CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS 103 THE CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL GROUP AIMS The purposes of the chemical and physical group are: 1. To provide a training in the principles of chemistry and physics as part of a liberal education. 2. To furnish such instruction and training in these sciences as is requisite for the successful prosecution of studies in other sciences, i. e., biology, physiology, geology, agriculture, sanitary engineering, electrical engineering, domestic economy, etc. 3. To afford opportunity for the acquisition of the technical knowledge and skill needed in the applications of chemistry in the industrial world by the analytical chemist and expert, the manager of chemical and metallurgical industries, or the scientific and manufacturing pharmacist. 4. To meet the demands of those who are preparing themselves as teachers of chemistry and physics. 5. To lay the foundation for a career as investigator in chemistry or in physics. Suggestions as to choice of courses.—The courses in chemistry and in physics, which are outlined on pages 107 and n o include lists of electives which afford opportunities for extensive range in selection of options, so that it is possible to arrange numerous combination courses directed to various specific ends. One intending to teach chemistry and physics should take all the prescribed work of the chemical course, selecting numbers 7 and 12 among his chemical electives and taking also physics 5 or 6 and mathematics 4 ; he can then fill out the rest of his restricted and open electives by choice of studies from the natural science group or make choice of subjects in languages and h'terature, etc.; or, if he wish to devote himself more fully to physics, he should take the chemical-physical course as outlined on page 110.
