University of Virginia Library

For Undergraduates and Graduates.

Analytical Chemistry C1: Quantitative Analysis: Analytical Chemistry
B1 or the equivalent, prerequisite.—Training in manipulation and gravimetric
estimations, followed by 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, and twelve
hours or more of laboratory work per week. 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. The laboratory is open to
students six days in the week, during all the working hours of the day.
Text-books: G. S. Newth's Manual of Chemical Analysis; Fresenius's Qualitative
and Quantitative Analysis. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 10-11.
Laboratory hours by appointment. Analytical Laboratory. Professor
Dunnington, Mr. Brown.

Industrial Chemistry C1: Chemistry B1 or Analytical Chemistry B1
prerequisite.—A detailed study is made of the chemical principles and
processes of the more important manufacturing industries, upon which, in
large measure, depend the development of the natural resources of the
country. Among the more important subjects discussed are: the metallurgy
and uses of the principal metals and alloys, and thermit, the manufacture
of acids, alkalies, salts, explosives, glass, pottery and fertilizers; the preparation
and preservation of food, including bread, meat, sugar, etc.; the
chemical arts relating to clothing, such as bleaching, dyeing and tanning;
the chemistry of arts concerning building, including the manufacture of
brick, lime and cement; the production of artificial lights and heating;
disinfectants, soap, paper, etc. The subjects specially related to Agriculture
are treated of in different portions of this course. There is a weekly
quiz and weekly written exercises are required. Text-book: F. H.
Thorp's Outlines of Industrial Chemistry. Recommended for reference:
T. E. Thorpe's Dictionary of Applied Chemistry; W. E. Roberts-Austen's
Introduction to the Study of Metallurgy; Roger and Aubert's Industrial
Chemistry; Sadtler's Hand-Book of Industrial Organic Chemistry, etc.
H. K. Benson's Industrial Chemistry for Engineering Students.

A clear comprehension of all lines of industrial manufacture is the aim
proposed in this course, a preparation needed by students who expect to
enter upon any branch of such work. Since these lectures are designed to
give some accurate information about materials with which everyone is
concerned in daily life, it is judged that they will afford a valuable addition
to a general education. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 3-4.30; Tuesday, 12-1.
Analytical Laboratory. Professor Dunnington.

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 unsually
extensive and good, being among the best on this side of the Atlanic.

Students who accomplish the work of Analytical Chemistry B1 and

C1, and Industrial Chemistry C1, together with Chemistry B1, B2, C1, are
prepared for entering upon work in these several lines of industry.
