PHYSICS.
Professor Hoxton.
Mr. Guthrie.
1. High School Physics for Teachers.—The topics treated in this
course will be mechanics, heat, and sound. It will be accompanied by
four hours laboratory work per week, the student performing about
twenty-five experiments in Millikan and Gale's Manual.
Text-Book.—Millikan and Gale's First Course in Physics.
Daily, lectures, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor Hoxton. Rouss
Physical Laboratory, Room 20.
Monday and Tuesday, laboratory, from 3:30 to 5:30. Professor
Hoxton. Rouss Physical Laboratory, Room 21.
2. High School Physics for Teachers.—The topics treated in this
course will be magnetism, electricity, and light. The course will be
accompanied by four hours laboratory work per week, the student
performing about twenty-five experiments in Millikan and Gale's
Manual.
Text-Book.—Millikan and Gale's First Course in Physics.
Daily, lectures, from 9:30 to 10:30. Professor Hoxton. Rouss
Physical Laboratory, Room 20.
Wednesday and Thursday, laboratory, from 3:30 to 5:30. Professor
Hoxton. Rouss Physical Laboratory, Room 21.
Note.—Courses 1 and 2 will consist of recitations based upon the
text, accompanied by suitable illustrations and experimental demonstrations
by the instructor. The apparatus used in every case will
be of the simplest type such as will most likely be found in the
equipment of the average high school. The laboratory work will
give the student ample opportunity to familiarize himself with laboratory
methods and apparatus; whenever necessary the experiments
will be abbreviated so as to allow the student to become acquainted
with all those belonging to the subjects treated without the expenditure
of any more time than indicated. A number of lecture-table
experiments will be conducted in order to clear up difficult points,
but the usual method of recitation will be the discussion of assigned
courses be very practical and helpful.
3. Laboratory Course in Physics.—This course is designed for
students and teachers who may have had the equivalent of Courses
1 and 2 without much laboratory work. The student will perform
and report fully all the experiments in the text used.
Text.—Millikan and Gale's Laboratory Course in Physics.
Daily, from 8:30 to 11:30. Professor Hoxton. Rouss Physical
Laboratory, Room 21.
4. Physics—Manual Training.—This course aims to give teachers
instruction in devising simple apparatus, such as siphons, pipettes,
air thermometers, hydrometers, Boyle's law tubes, barometers, vacuum
tubes, electrolysis tubes, water hammers, silvered mirrors, magnets,
compass needles, dip needles, galvanoscopes, galvanometers, resistance
coils, etc. The materials needed will be supplied by the
Summer School and the apparatus made will belong to the student
making it.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, 3:30 to 5:30. Professor
Hoxton. Rouss Physical Laboratory, Room 21.
Note.—A laboratory fee of two dollars will be charged.
5. General Physics.—This course is designed for those desiring the
equivalent of college work, and will cover the topics of mechanics,
heat and sound, which will be considered by lectures, experimental
demonstrations and problems.
Text-Book.—Duff's Text-Book of Physics.
6. Laboratory Course.—This course is parallel to Course 5 and
should accompany it.
Text-Book.—Ames and Bliss' Manual of Experiments in Physics.
7. General Physics.—This course is designed for those desiring the
equivalent of regular college work, and the lectures, experimental
demonstrations and problems will cover the topics of light, electricity,
and magnetism.
Text-Book.—Duff's Text-Book of Physics.
Daily, from 3:30 to 5. Mr. Guthrie. Rouss Physical Laboratory,
Room 20.
8. Laboratory Course.—This course is designed to accompany
Course 7.
Text-Book.—Ames and Bliss' Manual of Experiments in Physics.
Daily, from 8:30 to 11:30. Mr. Guthrie. Rouss Physical Laboratory,
Room 21.
Note.—Courses 7 and 8 will be given in 1910, Courses 5 and 6 in
1911. A knowledge of logarithms and of plane trigonometry through
right triangles is essential.
Credit.—Courses 5, 6, 7, and 8, outlined above, will, when successfully
completed in the aggregate, entitle the student who has fulfilled
conditions stated on pages 16 and 17 to a credit for the college year's
course in physics given in the University during the regular session,
namely, Course 1B.
