CHEMISTRY

A fee of $20.00 and a breakage deposit of $5.00 are required for each course
involving laboratory work, and for research courses.

Chemistry B1: General Chemistry: The fundamental principles of chemistry.
The first term is devoted to an introduction to the atomic theory and the
chemical view of matter and a study of acids, bases, and salts. The second term
occupies a consideration of the electrolytic dissociation theory, oxidation and
reduction reactions, equilibrium, and typical nonmetallic elements. The third
term is devoted to an introduction to the chemistry of carbon, the descriptive
chemistry of the more important metals and a brief introduction to qualitative
analysis. Three hours of lecture and six hours of laboratory per week. (B.A. or
B. S. credit, 6 session-hours.)

Professor Carter, Dr. Bell and Assistants.

Chemistry B2: Qualitative Analysis: Chemistry B1 prerequisite.—A course
devoted to the study of systematic qualitative analysis. In the lecture work
special emphasis is given to the theoretical foundations of analytical chemistry.
Two hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. (B.A. or B.S.
credit, 3 session-hours.)

Professor Yoe and Assistants.

Note: This course is specially recommended to pre-medical students who
wish to obtain more chemistry than the minimum requirement of the Medical
School.

Chemistry B3: Organic Chemistry: Chemistry B1 prerequisite.—An introductory
study of the compounds of carbon and their reactions, including the
application of modern chemical theories in this branch of science. It meets the
requirements of those who enter Medical Schools and the advanced courses in
Organic Chemistry. Three hours of lecture and six hours of experimental study
per week throughout the session. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 6 session-hours.)

Professor Bird and Assistants.

Chemistry B4: Quantitative Analysis: Chemistry B2 prerequisite.—An
introductory course in volumetric and gravimetric methods of analysis. Nine
hours per week, including one lecture or recitation on the technique and theory
of quantitative analysis. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 3 session-hours.)

Professor Yoe and Assistant.

Chemistry B5: Undergraduate Research: To be eligible for this course a
student must have completed at least two of the three courses, B3, B2 and C1,
and must either have taken or be taking the third.—Properly qualified undergraduate
students are given opportunity to undertake an original investigation of
some problem in chemistry under the direction of a member of the teaching staff.
The student will be expected to devote to his problem a minimum of nine hours
per week throughout the year. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 3 session-hours.)

Chemistry B7: Introductory Theoretical and Advanced General
Chemistry: Chemistry B2 and B6 prerequisite.—A course designed to give students
specializing in chemistry a more advanced introduction to the fundamental
principles than is possible in general chemistry. No laboratory. 3 lectures per
week. (Credit, 3 session-hours.)

Professor Carter.
