GENERAL LIST OP SUBJECTS. 115 products. Fuels, refractory materials, andfluxesare described and their value and application explained. A series of models of furnaces and specimens of furnace material and products are used in illustration. Much use is made of publications and of methods setting forth the present practice of actual plants in operation. Fall term, full study. Professor PAKE. Required: Chemistry 8. 15. METALLURGICAL CHEMISTRY AND ASSAYING.—This course includes: (a), the analysis of finished metallurgical products; as, commercial lead, spelter, aluminum, copper, etc.; and (b), the fire assay of lead, gold, and silver ores. Fluxes, reagents, and charges are studied in connection with various typical ores and practice given in the use of the crucible and muffle furnaces and in the manipulations connected with fire assaying. Fall term, full study or either division alone, half study. Professor PARR and Mr. WHITE. Required: Chemistry 5b. 16.
