DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL EDUCATION FOR PHYSICAL SCIENCE W. R. Buss, II. P. Huish, E. S. Murphy, C. A. Osmond, F. S. Rabe The Department of General Education is a new department within the Mathematics and Physical Science Division. The courses of this department consist of Physical Science 1 and 2, which are "General Education'' courses. These courses are designed primarily for the non-physical science and non-engineering majors and aim to develop within the student: 1. An appreciation of his physical environment. 2. An understanding of scientific progress both past and present. 3. A desire to apply scientific discovery to the betterment of humanity. Students who complete the 9 credit hours in these two courses will have met the physical science group requirements if other subjects in the division are selected for that purpose. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION Physical Science 1. Physical Science. This General Education course is designed to give the student some understanding and appreciation of the important concepts of the physical sciences as they apply to social and individual problems as well as to science itself. This course draws its material from the fields of astronomy, chemistry, climatology, geology, meteorology, and physics. Four lectures and one discussion-laboratory or field trip a week. No prerequisites. Five quarter hours. Autumn, Winter, Spring. Staff 2. Physical Science. A continuation of Physical Science 1. Three lectures and one discussion-laboratory or field trip a week. Prerequisite: Physical Science 1. Four quarter hours. Autumn, Winter, Spring. Staff 11. Physical Science. (See Philosophy 4) DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY R. S. Gray, A. J. Johanson Because of the required subjects necessary for the physical sciences, a chemistry major may not be able to complete the group requirements during the Freshman and Sophomore years. These group requirements may be completed during the Junior and Senior years. A Chemistry major should carefully plan his course with his adviser. It is recommended that a student pursuing a major in chemistry complete in his first two years Chemistry 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9; Mathematics 4, 7, 8, 9, 10; and Physics 4, 5, 6. A maximum of 15 credit hours in elementary chemistry (Chemistry 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) will be credited towards graduation or accepted for credit. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION Chemistry 1. General inorganic Chemistry. A course designed for students who desire a knowledge of chemistry and its application to human welfare. This course is intended for those students taking chemistry for three quarters or less. Three lectures and two laboratory periods a week. Five quarter hours. Autumn, Winter, Spring. Gray, Johanson 2. General Inorganic Chemistry. A continuation of Chemistry 1. Prerequisite: Chemistry 1. Three lectures and two laboratory periods a week. Five quarter hours. Winter, Spring. Gray, Johanson 3. Elementary Organic Chemistry. A continuation of Chemistry 2, treating the simple compounds of carbon. Designed for students who desire a brief course in organic chemistry. Three lectures and two laboratory periods a week. Prerequisite: Chemistry 2. Five quarter hours. Spring. Gray, Johanson 4. Principles of Chemistry. A course designed for all students taking more than one year of chemistry. Previous training in chemistry and advanced algebra are strongly recommended as background. Students making exceptionally good scores in the placement examination will be grouped into a special section. Those students who make an exceptionally low score will find it advisable to withdraw from the course. Three lectures and two laboratory periods a week. Five quarter hours. Autumn, Winter. Gray, Johanson 5. Principles of Chemistry. A continuation of Chemistry 4. Pre-requisite: Chemistry 4. Three lectures and two laboratory periods a week. Five quarter hours. Winter, Spring. Gray, Johanson 6. Qualitative Inorganic Analysis. A continuation of Chemistry 5, including Qualitative Analysis. Three lectures and two laboratory periods a week. Prerequisite: Chemistry 5.
