COLLEGE OF SCIENCE

applied chemistry, or pharmacy, or may further develop his knowledge of pure chemistry. In order that an acquaintance with chemical literature may be had, and to keep pace with the advances in chemistry, students of the third and fourth years are required to take part in the chemical seminary in which the work consists chiefly of reviews and discussions of assigned articles in current numbers of the various journals. Two terms' work in the fourth year are devoted to the investigation of some chemical problem. This practice both furnishes an opportunity to specialize along some chosen line and serves as an introduction to the methods of chemical research. To students who are preparing themselves to become teachers of science, an opportunity is offered for the acquirement of some experience in supervising laboratory practice in Elementary Chemistry. The work will include criticism and discussion of methods, and application of- pedagogical principles and will be conducted with the cooperation of the department of pedagogy.

APPLIED CHEMISTRY

In this department there are offered ten separate courses in technological subjects. These require as preliminary work the seven general and analytical courses from 1 to 5b inclusive. They may be further supplemented by special advanced work along some chosen line. For special description of courses, see under Chemistry in the DESCRIPTION OF COURSES. Frequent visits are made to metallurgical and other works employing chemical processes. Seminary work along general and technical lines is conducted for two years of the course. The purpose of the course is to offer the largest possible opportunity for equipment as technical and manufacturing chemists, superintendents, etc., or as chemical engineers in the work of supervising or planning the installation of metallurgical or other chemical plants.

PHARMACY

Two courses in pharmacy are offered, one covering two ^ears and the other, which leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science, extending over four years. The former is designed
