For Graduates Only.
The 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 of those who enter this course that they shall have previously
completed Courses 1 and 2C, in this School, and Courses 1B, 2C,
3C, and 4D in that of General 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.
The Chemical 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 commodious lecture-room, with work and storeroom
attached, is provided with every convenience for exhibiting a complete
series of experiments illustrating the lectures on General Chemistry.
The Analytical Laboratory will accommodate forty working students, and
is furnished with work-tables, gas, water, and all proper laboratory fixtures;
smaller rooms are devoted to weighing, evaporations, assaying,
etc., and all requisite apparatus, chemicals, minerals, materials for analysis,
etc., are kept constantly supplied by home purchases and importation.
