CHEMISTRY.

300-301-302 General Chemistry. [Bird and Instructors.]

Lectures 10-11, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.

The fundamental principles and phenomena, of inorganic, organic
and physical chemistry are discussed, and the foundations of analytical
chemistry are dealt with at appropriate places. Most of the
time is devoted to inorganic phenomena. No previous study of
chemistry is demanded.

[Required respectively, Fall, Winter, Spring, in Courses I,
II, III, IV, V (1).]

are prerequisite.)

Some knowledge of the calculus is required, and previous work
in Physics is desirable. This course will include work upon such
topics as the gas laws, kinetic theory of gases, the properties of dilute
solutions, osmotic pressure, the determination of molecular
weights, mass action, reaction velocity and equilibrium, electrolysis
and electrolytic dissociation, the phase rule, etc.

309-310-311 Organic Chemistry. [Edgar.]

Lectures 9-10, Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

(Courses 300-1-2 and 350-1-2 or their equivalent are prerequisite.)

This course is intended to serve as an introduction to the general
subject of Organic Chemistry, including chemical synthesis and the
theories of molecular structure, as applied to the compounds of
Carbon. This course is optional but it is recommended for those
who may have sufficient advanced standing to enable them to give
the time to it.

[Optional in Course IV.]

312-313-314 Advanced Organic Chemistry. [Edgar.]

Lectures three hours a week by appointment.

(Courses 300-1-2, 350-1-2, 309-10-11 and 359-60-1 or their equivalent
prerequisite.)

The work of the first term consists of lectures and recitations on
the History of Chemical Development and Theory. The second and
third terms consist of lectures, etc., on Advanced Organic Chemistry,
making use of the most recent and comprehensive treatises on this
subject. This course is optional and may be substituted for 306-7-8
if the student is adequately prepared in organic chemistry.

[Optional (see above) for 306-7-8 in Course IV (4).]

330-331-332 Analytical Chemistry. [Dunnington.]

Lectures 10-11, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.

The course consists of three lectures a week, throughout the session,
followed by practical experiments in the laboratory. Weekly
written exercises are required. The work is divided among the three
terms as follows: First Term; A course in Chemical manipulation,
Blowpipe Analysis, Recognition of Ores, Fire Assaying of ores of
Lead, Gold and Silver. Second Term; A systematic course in Inorganic
Qualitative Analysis. Third Term; Practice in the analysis
of salts, alloys and ores, and the examination of potable water, coal,
limestone, clay and so on, including some simpler quantitative determinations.

[Required respectively, Fall, Winter, Spring, in Courses IV
(2); V (4).]

333-334-335 Analytical Chemistry. [Dunnington.]

Lectures 10-11, Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

The work of this course is also given in three lessons a week
throughout the session. This course is primarily one in Quantitative
Analysis. After some training in manipulation and gravimetric estimations,
the class pursues volumetric estimations and a full course
in Quantitative Analysis of minerals, ores, coal, soil, iron and steel,
technical products, and so on. Weekly written exercises are required.
As the student advances in the course he is encouraged to
undertake original research and assist in its prosecution; and in determining
his fitness for graduation, work of this kind is considered
as having much weight.

[Required respectively, Fall, Winter, Spring, in Course
IV (3).]

336 Industrial Chemistry. [Dunnington.]

Lectures 3-4, Monday, Wednesday, Friday; Quiz 12-1 Tuesday.

This course is concerned with the applications of chemistry to the
purposes of human life. Three lectures a week are devoted to the
metallurgy and uses of iron, steel, copper and all the more important
metals. Manufacture of pottery, brick, lime, cement and explosives.
Exercises in chemical computations are regularly required.

[Required, Fall, in Courses I, II, III, IV (4); V (3).]

337-338 Industrial Chemistry. [Dunnington.]

Lectures 3-4, Monday, Wednesday, Friday; Quiz 12-1, Tuesday.

A continuation of 336 given in three lectures a week during Winter
and Spring Terms respectively. The first part deals with the manufacture
of acids, alkalies, salts, fertilizers and glass, preparation of
foods and water. The second part considers the preparation of
starch products and flavorings, the chemistry of dyeing and tanning,
rubber, paints, lubricants, disinfectants, lighting, heating and refrigeration.
Exercises in chemical computations are regularly required.

[Required respectively, Winter, Spring, in Courses IV (4);
V (3).]

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,
