SCHOOL OF ANALYTICAL AND INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY.
Professor Dunnington.
Mr. Dinwiddie.
Students taking courses in Analytical Chemistry are required to
pay a special tuition fee of $40 for each course taken. Each student
is required, also, to pay a laboratory fee of $10, and to make a deposit
of $10 for one course, $15 for two courses, to cover the cost of
apparatus.
For Graduates and Undergraduates.
Analytical Chemistry C1: Quantitative Analysis: Course B1 Anal.
is prerequisite.—The work of this course is also given in three lessons
a week throughout the session, each being followed by four
hours or more of practical laboratory work. 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. Monday,
Wednesday, Friday, 10-11. Laboratory hours by appointment. The
laboratory is open to students six days in the week, during all the
working hours of the day. Analytical Laboratory. Professor Dunnington,
Mr. Dinwiddie.
Students who accomplish the work of classes B1, B2, C1, in this
school, together with Chemistry B1, B2, C1, are prepared for entering
upon work in these several lines of industry.
Primarily for Graduates.
Analytical Chemistry D1: This 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 for those who enter this course that they shall
have previously completed courses Analytical Chemistry B1, Industrial
Chemistry B1, and Analytical Chemistry C1 in this school and
Courses B1, B2, and C1 in the School of 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. Professor
Dunnington.
The Analytical 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,
furnished with work-tables, gas, water, and all proper fixtures;
smaller rooms are devoted to weighing, evaporations, assaying, etc.
