PHYSICS.
Professor Hoxton.
Professor Anderson.
1. Experimental Physics for High School Teachers.—This course
covers the topics of mechanics, sound and light. The lectures will be
accompanied by demonstrations conducted by the instructor. Each
should be presented to the high school student.
Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor Anderson. Rouss Physical
Laboratory, Room 2.
Text-Book.—Milliken and Gale.
2. Experimental Physics for High School Teachers.—This course
covers the topics of heat, electricity and magnetism. As in course 1,
all lecture experiments will be performed with simple apparatus such
as will most likely be found in high schools.
Daily, from 9:30 to 10:30. Professor Anderson. Rouss Physical
Laboratory, Room 2.
Text-Book.—Milliken and Gale.
3. Laboratory Work to Accompany Courses 1 and 2.—This course
offers 8 hours a week of laboratory work. Four hours to accompany
course 1, and four to accompany course 2. Each student in course 1
will be offered four hours per week of laboratory work; the same
number will be offered to students in course 2. The apparatus used
will be such as can be easily constructed. Arrangements may be
made for much of the apparatus to be taken home by the students.
The entire eight hours work of this course may count as one
course towards the professional certificate.
Hours to be arranged. Professor Anderson. Rouss Physical
Laboratory.
4. General Physics (College Course).—This course will cover the
topics of heat and sound. Lectures, experimental demonstrations and
problems.
Daily, from 10:30 to 11:30. Professor Hoxton. Rouss Physical
Laboratory.
Text-Book.—Duff's Text-Book of Physics.
5. Laboratory Work to Accompany Course 4.
Daily, from 2:30 to 5:30. Professor Hoxton. Rouss Physical
Laboratory.
Text-Book.—Ames and Bliss' Manual of Experiments in Physics.
6. General Physics (College Course).—Lectures, experimental
demonstrations and problems covering the topics of light, electricity,
and magnetism.
Daily, from to Rouss Physical Laboratory.
Text-Book.—Duff's Text-Book of Physics.
7. Laboratory Work to Accompany Course 6.
Daily, from to Rouss Physical Laboratory.
Text-Book.—Ames and Bliss' Manual of Experiments in Physics.
Remark.—Courses 6 and 7 will be given in 1910 but not in 1909.
The number of hours daily required for courses 4, 5, 6, 7, will depend
somewhat upon maturity and previous training of students. A
knowledge of logarithms and of plane trigonometry through right
triangles is essential.
Credit.—Courses 4, 5, 6, 7, outlined above, will, when successfully
completed in the aggregate, entitle the student who has fulfilled
conditions stated on pages 14 and 15 to a credit for the college year's
course in physics given in the University during the regular session,
namely, course 1B.
