CHEMISTRY.
300-301-302. General Chemistry. [Bird.]
10-11, T. Th. S.
The fundamental principles and phenomena of inorganic, organic and
physical chemistry are discussed, and the foundations of analytical chemistry
are dealt with at appropriate places. Most of the time is devoted to
inorganic phenomena. No previous study of chemistry is demanded. (Fall,
Winter, Spring.)
303-304-305. Physical Chemistry. [Edgar.]
11-12, M. W. F.
Some knowledge of the calculus is required, and previous work in
Physics is desirable. This course will include work upon such topics as
the gas laws, kinetic theory of gases, the properties of dilute solutions,
osmotic pressure, the determination of molecular weights, mass action,
reaction velocity and equilibrium, electrolysis and electrolytic dissociation,
the phase rule, etc. General Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry prerequisite.
(Fall, Winter, Spring.)
306-307-308. Advanced Inorganic Chemistry. [Bird.]
12-1, Th. F. S.
The lectures deal with the fundamental theories and laws of chemical
action. Parallel reading in the history of Chemistry is required. See
312-13-14 below. General Physical and Advanced Analytical Chemistry
prerequisite. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
309-310-311. Organic Chemistry. [Edgar.]
9-10, M. W. F.
This course is intended to serve as an introduction to the general subject
of Organic Chemistry, including chemical synthesis and the theories
of molecular structure, as applied to the compounds of Carbon. This
course is optional, but it is recommended for those who may have sufficient
advanced standing to enable them to give the time to it. General Chemistry
prerequisite. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
312-313-314. Advanced Organic Chemistry. [Edgar.]
3 hours a week.
The work of the first term consists of lectures and recitations on the
History of Chemical Development and Theory. The second and third
terms consist of lectures, etc., on Advanced Organic Chemistry, making
use of the most recent and comprehensive treatises on this subject. This
adequately prepared in organic chemistry. General and Organic Chemistry
prerequisite. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
330-331-332. Analytical Chemistry. [Dunnington.]
10-11, T. Th. S.
The course consists of three lectures a week, throughout the session,
followed by practical experiments in the laboratory. Weekly written exercises
are required. The work is divided among the three terms as follows:
First Term; A course in Chemical manipulation, Blowpipe Analysis, Recognition
of ores, Fire Assaying of ores of Lead, Gold and Silver. Second
Term; A systematic course in Inorganic Qualitative Analysis. Third
Term; Practice in the analysis of salts, alloys and ores, and the examination
of potable water, coal, limestone, clay and so on, including some simpler
quantitative determinations. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
333-334-335. Advanced Analytical Chemistry. [Dunnington.]
10-11, M. W. F.
The work of this course is also given in three lessons a week throughout
the session. This course is primarily one in Quantitative Analysis.
After some training in manipulation and gravimetric estimations, the
class pursues volumetric estimations and a full course in Quantitative
Analysis of minerals, ores, coal, soil, iron and steel, technical products,
and so on. Weekly written exercises are required. As the student advances
in the course he is encouraged to undertake original research and
assist in its prosecution; and in determining his fitness for graduation,
work of this kind is considered as having much weight. (Fall, Winter,
Spring.)
336-337-338. Industrial Chemistry. [Dunnington.]
3-4, M. W. F.
This course is concerned with the applications of chemistry to the
purposes of human life. The Fall Term is devoted to the metallurgy and
uses of iron, steel, copper and all the other important metals, with the
manufacture of pottery, brick, lime, cement and explosives.
The Winter Term deals with the manufacture of acids, alkalies, salts,
fertilizers and glass, and the preparation of foods and waters.
The Spring Term considers the preparation of starch products and
flavorings, and the chemistry of dyeing, tanning, rubber, paints, lubricants,
disinfectants, lighting, heating, and refrigeration.
Weekly exercises in chemical computations are regularly required, and
a weekly oral examination is held at 12-1 on Tuesday.
The collections of the University in illustration of the processes and
products of Industrial Chemistry have been procured at much expense and
pains in this country, England, France and Germany, and are extensive
and good; among the best on this side of the Atlantic.

12 hours a week.
359-360-361. Organic Chemistry. [Edgar and Instructor.]
2-4, M. W. F.
362-363-364. Advanced Organic Chemistry. [Edgar.]
12 hours a week.

383-384-385. Advanced Analytical Chemistry. [Dunnington and Instructor.]
12 hours a week.
The Chemical Journal Club meets every other Tuesday from 11-12, in
Dr. Edgar's lecture-room, for the critical review and discussion of various
topics of interest in current chemical literature, and of such chemical
researches as may be in progress in the university.
