Fall and Winter terms, 3 hours of lecture and 6 hours of laboratory work per
week, devoted to the study of systematic qualitative analysis. Spring term, 2
hours of lecture and 9 hours of laboratory work per week, devoted to elementary
quantitative analysis. In the lectures and recitation work special emphasis is
given to the theoretical foundations of analytical chemistry. (Fall, Winter,
Spring.)
318-319-320. Quantitative Analysis. [Yoe and Assistants.]
Lecture by appointment.
368-369-370. Quantitative Analysis Laboratory.
2:30-5:30, M. W.
Chemistry 315-16-17 prerequisite.
A course in the principles of quantitative analysis. The laboratory work
will include a study of characteristic procedures, illustrating gravimetric and volumetric
analysis. 1 hour of lecture and 6 hours of laboratory work per week.
(Fall, Winter, Spring.)
324-325-326. Principles of Chemical Engineering.
A study of the fundamental principles underlying the unit processes employed
in chemical engineering, such as heat transfer, mixing, separation of
mixtures, absorption, distillation, crystallization, and others. (Fall, Winter,
Spring.)
340-341-342. Applied Chemistry. [Edgar.]
9:30-10:30, T. Th. S.
Chemistry 309-10-11 and 303-4-5 prerequisite.
The lectures and recitations in this course will be devoted to the study of
fundamental principles underlying the more important phases of industrial chemistry,
including both theoretical and economic problems. A considerable amount
of reading in descriptive industrial chemistry will be assigned, and written reports
upon special subjects will be required. Lectures and Recitations 3 hours a
week. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
374-375-376. Chemical Research.
This course will be designed to afford an introduction to research methods.
Attention will be given to sources of information, including the use of reference
works, patents, and technical journals. The problems selected for study
will be chosen, wherever possible, with reference to their bearing upon chemical
engineering. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
Advanced Courses: A number of advanced courses in Chemistry, not
listed above, are given and complete details are shown in the catalogue of the
College. When time permits, students in Chemical Engineering, who are
properly prepared, may take such of these courses as are approved by the Faculty
of Engineering. 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.
