MINOR COURSE.—ELEMENTARY AND EXPERIMENTAL CHEM-

ISTRY.—This course deals with the general principles of the science; the commoner elements only and their typical compounds are studied, and these are considered largely for the purpose of illustration. The laboratory work comprises a series of such experiments, many of them quantitative, as serve best to illustrate the relations between the observed facts and the general principles, and to familiarize the student with the methods of chemistry. Remsen's Introduction to Chemistry. I.; Lecture, M., Tu., W., F., 5; Laboratory, section A, M., W., F., 1 and 2; section B, M., W., F., 7 and 8; section C (engineers only), Tu., Th., 7 and 8; for engineers, (4); for all others, (5). Professor PALMER, Assistant Professor GRINDLEY, Mr.

SAMMIS, and Mr. SY. 2. DESCRIPTIVE INORGANIC CHEMISTRY.—This course is required

of all chemical students. It is mainly devoted to a study of the metallic elements, their classification, compounds, and chemical properties. The work is from lectures and assigned texts, without laboratory work. Remsen's Advanced Course. II.; M., W., F.; 1; (3). Assistant Professor GRINDLEY. Required: Chemistry 1.

2a. INORGANIC PREPARATIONS.—This is a laboratory course

designed to accompany the descriptive work of course 2. The work includes the precipitation, crystallization, and purification of various salts, the material being largely obtained from laboratory wastes. Thorpe's Inorganic Chemical Preparations. II.; Tu., Th., S.; •> and 4i (3)- Assistant Professor GRINDLEY, and Mr. SY. Required: Chemistry 1. 3a. QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS.—This course includes a study of salts, their formation, solubilities, chemical reactions, etc. The periodic classification of the elements is made the basis for developing the principles of analysis. The work in the laboratory, after illustrating these principles, is occupied with the determination of basic and acid constituents of a given number of unknown substances. Analysis is also made of more complex substances, including natural and commercial products; and the work concludes with a comparative study of methods, difficult separations and problems in synthesis. / / . ; Lecture, section A, Tu., Th., 5; section B, Tu., Th., 8; Laboratory, daily, section A, 3 and 4; section B, 6 and 7; (5).
