152 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF COURSES three hours per day for two terms to the investigation of some selected chemical subject, the results of which are to be embodied in a thesis. The choice of subject should be made early in the year. It must be determined upon by consultation with the professors of chemistry before the first Monday in November. Between that time and the beginning of the winter term an index to the bibliography of the subject must be prepared and presented to the professor who is in charge of the investigation. In the research work the student is required to make full use of the various sets of journals, not only for the purpose of preparing himself for the experimental portion of the work and arranging a proper introduction to the thesis, but also as an essential means of extending his acquaintance with chemical literature and drill in consultation of works of reference. Winter and spring terms, full study. (A) General, Professor PALMER; (B) Technological, Professor PARR. Required: Chemistry, 13 credits. 12. THEORETICAL CHEMISTRY.—A course of instruction which includes discussions of the principles and theories of general chemistry. Ostwald's Outlines of General Chemistry. Winter and spring terms, tvio-fifths study. Professor PALMER. Required: Chemistry 4 and 5a. 13. AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY.—A course of lectures upon the chemical principles and processes involved in agriculture, taken conjointly with laboratory practice in analysis of agricultural products and materials. Winter and spring terms, full study. Assistant Professor GRINDLEY. Required: Chemistry 5a. 14. METALLURGY.—Especial attention is given to the effect of impurities in ores upon metallurgical processes aridfinished products. Fuels, refractory materials, and fluxes are described and their value and application explained. A series of models of furnaces and specimens of furnace material and products are used in illustration. Much use is made of publications and of methods setting forth the present practice of actual plants in operation. Fall term, full study. Professor PARR. Required: Chemistry 8.
