For Graduates Only.
For admission to a Ph. D. course in the School of Chemistry 3C and
4D, the previous completion of Course 1 and Course 2C in Analytical
Chemistry, will be required; but this part of the requirement may be
waived, provided satisfactory evidence be furnished that the student has
already made equivalent attainment elsewhere.
Laboratory work will be applied to subjects involving original investigation.
It is desirable that the student shall, himself, as far as possible,
select subjects for investigation, but when he cannot do so, suitable questions
will be presented to him, and he will be encouraged to work them out
for himself, with only such aid and guidance as may prove to be indispensable.
Advanced reading may also be prescribed, especially in the
shape of the literature of particular topics, to be looked up from various
sources and condensed by the student.
Course 4D: Theoretical and Organic Chemistry.—Professor Mallet.
In this course a more advanced study is made of general chemical
theory and a detailed discussion of the compounds of carbon.
Text-Books.—Syllabus of the Professor's Lectures; Bernthsen's Organic Chemistry,
translated by G. McGowan. Recommended for reference: Roscoe and Schorlemmer's
Elements of Chemistry; Lothar Meyer's Outlines of Theoretical Chemistry
(English translation); Watt's Dictionary of Chemistry; Ernst von Meyer's History
of Chemistry.
Course 5D: Advanced Inorganic Chemistry: Laboratory course.
Professor Bird. Three terms; nine hours a week. The classes of inorganic
compounds and their principal reactions are studied experimentally,
especially those upon which Analytical Chemistry is based. This is followed
by the preparation of a number of inorganic compounds. Course
1B or its equivalent is a prerequisite.
Text-Book.—Volhard and Zimmermann's Manual, Renouf's translation.
