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 B1: 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, 2 courses.)

Professor Carter, Dr. Fink and Assistants.

Chemistry B2: Qualitative Analysis: Chemistry B1 prerequisite.—A course
devoted to the study of systematic qualitative analysis. In the lecture work
special emphasis is given to the theoretical foundations of analytical chemistry.
Two hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. (B.A. or B.S.
credit, 1 course.)

Professor Yoe and Assistants.

Note: This course is 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 B1 prerequisite.—An introductory
study of the constitution and chemical changes which characterize
organic compounds, both "simple" and "mixed." Emphasis is placed
upon principles and reaction tendencies and upon the influence of conditions,
groups of atoms, etc., as factors in promoting and controlling reactions. It
meets the requirements in this subject for admission to Medical Schools and
the advanced courses in Organic Chemistry. Three hours of lecture and six
hours of experimental study per week throughout the session. (B.A. or B.S.
credit, 2 courses.)

Professor Bird and Assistants.

Chemistry B4: Quantitative Analysis: Chemistry B2 prerequisite.—An introductory
course in volumetric and gravimetric methods of analysis. Nine hours
per week, including one lecture or recitation on the technique and theory of
quantitative analysis. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 1 course.)

Professor Yoe and Assistant.

Chemistry B5: Undergraduate Research: Chemistry C1 corequisite.—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, 1 course.)

Chemistry B7: Introductory Theoretical and Advanced General Chemistry:
Chemistry B2 and B6 (or B3) prerequisite.—A course designed to give
students specializing in chemistry a more advanced introduction to the fundamental
principles than is possible in general chemistry. No laboratory. 3 lectures per
week. (Credit, 1 course.)
