I °O COLLEGE OF SCIENCE APPLIED CHEMISTRY In this department there are offered ten separate courses in technological subjects. These require as preliminary work the seven general and analytical courses. They may be further supplemented by special advanced work along some chosen line. Frequent visits are made to metallurgical and other works employing chemical processes. PHYSICS The department of physics offers a lecture course in general descriptive physics with class room experiments, extending through the year, and accompanied by an introductory laboratory course in physical measurements. This is followed by two courses, one experimental and the other theoretical. In the experimental course the student is trained in the most exact methods of making the fundamental physical measurements and taught how to discuss his results. The theoretical course running parallel to this discusses, with the aid of elementary calculus, the theory of some of the main subjects of physics. In the senior year the student is supposed to take up some special problem for investigation and to center his laboratory work about that. An advanced mathematical course is also offered for those who wish to follow the most advanced theories and results of the science. THE MATHEMATICAL GROUP AIMS The mathematical group includes the entire offering of the University in pure mathematics, astronomy, and physics, and aims to lay the mathematical foundation for special work in any one of these lines, as well as to offer an opportunity for advanced work. It is hoped that the courses offered will meet the requirements of those who need mathematics as a tool as well as those who wish to make it a specialty. Parallel to the pure mathematics two lines of associated
