University of Virginia Library

For Graduates and Undergraduates.

Course C1: Quantitative Analysis: Course B1 Anal. is prerequisite.
—The work of this course is also given in three lessons a week
throughout the session, each being followed by four hours ro 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. 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; Wochler's Examples
for Practice in Chemical Analysis; and Assaying Notes of the Professor.

Course C2: 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 metal
lurgy and uses 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; disinfectants, soap, paper, etc.

A clear comprehension of all lines of Industrial manufacture
is the aim proposed in this course, a 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 B1, C1, C2, in this
school, together with chemistry B1, B2, C1, are prepared for entering
upon work in these several lines of industry.
