no COLLEGE OF SCIENCE sists chiefly of reviews and discussions of assigned articles in current numbers of the various journals. One or two semesters' work in the fourth year must be devoted to the investigation of some chemical problem. This practice 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 to become teachers of physical science opportunity is offered for the acquirement of some experience in supervising laboratory practice in elementary chemistry. The wofk includes criticism and discussion of methods and application of pedagogical principles and is 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. They may be further supplemented by special advanced work along some chosen line. Frequent visits are made to metallurgical and other works employing chemical processes. PHYSICS The department of physics offers a lecture course in general descriptive physics with class room experiments, extending through the year, and accompanied by an introductory laboratory course in physical measurements. This is followed by two courses, one experimental and the other theoretical. In the experimental course the student is trained in the most exact methods of making the fundamental physical measurements and taught how to discuss his results. The theoretical course running parallel to this discusses, with the aid of elementary calculus, the theory of some of the main subjects of physics. In the senior year the student is supposed to take up some special problem for investigation and to center his laboratory work about that. An advanced mathematical course is also offered for those who wish to follow the most advanced theories and results of the science.
