PHYSICS.
1. High School Physics for Teachers.—The topics treated in this
course will be mechanics, heat, and sound. It will be accompanied by
four hours laboratory work per week, the student performing about
twenty-five experiments in Millikan and Gale's Manual.
Text-Book.—Millikan and Gale's First Course in Physics.
Daily, lectures, from 12:15 to 1:15. Professor Hoxton. Rouss
Physical Laboratory, Room 20.
Monday and Tuesday, laboratory, from 8:30 to 10:30. Professor
Hoxton. Rouss Physical Laboratory, Room 21.
2. High School Physics for Teachers.—The topics treated in this
course will be magnetism, electricity, and light. It will be accompanied
by four hours laboratory work per week, the student performing
about twenty-five experiments in Millikan and Gale's
Manual.
Text-Book.—Millikan and Gale's First Course in Physics.
Daily, lectures, from 10:30 to 11:30. Professor Hoxton. Rouss
Physical Laboratory, Room 20.
Wednesday and Thursday, laboratory, from 8:30 to 10:30. Professor
Hoxton. Rouss Physical Laboratory, Room 21.
Note.—Courses 1 and 2 will consist of recitations based upon the
text, accompanied by suitable illustrations and experimental demonstrations
by the instructor. The apparatus used in every case will
equipment of the average high school. The laboratory work will
give the student ample opportunity to familiarize himself with laboratory
methods and apparatus; whenever necessary the experiments
will be abbreviated so as to allow the student to become acquainted
with all those belonging to the subjects treated without the expenditure
of any more time than indicated. A number of lecture-table
experiments will be conducted in order to clear up difficult points,
but the usual method of recitation will be the discussion of assigned
topics and such questions as may arise, as it is desired that these
courses be practical and helpful.
3. Laboratory Course in Physics.—This course is designed for
students and teachers who may have had the equivalent of Courses
1 and 2 without much laboratory work. The student will perform
and report fully all the experiments in the text used.
Text.—Millikan and Gale's Laboratory Course in Physics.
Daily, from 8:30 to 11:30. Professor Hoxton. Rouss Physical
Laboratory, Room 21.
4. Physics—Training in Laboratory Arts.—This course aims to give
teachers instruction in devising simple apparatus, such as siphons,
pipettes, air thermometers, hydrometers, Boyle's law tubes, barometers,
vacuum tubes, electrolysis tubes, water hammers, silvered
mirrors, magnets, compass needles, dip needles, galvanoscopes, galvanometers,
resistance coils, etc. Where possible apparatus will be
made to meet the needs of the individual student. The materials
needed will be supplied by the Summer School and the apparatus made
will belong to the student making it.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, 8:30 to 10:30. Professor
Hoxton. Rouss Physical Laboratory, Room 21.
Note.—A laboratory fee of two dollars will be charged for Course
4. In each of courses 1, 2, 3, and 4 there must be an enrollment of
at least four students in order that the course be given.
5. General Physics.—This course is designed for those desiring the
equivalent of college work, and will cover the topics of mechanics,
heat and sound, which will be considered by lectures, experimental
demonstrations, and problems.
Text-Book.—Duff's Text-Book of Physics.
Daily, from 8:30 to 10. Professor Guthrie. Rouss Physical Laboratory,
Room 20.
6. Laboratory Course.—This course is parallel to Course 5 and
should accompany it.
Text-Book.—Ames and Bliss' Manual of Experiments in Physics.
Daily, from 10 to 1. Professor Guthrie. Rouss Physical Laboratory,
Room 21.
7. General Physics.—This course is designed for those desiring the
equivalent of regular college work, and the lectures, experimental
demonstrations and problems will cover the topics of light, electricity
and magnetism.
Text-Book.—Duff's Text-Book of Physics.
8. Laboratory Course.—This course is designed to accompany
Course 7.
Text-Book.—Ames and Bliss' Manual of Experiments in Physics.
Note.—Courses 5 and 6 will be given in 1911, Courses 7 and 8 in
1912. A knowledge of logarithms and of plane trigonometry through
right triangles is essential.
University Credit.—Courses 5, 6, 7, and 8, outlined above, will, when
successfully completed in the aggregate, entitle the student who has
fulfilled conditions stated on page 16 to a credit for the college year's
course in physics given in the University during the regular session,
namely, Course 1B.
Certificate Credit.—Professional Summer School Certificate—Physics
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6; Special Certificate—Physics 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
