Chemistry 300-1-2 and 315-16-17 prerequisite.

Some knowledge of the calculus is required and previous training in
Physics is desirable. This course treats of such topics as the gas laws,
kinetic theory of gases, the properties of dilute solutions, molecular weights,
mass action, reaction velocities, electrolysis and electromotive force, the
phase rule, etc. Emphasis is placed upon the application of physico-chemical
laws in the solution of chemical problems. The laboratory work consists
of a course in physico-chemical measurements. Lecture and Recitation
3 hours per week, 6 hours laboratory. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)

359-360-361. Organic Chemistry Laboratory.

2:30-5:30, T. Th.

Chemistry 300-1-2 prerequisite.

An introduction to the study of the compounds of carbon, including the
application of modern chemical theory to such compounds and their reactions.
(Fall, Winter, Spring.)

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

2:30-3:30, M. W. F.

362-363-364. Advanced Organic Chemistry Laboratory.

9 hours per week.

Chemistry 309-10-11 and 303-4-5 prerequisite.

The lectures deal with selected topics in organic chemistry. Reading from
the scientific journals, advanced texts, and the history of Chemistry will be
assigned. The laboratory work involves a study of typical problems, designed
to teach methods of investigation which are widely applicable. (Fall, Winter,
Spring.)

315-316-317. Qualitative Analysis. [Swan and Assistants.]

8:30-9:30, T. Th. S.

365-366-367. Qualitative Analysis Laboratory.

2:30-5:30, T. Th.

Chemistry 300-1-2 prerequisite.

Fall and Winter terms, 3 hours to lecture and 6 hours of laboratory
work per week, devoted to the study of systematic qualitative analysis.
Spring term, 2 hours of lecture and 9 hours of laboratory work per week,
devoted to elementary quantitative analysis. In the lectures and recitation
work special emphasis is given to the theoretical foundations of analytical
chemistry. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)

318-319-320. Quantitative Analysis. [Swan and Assistants.]

Lecture by appointment.

368-369-370. Quantitative Analysis Laboratory.

2:30-5:30, M. W.

Chemistry 315-16-17 prerequisite.

A course in the principles of quantitative analysis. The laboratory work
will include a study of characteristic procedures, illustrating gravimetric and
volumetric analysis. 1 hour of lecture and 6 hours of laboratory work per
week. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)

321-322-323. Technical Analysis. [Swan.]

Lecture by appointment.

371-372-373. Technical Analysis Laboratory.

Hours by appointment.

Chemistry 318-19-20 prerequisite.

This course will consist of a study of the application of the principles of
quantitative analysis to technical materials. The work will be selected from
such subjects as Rock, Ore, Steel, Gas, Coal, and Water Analysis. 1 hour
of lecture and 6 hours of laboratory work per week. This course is elective
for Course 386-387-388. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)

340-341-342. Applied Chemistry. [Edgar.]

9:30-10:30, T. Th. S.

Chemistry 309-10-11 and 303-4-5 prerequisite.

The lectures and recitations in this course will be devoted to the study
of fundamental principles underlying the more important phases of industrial
chemistry, including both theoretical and economic problems. A considerable
amount of reading in descriptive industrial chemistry will be assigned, and
written reports upon special subjects will be required. Lectures and Recitations
3 hours a week. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)

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 students
for research and the work consists largely of special problems assigned individually.
Elective for 321-22-23. (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 followships 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.
