386-387-388. Advanced Chemical Laboratory. [Edgar.]
Hours by appointment.
This laboratory course of six hours per week in Fall and Winter and
three hours per week in Spring is designed particularly to fit the student
for research and the work consists largely of special problems assigned
individually. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
Advanced Courses: Seminars will be offered in the different branches
of Chemistry to students applying for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
The courses will be offered only as occasion demands, and the subjects
treated will vary. These courses will be designated as "D" courses,
but owing to the flexibility which it is desired to secure in the subject
matter, no definite statement of them will be made except that special
phases of Physical, Inorganic, and Analytical chemistry will be treated,
including such subjects as radio-chemistry, the chemistry of the rare
elements, colloid and surface chemistry, etc. Research work looking toward
a thesis will accompany these courses.
The Chemical Journal Club will meet once a week (hour to be arranged)
for the critical review and discussion of various topics of interest
in current chemical literature and of such chemical researches as are
in progress in the University. All members of the teaching staff and advanced
students in chemistry are expected to participate in these meetings
and to take part in the discussions.
Fellowships: The University announces the establishment of five
Teaching Fellowships in Chemistry, each with an honorarium of $500.
These fellowships present the opportunity for graduate study and research
in Chemistry, accompanied by a limited amount of instructional work.
Holders of the fellowships will be expected to devote not more than fifteen
hours a week to instruction, leaving ample time for research and work
toward the graduate degree. The fellowships are open to men who have
received a bachelor's degree from a college or university of recognized
standing, and who have received thorough undergraduate training in
chemistry and physics.
