SCHOOL OF ANALYTICAL AND INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY.
Professor Dunnington.
Mr. Robertson.
Students taking courses in analytical chemistry are required to pay a
special tuition fee of $40 for each course. Each student is required also to
pay a laboratory fee of $10, and to make a deposit of $10 for one course,
or $15 for two courses, to cover the cost of apparatus.
Analytical Chemistry B1: Qualitative Analysis: Chemistry B1 prerequisite.—Chemical
manipulation; blow-pipe analysis, inorganic qualitative analysis,
followed by practice in analysis of salts, alloys, and ores, the examination
of potable water, coal, limestone, clay and so on, including some
simpler quantitative determinations. Fire assaying of ores of lead, silver
and gold. Weekly written exercises are required.—(B.A. or B.S. credit,
6 session-hours of electives-at-large.) Tues., Thurs., Sat., 9-10. Laboratory,
9 hours a week. Professor Dunnington.
Industrial Chemistry B1: Chemistry B1 prerequisite.—A study is made
of the chemical principles and processes of the more important manufacturing
industries. Among the subjects discussed are the metallurgy
and uses of the principal metals and alloys, the manufacture of acids,
alkalies, salts, explosives, glass, pottery, brick, lime, cement, paper, soap,
disinfectants and fertilizers; the preparation and preservation of food, including
bread, meat, sugar, etc.; dyeing and tanning, heating and artificial
light. Weekly written exercises are required. Textbook: Allen Rogers'
Elements of Industrial Chemistry.—(B.A. or B.S. credit, 3 session-hours
of electives-at-large.) Tues., Thurs., Sat., 12-1. Professor Dunnington.
Analytical Chemistry C1: Quantitative Analysis: Analytical Chemistry
B1 prerequisite.—Training in manipulation and gravimetric estimations, followed
by volumetric estimations and a full course in quantitative analysis
of minerals, ores, coal, soil, iron and steel, technical products, and so on.
Weekly written exercises are required. As the student advances in the
course he is encouraged to undertake original research and assist in its
prosecution. Mon., Wed., Fri., 9-10. Laboratory, 12 hours or more a
week. Professor Dunnington and Mr. Robertson.
Students who accomplish the work of Analytical Chemistry B1 and C1
and Industrial Chemistry B1, together with Chemistry B1, B2, and C1, are
prepared for entering upon work in the several lines of industry.
Analytical Chemistry D1: Analytical Chemistry C1, Industrial Chemistry
B1, and Chemistry B1, B2 and C1 prerequisite.—The work is adapted to the
special aims or tastes of each student, but will, in all cases, comprise some
practice in the more elaborate processes of analysis, ultimate and proximate
organic analysis, some study in analytical methods, and some original problems;
also the reading and the summarizing of extracts from current journals.
Laboratory work will be conducted daily, and suggestions and due
assistance given.—Hours by appointment. Professor Dunnington.
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 building is supplied throughout with water,
gas and electricity. A commodious working library is available for the
students, containing about 4,000 books directly related to chemistry, and
complete files of the more important chemical journals.
