There are tables specially fitted for this line of study, each having its own gas and Water fixtures, re-agents, apparatus, and compartment drawers. The study of elementary chemistry is pur- sued during the Third Collegiate grade. Six periods a Week are given to this Work-two periods to lectures and recitations, and four to the laboratory. The students perform such experiments as enable them to illus- trate general laws of chemical action, and to gain familiarity with the more important elements and compounds. Special attention is given to the chemical phenomena of daily experience. In the Work of the second sem- ester, the metals and their compounds are studied in detail, the laboratory practice being devoted to analytical processes. iubpziw. .
