of the metallic elements, their classification, compounds, and chemical properties. The work is from lectures and assigned text (no laboratory work). Remsen's Advanced Course. Winter and spring terms, three-fifths study. Dr. GRINDLEY. Required: Chemistry 1. 3a. QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS.—This course includes a study of salts, their formation, solubilities, chemical reactions, etc. The periodic classification of the elements is made the basis for developing the principles of analysis. The work in the laboratory, after illustrating those principles, is occupied with the determination of base and acid constituents of a given number of unknown 'Substances. Winter term, laboratory work 2 hours daily, and lectures 3 hours per week, full study. Professor PARR. Sequired: Chemistry 1. 3b. QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS, continued with more complex Substances.—A comparative study of methods, difficult separations, problems in synthesis, etc. Spring term, laboratory work 3 hours daily, full study. Professor PARR. Hequired: Chemistry 1, 2. 4. ELEMENTS OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY.—A course in organic chemistry, provided more especially for students who are not making a specialty of chemistry. The instruction is directed mainly to the consideration of the general characteristics and the mutual relations of some of the most important classes of carbon compounds, and the course constitutes a general introduction to the principles and the methods of organic chemistry. In the laboratory a few typical substances are prepared. Bernsen's Organic Chemistry. Spring term, full study. Professor PALMER. Sequired: Chemistry 3a. 5a. QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS.—General principles and practices of gravimetric quantitative analysis, beginning with salts of definite composition. The purpose here is to gain facility and accuracy of manipulation together with a knowledge of the principles involved in the best practice. Lectures and assigned text from Fresenius's Quantitative Analysis accompanying the laboratory work. Fall term, full study. Professor PARR. Required: Chemistry 3b. 5b. QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS CONTINUED.—This course includes volumetric analysis and the analysis of silicates; as, feldspars, clays, etc. Winter term, full study, laboratory work three hours daily. Professor PALMER and Dr. GRINDLEY. Required: Chemistry 5a.
