For Undergraduates and Graduates.
Course 2C: Industrial Chemistry.—Professor Mallet. This course
is concerned with the applications of chemistry to the purposes of human
life. It examines in detail the chemical principles and processes specially
involved in the more important arts and manufactures.
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; Girardin's Leçons de Chimie Elémentaire appliquée aux Arts Industriels;
W. E. Roberts-Austen's Introduction to the Study of Metallurgy; Sadtler's HandBook
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.
In both courses there are one or more reviews each week of the
subjects under discussion, involving questions put by, as well as to, the
students; and exercises in writing are given out to afford practice in the
calculations which are needed by the chemist.
Course 3C: Organic Chemistry: Laboratory course. Professor
Bird. Three terms; six hours a week. The principal reactions and properties
of the different classes of compounds of carbon are studied experimentally
and the more important compounds are prepared. Two terms
of this course are taken by medical students during their first year.
Course 1B or its equivalent is a prerequisite.
Text-Book.—Remsen's Organic Chemistry.
