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.
