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 Laboratory
Course in Physics. 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 and Laboratory
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. —.
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 Millikin and Gale's Laboratory
Course in Physics.
Physics 3(b) 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 and Laboratory
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.
—. 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. 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
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. —. 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
Sparrow. Rouss Laboratory, Room 21. Courses 1, 2, and 3
prerequisite.
Note.—A laboratory fee of two dollars will be charged for each of
Courses 4, 6, and 8. 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 Sparrow. 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 Sparrow. 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 1914. Courses 5, 6 and
8 in 1915. 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 17 to a credit for the
college year's course in physics given in the University during the
regular session, namely, Course B1.
Certificate Credit.—Professional Summer School Certificate Advanced
Grade—Physics 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6; Summer School Professional
Certificate—College Grade—Physics 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
