trating the elementary principles of chemistry, chemical physics, and inorganic chemistry. The second term is devoted to laboratory practice in qualitative analysis. In the third term recitations upon organic chemistry and illustrative synthetic experiments 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 end 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; Remsen's Organic Chemistry; Fresenius1 Analysis; Bolton's Analysis; Sutton's Volumetric Analysis; Bunsen's Gasometry; Rickett's Assaying; Gore's Electro-Metallurgy; Johnson's How Crops Grow and How Crops Feed. Books of Reference.—Grmelin'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. Deposits.—At the beginning of each term of Laboratory practice, each student will deposit twelve dollars with the business agent of the University. At the end of the term, the balance left, after deducting payment for gas, chemicals, and apparatus used, will be refunded. Five courses of laboratory work have been arranged, as follows:
