THf imm Of rn APR 10 J93J UI^IVHftSiTV OF ,u,NO,S. THE STUDY OF CHEMISTRY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS URBANA, ILLINOIS 1907 _I. The purpose of this booklet is to furnish such general information concerning the work of the Department of Chemistry of the University of Illinois, that any one, contemplating study in this field of science, may know the equipment and advantages which are at the disposal of the student of the State University. UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS Aims of the Department. Thp. Department of Chemistry offers instruc- tion in all branches of this science and to students of three general classes. First, to those who wish to fit themselves for work as technical chemists in the many applications of chemistry in the arts and manufactures, such as public analysts, assayers, mining experts, food analysts, agricultural chemists and experiment station workers, sanitary water experts, electro and manufacturing chemists. Second, to those who wish to follow the vocation of teaching, or that of research worker in pure science. Third, to those who wish the general culture and mental training which this subject affords, or who may desire the knowledge necessary for pursuing other branches of science such as Medicine, Biology, etc. To suit these various requirements fifty-four courses are offered in Chemistry. These, taken in combination with various other non-technical courses lead to the B. S., or B. A. degree at the end of four years of study. One who has ap- plied himself industriously throughout his college course is usually well qualified to fill acceptably one of the several- positions, as teacher or chemist, which are often available to students of this Institution at the time of graduation. In recent years this demand for competent chemists from this laboratory has been much greater than the supply. The total registration in these courses in Chemistry this year has been 1355. This num- THE STUDY OF CHEMISTRY ber includes the registration of many students" who have taken several courses each. The total number of different persons studying chemistry this year has been 599. The University recognizes the fact that suc- cess in any science demands a broad liberal training, including mathematics, language, lit- erature and other subjects. It is for this reason that all candidates for the Bachelor's degree in Chemistry are required to devote over one half of their total time in college to these, and cognate subjects. In order to carry out this work in Chemistry in the highest order of efficiency, an adequate equipment is necessary, and available. The faculty in Chemistry is composed of twen- ty-five members whose entire time is devoted to teaching and research w^ork in this subject. Faculty. ^WILLIAM A. NOYES, Ph.

From time to tiaie short courses of lectures are given on subjects of special interest to chemists, by investigators whose eminence and leadership in their field of research is univer- sally recognized. By acquaintance and per- sonal contact with such men, added interest and inspiration are afforded the students and faculty in their work. Chemical Laboratory. The chemical laboratory and its equipment are at a high standard of efficiency. The lab- oratory was erected in 1902 at a cost, inclusive of equipment, of |150,000. It is built of red brick, with Bedford stone trimmings. It has four stories and about 80,000 feet of floor space. The ground floor plan is on the form of the let- ter E; 230 feet front and 116 feet deep on the wings. On the first floor at the center rear is a lec- ture amphitheatre with a seating capacity of 360. The central part of the building is occu- ^J hd...

The various laboratories of the State Water Sur- vey occupy an entire wing on the main floor. Here are also the oflices and laboratories of the State Geological Survey, as well as the labora- tories of Applied Chemistry. At each end on the second floor is a large lab- oratory accomodating ninety-six students each, and used by the departments of Analytical and of Organic Chemistry. Here are also found the private laboratories for research in Physical and in Organic Chemistry. On the third floor are two laboratories of General Chemistry, accomodating 350 students. Storerooms and smaller laboratories for research in Nutrition, are on this floor also. In the high, well lighted basement are found the Metallurgical and Assay Laboratories, as well as those used for coal investigations and for the chemical work of the Engineering Experi- ment Station. The laboratories and store-rooms are sup- plied with necf'Ssary apparatus and materials. The atmosphere of all lecture rooms and laboratories is kept fresh and healthful by powerful fans, operated by dynamos in the basement, which force the outer air in (over steam coils in winter), and out, through the ventilator and hood flues which are placed in every room. Libraries. Within the Chemical Laboratory is a well J 1 u u u 1 -J — 1 1 i 1 r^^ ' w* 1- 1 rJri 20 UNIVEKSITY OF ILLINOIS eijuipped departmental library, containing the necessary reference books, sets of journals, and the leading chemical periodicals of the world. In an adjoining room is the Palmer Memorial Library, containing the private collection of chemical works and journals of the late Dr. Arthur W. Palmer, head of the department, and presented to the University by Mrs. Palmer as a memorial. To his persistent energy and fore- sight, and admirable devotion to its needs, the University owes much for the excellently planned laboratory herein described. State Water Survey. This Survey is a division of the Department of Chemistry of the University of Illinois, and special laboratories are equipped in the Chem- ical Laboratory for conducting the work. StafT.

In June, 1897, the Legislature author- ized the continuance of the work and directed the trustees of the University to estabHsh a chemical and biological survey of the waters of the state. The purpose of the survey is to col- lect facts and data concerning the water supplies of the state; to make such chemical and biologi- cal examination and analyses, as shall serve to demonstrate their sanitary condition; to de- termine standards of purity of drinking waters f(3r the various sections of the state, and to pub- lish the results of these investigations. An- alyses of water for citizens of the state are made on request. Graduate Work. Especial attention is being given to research work in this department, under the auspices of the Graduate School. Those who have won the Bachelor's degree and desire to specialize in any field of chemical research, may become candidates for the dej^^ree of Master of Science, or Doctor of Philosophy. These degrees are obtained after the completion of a definite amount of work and the presentation of an ac- ceptable thesis, showing high attainments, and ability to carry out original investigations. Research W^ork and Publications. The following list of publications which have appeared in the past three years is here given.

The Chemical Laboratory of the University is the official place of meeting of the University of Illinois Section of the American Chemical Society. This Section comprises all members of the Society residing within fifty miles of the Uni- versity. Thirty members are now residing at the University. Regular monthly meetings are held, which are open to students and others interested. Papers are read and discussed, embc'dying chiefly the results of the researches done in this laboratory, which are then pub- lished in some one of the half dozen chemical journals of the country. The regular monthly meetings of the Illinois chapter of Sigma Xi are held in one of the lec- ture rooms of the Chemical Laboratory. The purpose of this society is to encourage original investigations in Science, pure and applied. To this end regular monthly meetings are held at which scientific papers are read. Fraternal re- lations are promoted between its members, and also with those of other Chapters at the various scientific centers throughout the country. The privilege of membership is open as a high honor, to a limited number of students of each graduating class who have, during their college course, shown marked ability in research and who give special promise of future achievement* The membership of this Chapter at present is one hundred and sixty-six, eighty-five being active members. THE STUDY OF CHEMISTRY 27 The Chemical Club is an organization of the students of Chemistry. It aims to promote scholarly interest in chemical science, and good fellowship among the members. Meetings are held fortnightly, in their club room in the Chemical Laboratory, at which addresses are made on subjects of interest to chemists, by its members or invited guests from the faculty. The Club has eighty-three members. The Phi Lambda Upsilon Fraternity is an honor organization of the junior and senior students and graduates who have shown special ability in chemical studies. Its chief purpose is to further an interest in chemistry and promote fraternal relations among its members. Its membership is now sixty. Occupation of Graduates.

The University has established a number of fellowships for the purpose of promoting ad- vanced scholarship and research. These are open to graduates of this and similar institutions, and carry with them an annual stipend of from two hundred and fifty to five hundred dollars. Fellowships are good for one year, but appoint- ments may be renewed to the same person. Further information will be furnished on ap- plication to the Registrar or the Dean of the Graduate School. Summer Session. The University conducts a summer session of nine weeks duration, beginning on Monday following the June Commencement. This term is equivalent to one-fourth of the University year and credit is given on that basis. The purpose of the summer session is to give to those who cannot attend during the regular college year, an opportunity to do advanced work. Leading instructors both from the Uni- versity corps of teachers and outside of it, have charge of the courses, so that the character of the instruction offered is as high as that during the regular college year. Most of these courses are intended for students who wish to pursue work for a Bach- THE STUDY OF CHEMISTRY 29 elor's or a Master's degree in the University, and are so arranged that students may special- ize in a single subject, if it seems desirable, de- voting their whole time to it. A few are for students who are preparing to enter the Uni- versity, or who wish to make up deficiencies in work of a preparatory grade. Some courses, also, have been especially arranged for the pur- pose of aiding those who teach or who wish to prepare themselves to teach in high schools, academies, and other schools. Methods of teaching will be treated in nearly all of the courses. A tuition fee of twelve dollars ($12) is re- quired of all students in regular attendance at this session. This entitles one to admission to all regular courses and to all special lectures. An extra fee is charged in laboratory courses to cover cost of material used. Examination in some of the courses may be had at the end of six weeks by those who find it impossible to remain to the end of the session. The Registrar will mail, on application, a bulletin containing complete information con- cerning the Summer Session and its courses. The University of Illinois. The University comprises the following col- leges and schools, part of them located in Urbana and part of them in Chicago. Those at Urbana are: The Graduate School. The Colleges of Liberal Arts, including the 30 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS College of Literature and Arts and the College of Science. The College of Engineering. The College of Agriculture.
