COLLEGE OF SCIENCE

arranged by taking the prescribed work of the chemical course, amounting to 81 hours' credit, selecting among the chemical electives toxicology, urinalysis, and sanitary analysis, and for the other electives taking art and design, bacteriology (botany 5), biology 1, physiology 4, psychology 2, zoology 2 and 3. The completion of this course will enable the student to obtain credits amounting to one year's work upon the four years' medical course at the School of Medicine of the University of Illinois, and will prepare him for specialization in medical and physiological chemistry. Students of chemistry who intend to become commercial analysts should include among their chemical electives 5c, 8, 10, 6b, 15a, b, c, 18a, 24, 25, take bacteriology (botany 5 or 6), mineralogy ia, and fill out the rest of their electives by selection of subjects from the natural science group. EQUIPMENT FOR CHEMISTRY Laboratories.—The Chemical Laboratory is 75 by 120 feet and three stories high, including basement. The basement contains the water survey laboratory and rooms for storage and dispensing, and for work in assaying and metallurgical chemistry. The first floor has a lecture room and laboratory for general chemistry and qualitative analysis, each of which accommodates 150 students; a large private laboratory, and a store room. The second floor has a laboratory for quantitative analysis, and organic chemistry, a balance and reading room, and a large private laboratory. Several recitation rooms used by this department, and rooms for special work in physical chemistry are in University Hall. Apparatus.—The laboratories are furnished with all of the supplies required for the various lines of work in pure and applied chemistry. The apparatus for general use, all of which is new and of the most improved pattern and construction, includes thirtytwo high grade- analytical Sartorius and Troemner balances, an abundant supply of platinum ware, including combustion
