previous training in Physics.
This course is divided into three parts. The first term will be devoted
to a study of certain fundamental properties of gases, liquids, and solids. The
second term is taken up with a quantitative study of chemical reactions from
the standpoint of velocity and equilibrium. In the third term solutions of
electrolytes will be studied and the final weeks will be devoted to recent work
on the structure of matter. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)

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.]
8:30-9:30, T. Th. S.
365-366-367. Qualitative Analysis Laboratory.
2:30-5:30, T. Th.
Chemistry 300-1-2 prerequisite.
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. [Benton.]
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.)
386-387-388. 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.
