of laboratory work. It comprises determinations of vapor density, specific heat, depression of freezing point, elevation of boiling point, and calculation of molecular and atomic weights from the data thus obtained, followed by use of calorimeter, polariscope, and other instruments, in determining such constants as serve in characterization or for quantitative estimation of chemical substances, or which serve as the basis of theoretical generalizations. Occasional lectures and the reading of assigned subjects accompany the laboratory work. Fall, winter, or spring terms, full study. Professor PALMEB. Required : Chemistry 2, 5b ; Physics 1, 3.

8. IBON AND STEEL ANALYSIS.—Methods for determi-

nation of all the constituents are studied, including both rapid and standard methods, especial attention being given to technical methods for determination of phosphorus and sulphur. Spring term, full study. Professor PABB and Mr.

WHITE.

Required: Chemistry 5b. 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. Bernthsen's Organic Chemistry is used as reference and textbook. 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 and Assistant

Professor GRINDLEY.

Required: Chemistry 2, 5a. 10. SANITARY ANALYSIS.—One whole term is devoted to the chemical examination of potable and mineral waters. Detection and estimation of some of the most important poisons, organic and inorganic. Fall term,full study. Professor PALMER. Required: Chemistry 5a.

11. INVESTIGATIONS AND THESIS.—Candidates for gradua-

tion from the chemical courses are required to devote at least
