the application of thermodynamics in the solution of chemical problems.
Professor Edgar.

special phases of organic chemistry. Professor Bird.

Assistant Professor Pease.
Research. Every graduate student in Chemistry is expected to carry on
research. No special courses are listed, as the nature of the work and the
credit received, will vary with the time spent upon it, the previous training of
the student and the degree for which the student is applying. At present
researches are under way in the laboratory in the fields of catalysis; adsorption;
organic equilibria; ionic equilibria; photochemistry; colloid chemistry; rate
of flow of gases; organic synthesis, and other problems in organic chemistry.
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 accomodate 625 students, and, in addition to these there
are smaller laboratories for the use of the 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
Philosophy, candidates for this degree who select chemistry as their Major
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.
Courses marked with an asterisk are designed for sufficiently prepared undergraduates
and for graduates; other "C" courses and all "D" courses are designed for graduate
students.

The Lewis Brooks Museum contains collections illustrating the main
subdivisions of natural history. Each of the collections is arranged so as to
exemplify the principles of the science, and at the same time offers a large
variety of subjects for advanced study. In geology the specimens show the
different kinds of rocks, classified according to mineral character and the
maps, etc., are exceptionally fine, and fully illustrate historical geology. In
mineralogy the principles of the science are made plain by well-chosen suits
of specimens, models of crystals, etc. The general collection of minerals
contains all the important species, and many of the rarer ones, in good
specimens. In addition to the above, a beginning has been made of a collection
to illustrate the geology and mineralogy of the State of Virginia,
and this is being increased as rapidly as possible.
