Primarily for Graduates.
Course 4D: Advanced Analytical Chemistry.—This graduate course
is designed for those seeking the degree of Ph. D., and also for such
students as desire to increase the range of their experience as
analysts, and to cultivate their powers of original investigation.
It is required for those who enter this course that they shall have
previously completed courses 1B, 2C and 3C in this School and
Courses 1B, 2B and 3C in the School of Chemistry, or that they shall
have previously made equivalent attainments elsewhere.
Laboratory work will be conducted daily, and suggestions and
due assistance will be given in its prosecution.
While the work is adapted to the special aims or tastes of each
student, it will in all cases comprise some practice in the more
elaborate processes of analysis, ultimate and proximate organic
analysis, some study in analytical methods and some original problems,
also the reading and the summarizing of extracts from current
journals, and, for all who are seeking the degree of Ph. D., a dissertation
embodying the results of some original research.
The Analytical Laboratory is a building planned and erected for
the purpose. It is warmed throughout by hot water, completely
fitted with the most approved appliances, and stocked with apparatus,
models, materials, and specimens. The main working room is furnished
with work-tables, gas, water, and all proper fixtures; smaller
rooms are devoted to weighing, evaporations, assaying, etc., and all
requisite apparatus, chemicals, minerals, materials for analysis, etc.,
are kept constantly supplied by home purchases and importation.
