3. Qualitative Analysis.—This course includes a systematic and experimental study of the metallic elements, their salts and compounds and their chemical formulae and reactions, together with the principles which underlie qualitative analysis. The work is done chiefly in the laboratory and includes the determination of the basic and acid constituents of unknown substances. Prescoit and Johnston's Qualitative Analysis. Winter and spring terms, full study. Professor PARR. Required: Chemistry, 1. 4. Advanced Qualitative Analysis.—This course follows 3 and is a continuation of the determination of unknown substances covering more complicated compounds. Following this, further application, and to a large extent an original use, of the knowledge gained is made in the preparation and purification of typical salts and compounds from the spent material which accumulates in other lines of work throughout the laboratory. Prescotl and Johnston's Qualitative Analysis. Spring term, full study. Professor PARR. Required: Chemistry, 1, 2, 3. 5. Quantitative Analysis.—The work in this course occupies the fall term of the sophomore year. It begins with the analysis of salts of definite and known composition, the purpose being to gain facility and accuracy of manipulation together with a general knowledge of the principles involved in the best practice. The class room work is chiefly lectures and recitations upon assigned topics in Fresenhis's Quantitative Analysis. Fall term, full study.' Professor PARR. Required: Chemistry, i, 2, 3, 4. 6. Volumetric Analysis and Assaying.—In this course practice is given in the use of methods for special lines of work, including volumetric assays and analysis of ores and furnace products. This is followed by the electrolytic determination of copper, etc., and by the usual fire assays of lead, silver, and gold. The class room instruction in this term is mainly by lectures and special notes, the student being required to read assigned parts of the works of R~erl, Mitchell, and others. Winter term, full study. Professor PALMER. Required: Chemistry, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 7. Agricultural Chemistry.—In this course lectures upon the chemistry of agriculture are given accompanied by laboratory work in the quantitative analysis of some of the materials employed in agriculture and agricultural products. The laboratory practice includes the analyses of complex silicates, as feldspar, mica, or glass, and of
