386-387-388. Advanced Chemical Laboratory. [Edgar.]
Hours by appointment.
This laboratory course of six hours per week in Fall and Winter and three
hours per week in Spring is designed particularly to fit the student for research
and the work consists largely of special problems assigned individually. Elective
for 321-22-23. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
Advanced Courses: Seminars will be offered in the different branches
of Chemistry to students applying for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The
courses will be offered only as occasion demands, and the subjects treated will
vary. These courses will be designated as "D" courses, but owing to the flexibility
which it is desired to secure in the subject matter, no definite statement
of them will be made except that special phases of Physical, Inorganic, and
Analytical chemistry will be treated, including such subjects as radio-chemistry,
the chemistry of the rare elements, colloid and surface chemistry, etc. Research
work looking toward a thesis will accompany these courses.
The Chemical Journal Club will meet once a week (hour to be arranged)
for the critical review and discussion of various topics of interest in current
chemical literature and of such chemical researches as are in progress in the
University. All members of the teaching staff and advanced students in chemistry
are expected to participate in these meetings and to take part in the discussions.
Fellowships: The University announces the establishment of five Teaching
Fellowships in Chemistry, each with an honorarium of $500. These fellowships
present the opportunity for graduate study and research in Chemistry, accompanied
by a limited amount of instructional work. Holders of the fellowships
will be expected to devote not more than fifteen hours a week to instruction,
leaving ample time for research and work toward the graduate degree. The fellowships
are open to men who have received a bachelor's degree from a college
or university of recognized standing, and who have received thorough undergraduate
training in chemistry and physics.
