CHEMISTRY

A fee of $20.00 and a breakage deposit of $5.00 are required for each course
involving laboratory work, and for research courses.

Chemistry B1a: General Chemistry: The fundamental principles of chemistry.
The first term is devoted to an introduction to the atomic theory and

the chemical view of matter and a study of acids, bases, and salts. The
second term occupies a consideration of the electrolytic dissociation theory,
oxidation and reduction reactions, equilibrium, and typical nonmetallic elements.
The third term is devoted to an introduction to the chemistry of carbon,
the descriptive chemistry of the more important metals and a brief introduction
to qualitative analysis. Three hours of lecture and six hours of
laboratory per week. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 6 session-hours.)

Professor Carter, Dr. Bell and Assistants.

Chemistry B2: Chemical Principles: Chemistry B1 prerequisite.—An
intermediate course designed to bridge the gap between general chemistry
and physical chemistry. The principles touched upon during the first-year
course are restated and treated from a more advanced viewpoint. Two
hours of lecture per week. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 6 session-hours, when
taken with B2a or B2b.)

Professor Yoe.

Chemistry B2a: Qualitative Analysis: Prerequisite, Chemistry B1a: Corequisite,
Chemistry B2.—A laboratory course devoted to the study of systematic
qualitative analysis. Six hours of laboratory work per week and
one lecture or recitation on the technique and theory of analytical chemistry.

Professor Yoe and Assistants.

Note: Chemistry B2 and B2a are specially recommended to pre-medical
students who wish to obtain more chemistry than the minimum requirement
of the Medical School.

Chemistry B3: Organic Chemistry: Chemistry B1a or b prerequisite.—
An introduction to the study of the compounds of carbon, including the
application of modern chemical theory to such compounds and their reactions.
Three hours of lecture and six hours of laboratory per week. (B.A.
or B.S. credit, 6 session-hours.)

Professor Bird and Assistants.

Chemistry B5: Undergraduate Research: To be eligible for this course
a student must have completed at least two of the three courses, B3, B2b
and C1, and must either have taken or be taking the third.—Properly qualified undergraduate
students are given opportunity to undertake an original investigation
of some problem in chemistry under the direction of a member of the teaching
staff. The student will be expected to devote to his problem a minimum
of nine hours per week throughout the year. (B.A. or B.S. credit,
3 session-hours.)
