PHYSICS.
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. Physics 3 (a),
however, is more than the equivalent of this laboratory work and
may be substituted for it.
Text-Books.—Millikan and Gale's First Course in Physics.
Daily, lectures, from 8:30 to 9:30. Mr. Diggs. Rouss Physical
Laboratory, Room 20.
Monday and Tuesday, laboratory, from 2:30 to 4:30. Mr. Boyer.
Rouss Physical Laboratory, Room 21.
2. High School Physics for Teachers.—The topics treated in this
course will be magnetism, electricity, and light. It will be accompanied
by four hours laboratory work per week, the student performing
about twenty-five experiments in Millikan and Gale's Manual.
Physics 3(b) however, is more than the equivalent of this laboratory
work and may be substituted for it.
Text-Book.—Millikan and Gale's First Course in Physics.
Daily, lectures, from 9:30 to 10:30. Mr. Diggs. Rouss Physical
Laboratory, Room 20.
Wednesday and Thursday, laboratory, from 2:30 to 4:30. Mr. Boyer.
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
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 will all those belonging
to the subjects treated without the expenditure of any more time than
indicated. The student is urged, however, to substitute courses 3(a)
and 3(b) for this laboratory work both from the standpoint of credits
and thoroughness.
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 topics and such questions as may arise, as it is
desired that these courses be 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. It is divided into
two parts (a) and (b); the former covering the ground of Course 1,
the latter, of Course 2.
Text.—Millikan and Gale's Laboratory Course in Physics.
Daily, from 8:30 to 11:30. Mr. Boyer. Rouss Physical Laboratory,
Room 21.
4. Physics—Laboratory Arts.—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. Where possible apparatus will be made to meet the
needs of the individual student. 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, 8:30 to 10:30. Professor
Benton. Rouss Laboratory, Room 21.
Note.—A laboratory fee of two dollars will be charged for Course
4. In each of courses 1, 2, 3, and 4 there must be an enrollment of at
least four students in order that the course be given. Small fees will
also be charged for other laboratory courses.
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.
6. Laboratory Course.—This course is parallel to Course 5 and
should accompany it.
Text-Book.—Ames and Bliss' Manual of Experiments in Physics.
Daily, from 8:30 to 11:30. Professor Benton. Rouss Physical Laboratory,
Room 20.
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.—Kimball's College Physics.
Daily, from 12:15 to 1:15. Professor Benton. 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.
Note.—Courses 6, 7 and 8 will be given in 1912. Courses 5, 7 and 8
in 1913. A knowledge of logarithms and of plane trigonometry
through right triangles is essential.
University 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 page 15 to a credit for the college year's
course in physics given in the University during the regular session,
namely, Course 1B.
Certificate Credit.—Professional Summer School Certificate—Physics
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6; Special Certificate—Physics 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
