SCHOOL OF CHEMISTRY.
Professor Bird.
Associate Professor Edgar.
Mr. Watson.
Mr. Carter.
Mr. Diggs.
Mr. Brown.
Required for Admission to the Work of the School: The general
entrance requirements.
All students taking courses in Chemistry are required to pay
for each course, in addition to the regular tuition fee, a laboratory
fee of $10, and to make a special deposit of $5 to cover breakage of
apparatus.
For Undergraduates.
Chemistry B1: 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 places. Most of the time is devoted to inorganic
phenomena. No previous study of chemistry is demanded,
(B. A. or B. S. credit, 6 session-hours.) 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, Mr. Watson, Mr. Carter, and assistants.
Students entering in January, with adequate preparation, will
be admitted to Chemistry B1, above, and will receive full credit for
the course on completing the work of the first term at some subsequent
time.
Chemistry B2: Organic Chemistry: Course B1 or its equivalent,
prerequisite.—This course is intended to serve as an introduction to the
general subject of Organic Chemistry, including chemical synthesis
of Carbon. In the laboratory standard methods of synthesis, as
well as the preparation from natural sources, of important organic
substances will be studied experimentally. (B. A. or B. S. credit, 6
session-hours.) Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 9-10. Laboratory,
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 2-4. Associate Professor Edgar, Mr.
Diggs, and assistants.
For Graduates and Undergraduates.
Chemistry C1: Physical Chemistry: (Course B1 and B1 Anal., or
their equivalents, prerequisite).—Some knowledge of the Calculus is required,
and previous work in Physics is desirable. This course will
include work upon such topics as the gas laws, kinetic theory of
gases, the properties of dilute solutions, osmotic pressure, the determination
of molecular weights, mass action, reaction velocity and
equilibrium, electrolysis and electrolytic dissociation, the phase rule,
etc. The laboratory work will consist of a thorough course in
physico-chemical methods, including the measurement of electrolytic
conductivity, electromotive force, etc. Toward the end of the course
the student will be required to do a limited amount of research on
some chemical problem suggested by the instructor. Hours by appointment.
Associate Professor Edgar.
Chemistry C2: Advanced Organic Chemistry (Courses B1 and B2,
or their equivalent, prerequisite).—The work of the first term consists
of lectures and recitations on the History of Chemical Development
and Theory, with laboratory work illustrative of fundamental chemical
laws.
The second and third terms consist of lectures, laboratory work,
etc., on advanced organic chemistry, making use of the most recent
and comprehensive treatises on this subject. During the third term
the student will be required to do a limited amount of research on
some subject suggested by the instructor. Hours by appointment.
Associate Professor Edgar.
For Graduates.
Chemistry D1: Advanced Inorganic Chemistry: Courses B1, C1
and Analytical Chemistry C1, or their equivalent, 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.
Chemistry D2: Advanced Physical Chemistry: Courses B1, C1
and Analytical Chemistry C1, or their equivalent, are prerequisite.—This
work will be arranged for the individual student. It is intended for
those seeking the degree of Doctor of Philosophy who elect to do
work in Physical Chemistry. Hours by appointment. Associate Professor
Edgar.
The Chemical Journal Club.
The Chemical Journal Club meets every other week, on Tuesdays
from 11-12, in Dr. Bird'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.
For summer-school courses in Chemistry, on which college-credit
will be allowed, see p. 278.
