Course in Chemistry DEGREE: BACHELOR or SCIENCE In addition to the subjects that belong to the Course in Chemistry proper, the curriculum includes Literature, Lan- guage, Political Science, Physics, Geology, Astronomy, and Mathematics, including Calculus, Rational Mechanics and Hydraulics. These auxiliary studies are appointed for all students in the Technical Courses, and are fully described on pages I5 to 18. GENERAL CHEMISTRY The Physics of the Third Class year is followed in the Winter Term by General Chemistry. After the student has become familiar with some of the general laws underlying the science, the study of the so-called non-metallic elements and their compounds is taken up. Instruction is given in the form of recitations, laboratory work and lectures. Accurate notes on the lectures and laboratory work are required. General Chemistry continues through the Fall Term of the Second Class year, with a descriptive study of the metallic elements and some of their compounds. QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS Qualitative Analysis begins in the Fall Term of the Sec- ond Class year, with a study of the reactions for the simple bases and acids, and is followed by a course in Blow-pipe Analysis. The work of the student is constantly under the eye of an instructor, who subjects him to frequent quizzes. During the Winter Term following, the separation of mixed bases and acids-Qualitative Analysis proper-is taken up, together with the analysis of a variety of substances chosen for the purpose of training the student in careful observa- tion and accuracy of work. INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY , The study of Industrial Chemistry is an assignment for the Winter and Spring Terms of the Second Class year. It is intended to show the student how chemical principles are applied in the industrial world. The recitation work is sup- plemented by occasional visits to such manufacturing plants as are accessible, and as are equipped with modern appli- ances. 24
