188 7. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OP COURSES INVESTIGATION OF SPECIAL PROBLEMS —An advanced laboratory course in continuation of Physics 5. The student is given one or more special .subjects of investigation to be conducted throughout the year under the direction of the professors of the department, and special facilities will be provided for the work, either by buying or making special apparatus in the machine shop of the department. Fall, winter, and sfring terms, full study. Professor CARMAN and Assistant Professor SAGER. Required: 8. Physics 5 or equivalent. MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS.—A course of lectures and recitations. The subjects treated are changed each year, and are arranged to cover the general subject in two consecutive years, each year being complete in itself. The subjects for 1896-97 are theory of electrical and magnetic potential, and Maxwell's Theory of Electricity and Optics, using in the latter course Boltzmann's and Poincare's lectures as references. Three times a week through the year. . Fall, zuinter, and spring terms, three-fifths study. Professor CARMAN. Required: Physics 1, 3 and 4, 5 or 6; Math. 7, 8, 9, (16 desired). GRADUATE COURSES 101. Advanced Physical Measurements and Investigation. One to three credits. 102. Mathematical Physics. One to three credits. PHYSIOLOGY (Human) 1. MAJOR COURSE.—Taking as a basis the knowledge of the structure and physiology of mammals obtained in Zoology 1 or 3, or Physiology 4, there is made a systematic study of the differences, so far as they are of physiological import, between the anatomy of man and of the type mammal there studied; a more detailed study of the facts and methods of mammalian histology; and, finally, with as much fullness as the time will permit, a study of the special physiology of man In the laboratory work the topics are selected to illustrate so far as possible the different methods of obtaining physiological data. Winter and spring terms, full study. Associate Professor SUMMERS. 2. ADVANCED PHYSIOLOGY.—There are here included the following lines of laboratory work, any one or more of which may be pursued independently of the others, (a) The physiology of foods, digestion, and exertion; (b) the blood, circulation, and respiration; (c) the excretions, especially urinalysis; (d) general physiology of nerve and muscle; (e) advanced vertebrate, especially human, histology. The first and third of these illustrate the application of chemical principles and methods
