Students taking courses in Chemistry are required to pay for each
course a laboratory fee of $10, and to make a special deposit of $5 to cover
breakage of apparatus.

Chemistry B1: General Chemistry.—The fundamental principles and
phenomena of inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, and the foundations
of analytical chemistry. Most of the time is devoted to inorganic
phenomena.—(B.A. or B.S. credit, 6 session-hours.) Lectures: Section I,
Mon., Wed., Fri., 10-11; Section II, Tues., Thurs., Sat., 9-10. Laboratory, 6
hours a week. Associate Professor Carter, Mr. Robertson and assistants

Chemistry B2: Organic Chemistry: Chemistry B1 prerequisite.—Introduction
to organic chemistry, including the theories of molecular structure,
as applied to the compounds of carbon. In the laboratory standard methods
of synthesis, as well as the preparation from natural sources of important
organic substances, will be studied experimentally.—(B.A. or B.S.
credit, 6 session-hours.) Mon., Wed., Fri., 12-1. Laboratory, 6 hours a
week. Professors Bird and Waddell, and Mr. Franke.

Chemistry C1: Physical Chemistry: Chemistry B1, B2, Analytical
Chemistry B1, C1 and Physics B1 prerequisite.—This course treats such topics
as the gas laws, kinetic theory of gases, the properties of dilute solutions,
molecular weights, mass action, reaction velocity, electrolysis and
electromotive force, the phase rule, etc. Emphasis is placed upon the application
of physico-chemical laws in the solution of chemical problems.
The laboratory work consists of a course in physico-chemical measurements
from the point of view of their use in chemical research. Hours
by appointment. Professor Bird and Associate Professor Carter.

The Chemical Journal Club meets every week 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.
All instructors and advanced students in chemistry are expected to participate
in these meetings and to take part in the discussions. The privileges
of the club are extended to all persons in the University or in the
vicinity of Charlottesville who are interested in the progress of chemistry.
