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 31213-14
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. [Pratt.]
3 hours a week.
During the first term some time will be devoted to a review of the historical
development of the subject, with special attention to fundamental
theories. Parallel reading will be assigned. The remainder of the year will
be devoted to an intimate study of one or more of the special phases of
Organic Chemistry, such as Dyes and Indicators, Carbohydrates, Terpenes,
Polymethylenes, Coal Tar Products, etc. Reading from the scientific journals
and reference books will be assigned.
The laboratory work will consist of the more difficult organic preparations,
partially adapted to the topics under discussion in the lectures, special
attention being given to a quantitative study of the reactions. (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.]
3-4:30, 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 written 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.

to 12 m. in Professor Bird'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.
