and the three floors afford 30,000 square feet of space. The seven
larger laboratories will accommodate 625 students, and, in addition to these,
there are smaller laboratories for the use of instructors and advanced students.
There are also rooms for assay furnaces, gas and water analysis,
photography, etc. The equipment is satisfactory for purposes of both instruction
and research. The laboratory maintains a working library containing
about 4,000 volumes directly relating to chemistry, as well as complete
files of the more important periodicals.

fulfilling the regular University requirements for the Degree of Doctor of
Subject must give evidence of thorough training in the general principles of
chemistry, in organic chemistry, and in analytical chemistry, by passing written
qualifying examinations in these subjects; these examinations to be
passed not later than the close of the session preceding that in which it is

SCHOOL OF PHYSICAL TRAINING.
Physical Training B1: A student who elects this course must take it, either
wholly or in part, during his first year, and complete it by the end of his
second year.—Lectures and physical exercises. The lectures treat of the gross
anatomy of the body, the physical functions and mechanism of important
organs, the nutrition, growth and development of the body, its maintenance
and care, including the prevention of disease, and the problems of community
hygiene. The exercises consist of indoor work in the gymnasium and of outdoor
work. The latter is made of those sports and games which are under
the general control of the Faculty Committee on Athletics, and such other
activities as the faculty shall in future direct and for which adequate supervision
shall be provided. As rapidly as facilities increase, further work will
be offered for those interested, and particular attention will be given to those
who wish to prepare themselves to be teachers of physical education.—(B.A.
or B.S. credit, 3 session-hours of electives-at-large.) One lecture and six
hours of physical exercises per week. Hours to be arranged.
SCHOOL OF PHYSICS.
A laboratory fee of $15 is charged for Physics 1, B1, C3, C4.
Physics 1: for Pre-Medical Students: The prerequisites are the same as
those for Physics B1.—A four session-hour college course meeting the minimum
requirements for entrance into the study of medicine. One lecture
section, one laboratory section. Fall and winter terms only. Professor
Hoxton, Assistant Professor Brown and Assistants.
Physics B1: General Physics: A knowledge of solid geometry and of
the trigonometry of the right triangle, prerequisite.—The elements of mechanics,
sound, heat, electricity and magnetism, and light. The classroom instruction
is given by textbooks, recitations, problems, and experimental demonstrations.
In the laboratory each student performs experiments upon which
written reports are required.—(B.A. or B.S. credit, 6 session-hours.) One
lecture section, two laboratory sections. Professor Hoxton, Assistant Professor
Brown and Assistants.
Physics C1: Mechanics, Sound and Light: Physics B1 and Mathematics
B1 prerequisite.—Professor Sparrow.

Professor Hoxton.
Physics C3 and C4: Physical Measurements.—Theory of errors and
precision of measurement. Use of important instruments of precision. The
specialized portions of Course C3 are mainly in the field of mechanics and
optics; of C4 in Heat and Electricity.
Advanced Courses.—The content of these courses varies from year to
year according to the needs and research tendencies of the students. They
are offered each year. One of these deals usually with some phase of
classical physics, such as dynamics, electromagnetic theory, thermodynamics,
etc.; the other is essentially a research seminary having emphasis on the
unsolved problems of today. Foreign textbooks and journals are freely used,
and a reading knowledge of French and German is essential for most of
this work.
Journal Meeting.—The faculty and advanced students in physics and
astronomy meet once a week for the presentation and discussion of current
research. The students, as well as the professors, take an active part in the
presentation of these reports.
The Rouss Physical Laboratory is a commodious building, characterized
throughout by structural stability. The rooms are abundantly lighted, while
some may be darkened for optical experiments. There is a general distribution
of water and all the rooms are supplied with gas and electricity.
The equipment includes an exceptionally complete collection of demonstration
apparatus, and a good stock of apparatus for elementary laboratory
instruction. In addition to this, there is a special line of electrical and optical
instruments, a 21½-foot concave grating with Rowland mounting, photographic
dark room, liquid air plant and storage battery, and an instrument
shop for the repair and construction of physical instruments. For advanced
work in some lines, the facilities offered are excellent.
SCHOOL OF PUBLIC SPEAKING.
Public Speaking B1: English A1, A2, or A3 prerequisite.—Writing and
delivery of speeches on topics of the day; extemporaneous and impromptu
speaking.—(B.A. or B.S. credit, 3 session-hours.) Two sections, each limited
