CHEMISTRY.
| Professor Bird. | Mr. Sloan. |
1. Lectures.—Thirty lectures upon the principles of General
Chemistry—Inorganic, Organic and Physical. This course will deal
more with the nature and laws of chemical change in matter than
with detailed descriptions of chemical compounds themselves.
Chemical reactions are classified and discussed from the standpoint
of the more recently accepted theories, and the modern trend of
chemical thought and investigation is dwelt upon as far as occasion
and time permit.
Daily, from 8:45 to 9:45. Professor Bird. West Range Laboratory.
Experimental.—The instruction in this course is suited to the
individual needs or desires of the members, who may take course 1
or not as they see fit. It is offered to teachers of chemistry who
desire coaching in experiments that are suitable for their lecture demonstration
or the laboratory exercises of their pupils (they may use
their own text-books or laboratory manuals); to candidates for admission
to medical and other courses, offered here or elsewhere,
requiring a laboratory course in General Chemistry; and to those
who desire experience in the analytical methods used in industries
examinations for chemical positions.
Those who register as candidates for admission to medical courses,
etc., will be required to attend the lecture course and spend four or
five hours each day, including Saturday, in the laboratory. They will
not be permitted to take any other courses offered in the Summer
School.
The laboratory will be open from 9:00 to 1:30 daily. It is new
and thoroughly equipped to do all the work offered.
In addition to the regular tuition, those who take courses 2 are
charged a laboratory fee of five dollars ($5.00). Apparatus and chemicals
are charged for at cost.
For the benefit of teachers in high schools and academies there
will be on exhibition the apparatus necessary for such courses, together
with catalogue numbers, prices, etc.
Daily, Prof. Bird and Mr. Sloan. Hours to be arranged. West
Range Laboratory.
Credit.—Students who have fulfilled the conditions stated on
pages 9 and 10 and who have completed successfully thirty hours per
week for six weeks in course 2 in Chemistry will be excused from the
laboratory work in Chemistry 1 B of the University course, and need
complete in the winter term only the lectures and examination to
received full credit for Chemistry 1B. Course 1 above and thirty
hours per week of course 2 successfully completed will meet the
entrance requirements to the Medical School of the University.
