Advanced courses: Seminars will be offered in the different branches of
Chemistry to students applying for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
Different members of the staff will participate in these seminars, 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, organic, inorganic, and analytical chemistry will be
treated, including such subjects as catalysis, the structure of matter,
thermodynamics, 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. The privileges of the club are extended to all members of
the University and others who are interested in the progress of Chemistry.
The Chemical Laboratory, recently completed, is of brick, fire-proof construction,
and the three floors afford 30,000 square feet of space. The seven
larger laboratories will accommodate 625 students, and, in addition to these,
there are smaller laboratories for the use of instructors and advanced students.
There are also rooms for assay furnaces, gas and water analysis,
photography, etc. The equipment is satisfactory for purposes of both instruction
and research. The laboratory maintains a working library containing
about 4,000 volumes directly relating to chemistry, as well as complete
files of the more important periodicals.
Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy: In addition to
fulfilling the regular University requirements for the Degree of Doctor of
Subject must give evidence of thorough training in the general principles of
chemistry, in organic chemistry, and in analytical chemistry, by passing written
qualifying examinations in these subjects; these examinations to be
passed not later than the close of the session preceding that in which it is
expected that the degree will be conferred.

Latin D: Latin C1 or C2 prerequisite.—A two-year course for those who
desire to specialize in classical philology, especially those who choose Latin
as their major for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. If the candidate's
major be Latin, a respectable familiarity with Greek is required. If the
candidate's major be Romanic, the technical Greek requirement is waived as
far as practically possible, and he is guided into the history of the Roman
popular vernacular and into an acquaintance with the authors illustrating the
Vulgar Latin in literature. It is the aim of this course to prepare the candidate
to investigate independently the sources of our knowledge of the language,
monuments (literary and objective), and life of the Romans. The
following is, therefore, an outline of the course: I. In Language: Elements
of comparative grammar; introduction to Latin historical grammar; systematic
grammar; reading of epigraphic and literary monuments illustrating
the history of the Latin Language. II. In the Literary and Objective Monuments
of the Romans: Reading of authors in groups systematically planned
texts; elements of palaeography, epigraphy, numismatics, topography and
remains. III. In Roman Life: Constructive study of Roman culture-history;
reading of authors illustrating the development of Roman civilization;
study of modern authorities in Roman culture-history.—Hours by appointment.
