NATURAL SCIENCE. The course in natural science begins with Physical Geog­ raphy in the Junior Preparatory year, and ends with Biol­ ogy in the Senior Collegiate year. It covers most of the six years, and is systematically graded. At the beginning of the fall term of the Sophomore year Remsen’s Briefer Course in Chemistry is taken up and com­ pleted in two terms. The work includes an extended study of the elements Oxygen. Chlorine, Nitrogen, Sulphur and Carbon as representatives of the more important families of the elements. In addition to these the fundamental princi­ ples of Chemical Action are considered. Included in these tire the laws of Definite and Multiple Proportions, the Atom­ ic Theory, and the Classification of the Elements according to the Periodic Law. Throughout the two terms sufficient time is given to the laboratory work to illustrate the princi­ ples which are being studied, and the entire Spring term is devoted to Qualitative Analysis of the more common metals. Williams’ Chemical Experiments, General and Analytical, is the guide used.
