory. Professor Kastle, Adjunct Professor
Edgar.
For Graduates and Undergraduates.
Course 3C: Historical, Theoretical and Organic Chemistry: Courses
1B and 2B (or their equivalents) prerequisite.—The work of the first
term consists of lectures and recitations on historical and theoretical
chemistry, together with laboratory work illustrative of fundamental
chemical laws, and will be found to be especially helpful to those who
expect to become teachers of Chemistry in high schools and colleges.
The work of the second and third terms consists of lectures, recitations
and laboratory work on advanced organic Chemistry. Instruction in this
subject will be based on the most recent and comprehensive treatises on the
subject and the laboratory work will include the synthesis and study of
the more important and representative organic compounds. During the
third term the student will be expected to devote himself to the thorough
study of some particular class of organic compounds and will be required
to do a limited amount of research on some chemical problem suggested
Wednesday, Friday, 2-5. Chemical Laboratory. Professor Kastle.
Primarily for Graduates.
Course 4D: Advanced Inorganic Chemistry: Courses 1B and 2B
(or their equivalents) are prerequisite.—The lectures deal with the fundamental
theories and laws of chemical action. Parallel reading in the
history of Chemistry is required. In the laboratory the study of chemical
reactions is taken up in an advanced way, and when the student has
shown proper fitness he undertakes work upon some special problem in
inorganic Chemistry. Hours by appointment. Professor Bird.
The Chemical Journal Club.
The Chemical Journal Club meets once a week, on Saturdays from
11-12 a. m., in Dr. Kastle's lecture-room, for the critical review and
discussion of various topics of interest in current chemical literature,
and of such chemical researches as may be in progress in the university.
All instructors and advanced students in chemistry are expected to
participate in these meetings and to take part in the discussions.
The privileges of the club are extended to all persons in the university
or in the vicinity of Charlottesville who are interested in the
progress of chemistry.
