etc. The instruction is by lectures and recitations upon assigned topics in standard works of reference. Four terms, 10 hours a

week. Professors PALMER and PABR.

Required: Chemistry, 1, 2. 4. Organic Chemistry.—This course consists in a consideration of the principles and the processes of organic chemistry. The instruction comprises recitations, lectures, and laboratory practice. Remsen's Organic Chemistry is employed as a text book, and is supplemented by lectures upon special topics and by references to the works of Richter, Roscoe and Schorlemmer, and Beilstein. In the laboratory the practice consists in the preparation of organic compounds, in accordance with the directions given in the text book, with selections from the manuals of Levy and Fischer Some time is also devoted to ultimate organic analysis. Winter and spring terms, 10 hours a week. Professor PALMEB.

Required: Chemistry, 1, 2. 5. Investigations and Thesis.—This course is intended as a final preparation for the practical work to which the student intends to devote himself after graduation. In the first term some time is given to the study of toxicology and urinalysis, after which the candidate for a degree is required to engage in some line of original research. The subject of the investigation must be determined by or before the Thanksgiving recess, after which time, and until the Christmas holidays, the work is of such a nature as to familiarize the student with the special methods and processes involved in the research contemplated. After the holidays the work of investigation is prosecuted and the required thesis prepared. In this research work the student is required to make full use of the various sets of chemical journals, English, French, and German, as an essential means of extending his acquaintance with chemical literature and a drill in consultation of works of reference. Throughout the year the class instruction is by lectures, recitations, and by discussions in toxicology, in theoretical and thermo-chemistry, and in the history of chemistry. Wormley's Micro-chemistry of Poisons, Taylor on Poisons, Meyer's Modern Theories of Chemistry, and Meyer's Geschichte der Chemie are some of the works used during the year. Fall, winter, and spring terms, 10 hours a week. Professors PALMEB and PAKK. Required: Ten terms of chemical work.
