CHEMISTRY.
300-301-302. General Chemistry. [Carter and Assistants.]
9-10, T. Th. S.
350-351-352. Chemistry Laboratory.
10-12, T. Th. S.
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. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
303-304-305. Physical Chemistry. [Edgar.]
12-1, M. W. F.
353-354-355. Physical Chemistry Laboratory.
10-12, M. W. F.
Chemistry 300-1-2 and 315-16-17 prerequisite.
Some knowledge of the calculus is required and previous training in
Physics is desirable. This course treats of such topics as the gas laws,
kinetic theory of gases, the properties of dilute solutions, molecular
weights, mass action, reaction velocities, 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. Lecture
and Recitation 3 hours per week, 6 hours laboratory. (Fall, Winter,
Spring.)
309-310-311. Organic Chemistry. [Bird and Assistants.]
12-1, T. Th. S.
359-360-361. Organic Chemistry Laboratory.
2-5, T. Th.
Chemistry 300-1-2 prerequisite.
An introduction to the study of the compounds of carbon, including
the application of modern chemical theory to such compounds and their
reactions. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
312-313-314. Advanced Organic Chemistry. [Bird.]
2-3, M. W. F.
362-363-364. Advanced Organic Chemistry Laboratory.
9 hours per week.
Chemistry 309-10-11 and 303-4-5 prerequisite.
The lectures deal with selected topics in organic chemistry. Reading
from the scientific journals, advanced texts, and the history of Chemistry
will be assigned. The laboratory work involves a study of typical problems,
designed to teach methods of investigation which are widely applicable.
(Fall, Winter, Spring.)
315-316-317. Qualitative Analysis. [Yoe and Assistants.]
9-10, T. Th. S.
365-366-367. Qualitative Analysis Laboratory.
2-5, M. W. or 2-5, T. Th.
Chemistry 300-1-2 prerequisite.
The first two terms will be devoted to the study of systematic qualitative
analysis. In the lectures and recitation work special emphasis will
be given to the theoretical foundations of analytical chemistry. (Fall,
Winter, Spring.)
318-319-320. Quantitative Analysis. [Yoe and Assistants.]
Lectures by appointment.
368-369-370. Quantitative Analysis Laboratory.
2-5, M. W. F.
Chemistry 315-16-17 prerequisite.
A thorough course in quantitative analysis including some work in
technical methods of analysis as well as the fundamental procedures of
gravimetric and volumetric analysis. One to two hours of lecture and
recitation a week. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
340-341-342. Applied Chemistry. [Edgar.]
11-12, 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.)
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. (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
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.
