23° GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF COURSES Required: 7. Physics I and 3; Math. 9. OF SPECIAL PROBLEMS.—An advanced INVESTIGATION laboratory course in continuation of physics 5. The student is given one or more special subjects of investigation to be conducted throughout the year under the direction of the professors of the department, and special facilities will be provided for the work, either by buying special apparatus or by making it in the machine shop of the department. Fall, winter, and spring terms, full credit. Arrange hours. Professor CARMAN and Assistant Professor SAGER. Required: Physics 5 or equivalent. 8. MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS.—A course of lectures and recita- tions. The subjects treated are changed each year, and are arranged to cover the general subject in two consecutive years, each year being complete in itself. The subjects for 1898-99 are theory of electrical and magnetic potential, and Maxwell's Theory of Electricity and Optics, using in the latter course Boltzmann's and Poincare's lectures as references. Three times a week through the year. Fall, winter, and spring terms, three-fifths credit. Arrange hours. Professor CARMAN. Required: 9. Physics 4, and 5 or 6; Math. 9 (16 desired). ADVANCED ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS.—A course in the theory and practice of the calibration of electrical measuring instruments, using the potentiometer and other standard methods. Spring term, Tu., Tk, at 1.20, two-fifths study. Assistant Professor SAGER. Required: Physics 4. GRADUATE COURSES 101. Advanced Physical Measurements and Investigation. One to three credits. 102. Mathematical Physics. One to three credits. PHYSIOLOGY 1. MAJOR COURSE.—This course is founded on the previous thorough training of the student in Physics, Chemistry, and Zoology. The course is designed primarily to prepare those taking it to enter upon the study of medicine. The work begins with a comprehensive study of the microscopic structure of the tissues in general, and later includes the structure of the organs in particular, with special relation to their functions. The course includes a very complete study of physiological chemistry, so far as it relates to the
