CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL GROUP 109 Third Year Physics S, 6; Mathematics 10, 16; Astronomy 4, or Chemistry 7; Electives. Fourth Year Physics 7, or Physics 7, 8; Electives. It will generally be necessary to follow the above, but other arrangements consistent with sequences of courses may be made in special cases. DESCRIPTION QF DEPARTMENTS CHEMISTRY The chemical offerings include courses of instruction in general elementary, inorganic, organic, physical, and theoretical chemistry, and several lines of qualitative and quantitative analysis. [See Chemistry, in DESCRIPTION OF COURSES, p. 183.] The first year is devoted to the consideration of general descriptive inorganic chemistry and qualitative analysis, the first half of the second year is occupied with courses in quantitative analysis both gravimetric and volumetric, and the second half year is given to general organic chemistry. The work of these two years and that of the first half of the third year, which is devoted to more advanced organic chemistry, is prescribed for all students of the chemical courses, and is intended to impart a knowledge of the facts of chemistry, to develop skill and accuracy in manipulation, and to constitute a scientific grounding in the fundamental principles and laws of chemistry. Aside from this prescribed work there are offered numerous electives in chemistry, which, by judicious selection, afford opportunity for specialization along any of the lines of analytical, pharmaceutical, technological, or 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 con-
