and inorganic chemistry. The second term is devoted to laboratory practice in qualitative analysis. In the third term recitations upon organic chemistry alternate with laboratory practice in qualitative analysis. During the next three years each student is expected to work two hours daily in the laboratory five days in the week. In order to graduate, each is required at the close of his course, to make an original investigation, and present a Thesis. Students who pursue Chemistry as a part of other courses, work at least two consecutive hours daily during such time as their specialties may require. Text-Books—Roscoe's Chemistry; Fresenius' Analysis; Bolton's Analysis; Sutton's Volumetric Analysis; Bunsen's Gasometry; Riekett's Assaying; Gore's Electro-metallurgy; Johnson's How Crops Grow and How Crops Feed. Books of Reference—Gmelin's Handbook of Chemistry; Graham-Otto's Ausfuehrliches Lehrbuch der Chemie; Watts' Dictionary of Chemistry; Roscoe and Schorlemmer's Treatise on Chemistry; Armstrong's Miller's Chemistry; Lehmann's Physiological Chemistry; Percy's Metallurgy; Mitchell's Practical Assaying; Wormley's Micro-Chemistry of Poisons; Taylor on Poisons. Five courses of laboratory work have been arranged as follows:
