68 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. Their preparation should be especially good in the scientific studies of the preliminary year. Practice in the drawing of natural objects will greatly facilitate the student's progress. A knowledge of the Latin language is a good preparation for the mastery of the scientific terms which must be learned in the course. SCHOOL OP CHEMISTRY. This school aims to impart such knowledge of Chemistry as will enable the student to apply the principles of the science to the related arts, and as will fit him for original research, or for the business of the druggist, pharmaceutist, and practical chemist. INSTRUCTION". The first term of the first year is occupied by text-book instruction, lectures, and experiments in the laboratory, illustrating 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. 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: CHEMICAL COURSE. PIEST IE1B. First Term.—General, theoretical, and applied chemistry.
