SPECIAL COURSES.
In addition to the foregoing, the following Special
Courses are given in this School. They are open without
additional charge to the regular students of the School.
For fees to others, see Expenses.
1. A laboratory course of twelve lessons in Practical
Pharmacy, including the compounding and dispensing of
drugs. The pursuit of this course will enable the practitioner
satisfactorily to dispense medicines, and it will afford
him needed familiarity with handling chemicals and the
forms of prescriptions.
2. A course of twenty-four lectures on Agricultural
Chemistry, including a discussion of the chemical and physical
properties of the atmosphere, of soils and of plants; the
chemistry of the processes of vegetable life so far as they
are related to Agriculture; the chemical composition and
preparation of manures; the chemistry of stock feeding,
and so on. This course is open without charge to students
students.
For reference: Johnston's Elements of Agricultural Chemistry, 17th
Edition: London, 1894.
The Chemical Laboratory is a building planned and
erected for the purpose. It is warmed throughout by hot
water, completely fitted with the most approved appliances,
and stocked with apparatus, models, materials, and specimens.
The commodious lecture-room, with work and storerooms
attached, is provided with every convenience for exhibiting
a complete series of experiments illustrating the lectures
on General Chemistry. The large room assigned to
Analytical Chemistry will accommodate fifty working
students, and is furnished with work-tables, gas, water and
all proper laboratory fixtures; smaller rooms are devoted
to weighing, evaporations, assaying, etc., and all requisite
apparatus, chemicals, minerals, materials for analysis, etc.,
are kept constantly supplied by home purchase and importation.
The Museum of Industrial Chemistry contained in the
same building, consists of a very large number of specimens,
collected at much expense and pains in this country
and abroad, to illustrate the products and processes of
Chemistry applied to the arts and manufactures, and is so
arranged as to be a most valuable aid to the student of
Industrial Chemistry
