GENERAL LIST OF SUBJECTS. IO3 8. Iron and Steel Analysis.—This course is devoted to iron and steel analysis. Methods for determination o£ all the constituents are studied, including both rapid and standard methods, especial attention being given to technical methods for determination of phosphorus and sulphur. Fall term, full study. MR. WHITE. Required: Chemistry 5c. 9. Organic Chemistry.—The work of this course consists in the detailed discussion of the characteristics of several of the more typical and simple organic compounds, followed by the briefer consideration of most of the important classes of the derivatives of carbon. The instruction comprises lectures, recitations upon assigned subjects, and laboratory work. Richter's Organic Chemistry is used as reference and text book. The laboratory work includes the preparation of organic compounds in accordance with the directions given in the manuals of Cohen, Fischer, and Levy, and the ultimate analysis of several of the finished products. Winter and spring terms, full study. Professor PALMER. Required: Chemistry 2, 5a. 10. Sanitary Analysis.—Chemical examination of potable and mineral waters, Detection and estimation of some of the most important poisons, organic and inorganic, and urinalysis. Fall term, full study. Professor PALMER. Required: Chemistry 5a. 11. Investigations and Thesis.—Candidates for graduation from the chemical courses are required to devote at least three hours per day for two terms to the investigation of some selected chemical subjects the results of which are to be embodied in a thesis. The subject must be announced immediately at the end of the Thanksgiving recess, and between that time and the beginning of the winter term an index to the bibliography of the subject must be prepared and presented to the professor who is in charge of the investigation. In the research work the student is required to make full use of the various sets of journals, not only for the purpose of preparing himself for the experimental portion of the work and arranging a proper introduction to the thesis, but also as an essential means of extending his acquaintance with chemical literature and drill in consultation of works of reference. Winter and spring terms, full study. Professors PALMER and PARR. Required: Chemistry, 13 credits.
