QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS ' In the Spring Term of the Second Class year and throughout the First Class year, the student is given oppor- tunity to master the principles of Quantitative Analysis. He 1S first taught how to use the balance, and then the principles of Gravimetric Analysis, as illustrated by a series of simple determinations. He then takes up Volumetric Analysis and learns the use of indicators. During the Winter Term of the First Class year the work consists of the quantitative Feparation and determination of a variety of substances, including commercial products, alloys, and minerals. In the Spring Term the student is permitted to elect one of the following special lines of work: Organic Synthesis and fblntllysis, Water Analysis, Iron and Steel Analysis, Assay- mg. ORGANIC CHEMISTRY During the Fall and Winter Terms of the First Class Year the student is required to take a course in Organic Chemistry. Instruction is given in the form of daily recita- tions interspersed with occasional lectures. THEORETICAL CHEMISTRY I In the Spring Term of the First Class year, instruction IS given in Theoretical Chemistry. In this work the student reviews laws and practices with which he is already familiar, considering them at length with the instructorhin the light of recent investigations. The viewpoint taken is that of the Physical Chemist. Previous to graduation, a thesis is required on some fllbject chosen with the approval of the Professor of Chem- lstry. ' From this outline of the Course in Chemistry it will be Seen that the object is not to fit the student for any particular branch of Applied Chemistry, but to give him a comprehen- Sive knowledge of the fundamental principles of the slcienceg so that, if occasion require, he will be able, himself, to master within a short period of time, any special line of analytical work. 25 '
