Primarily for Graduates.
Course D1: 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 B1, C1, C2 in this School and
Courses B1, B2, and C1 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. Professor
Dunnington.
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.
