INVESTIGATIONS AND THESIS.—Candidates for graduation from the chemical courses "with a thesis" (p. 81) are required to devote at least 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 a drill in consultation of works of reference. Winter••and spring terms, J'till study. Professor PALMER, Professor PARR, Assistant Professor GRINDLEY. Required: Chemistry, 11 credits. 12.
