6. Qualitative Analysis.—This is a course of study of three terms, arranged for students in other than the regular chemical courses. The first term's work is identical with that of course 1. In the second term a, short course in qualitative analysis is given, which involves a study of chemical compounds and of chemical reactions, and their application to some of the more common metallurgical and other technological processes. The analysis of numerous compounds is made, involving also tests of material and special experiments which may bear upon the student's subsequent work. The class room work is by lecture and recitation upon assigned text. The third term's work consists of advanced qualitative analysis, including the purification and preparation of inorganic salts and compounds, etc. Special lectures and experiments are arranged in this course with reference to the needs of other University departments. Fall, winter, and spring terms, 10 hours a week. Professor

PARR.

7. Advanced Work for Agricultural Students.—This course comprises one term's work in quantitative analysis identical with the first term of course 3, one term in organic chemistry, the first term of course 4, and a third term of work in agricultural chemistry similar to the third term of course 3 but more distinctly technical in scope. Text books are Fresenius's Quantitative Analysis, Eemsen's Organic Chemistry. The instruction in Chemistry of Agriculture is mainly given by lectures and assigned reading. Fall, winter, and spring terms, 10 hours a

week. Professors PALMER and PARR.

Required: Chemistry, 1, and either 2 or 6. 8. Pharmaceutical Chemistry.—For students desiring to make a specialty of pharmaceutical chemistry. The first term is identical with the corresponding term of course 3. In the second and third terms the work consists in the valuation, quantitative analysis, and assay of various pharmaceutical materials and preparations; this work being followed by the preparation of pills, suppositories, syrups, emulsions, extracts, tinctures, and other galenical preparations, during the fourth term. Parish's Treatise on Pharmacy; Fresenius's Quantitative Analysis; Prescott's Organic Analysis; IT. S. Dispensatory and Pharmacopceia. Fall, winter, spring, and fall terms, 10 hours a week. Professors

PALMBB and PARR.

Required: Chemistry, 1 and 2.
