University of Virginia Library

For Graduates and Undergraduates.

Course 2C: Quantitative Analysis: Course 1B is prerequisite.—The
work of this course is also given in three lessons a week throughout the
session, each being followed by four hours or more of practical laboratory
work. After some training in manipulation and gravimetric estimations,
the class pursues volumetric estimations and a full course in Quantitative
Analysis of minerals, ores, coal, soil, iron and steel, technical products,
and so on. Weekly written exercises are required. As the student advances
in the course he is encouraged to undertake original research
and assist in its prosecution; and in determining his fitness for graduation,
work of this kind is considered as having much weight. Monday,
Wednesday, Friday, 10-11. Laboratory hours by appointment. Analytical
Laboratory. Professor Dunnington, Mr. Woodson, Mr. Dinwiddie.

The Laboratory is open to students six days in the week, during all
the working hours of the day.

Students may register either for the first course, or for both courses
at the same time; candidates for the M. A. elective are required to
complete both courses. Those who accomplish this are prepared for work
as Analytical Chemists, Assayers, Druggists, or Teachers of Chemistry.

Among the works recommended to laboratory students are: Fresenius' Qualitative
and Quantitative Analysis, A. I. Cohn; J. H. Long's Qualitative Analysis
(3d ed.); Greville William's Hand-book of Chemical Manipulation; Woehler's
Examples for Practice in Chemical Analysis; and Assaying Notes of the
Professor.

Course 3C: Industrial Chemistry.—The work of this course is given
in three lectures a week throughout the session. A detailed study is
made of the chemical principles and processes of the more important
manufacturing industries, upon which, in large measure, depend the
development of the natural resources of the country.

Among the more important subjects discussed are: the metallurgy
of the principal METALS, the manufacture of acids, alkalies, salts, glass,
pottery and fertilizers; the preparation and preservation of FOOD, including
bread, meat, sugar, etc.; the chemical arts relating to CLOTHING
such as bleaching, dyeing and tanning; the chemistry of arts concerning
BUILDING, including the manufacture of brick, lime and cement; the
production of artificial lights and heating; soap, paper, etc.

A clear comprehension of all lines of Industrial manufacture is the
aim proposed in this course, and this is preparation needed by students
who expect to enter upon any branch of such work. Since these lectures
are designed to give some accurate information about materials with
which every one is concerned in daily life, it is judged that they will
afford a valuable addition to a general education.

The subjects specially related to Agriculture are treated in different
portions of this course. There is a weekly quiz and occasional written
exercises are required. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 3-4. Analytical
Laboratory. Professor Dunnington.

Text-Books.—F. H. Thorp's Outlines of Industrial Chemistry; Huntington
& McMillan's Metals, their Properties and Treatment. Recommended for reference:
Richardson and Watt's Chemical Technology; T. E. Thorpe's Dictionary
of Applied Chemistry: W. E. Roberts-Austen's Introduction to the Study of
Metallurgy: Sadtler's Hand-Book of Industrial Organic Chemistry, etc.

The collections of the University in illustration of the processes and
products of Industrial Chemistry have been procured at much expense
and pains in this country, England, France, and Germany, and are unusually
extensive and good; among the best on this side of the Atlantic.

Students who accomplish the work of classes 1B, 2C and 3C, together
with chemistry 1B, 2B and 3C, are prepared for entering upon work in
these several lines of industry.
