Not illustrated. 1902 Excerpt: ...Constants.' Mr. Hubbard is doing further work on a new method for determining sulphur in slags, which formed the basis of his thesis last year. There are at present seven candidates for the doctor's degree whose major subject is quantitative analys s, besides a number who are preparing for research in this line by taking the required prerequisite studies; several of these students are now studying for their master's degree. The increasing number of gradua e students in the lines of analytical chemistry with the great increase of the undergraduates in the schools of Mines and Engineering, overcrowds the space at present assigned to Analytical Chemistry and Assying. 0RGANIC CHEMISTRY. At the close of the last academic year, Dr. Charles E. Caspari, the assistant in 0rganic Chemistry, withdrew to take charge of the research laboratory of the Mallinokrodt Chemical Works of St. Louis, Mo. His place has been filled by the appointment of Dr. Victor J. Chambers, a graduate of Johns Hopkins University. The lecture course in elementary organic chemistry (Chem. 20), in charge of Dr. Chambers, starts this year with nine students, which is quite encouraging in view of the fact that the course, as now remodeled, is a purely elective one, designed primarily for college students and for those intending to enter the medical department. By a special arrangement, consummated last year, this course is repeated at Barnard, where Dr. Chambers also supervises the laboratory work in organic chemistry (Chem. 30). Among the graduates in chemislry last June, two of those who specialized in organic chemislry have entered the rankof teachers: D. C. Eccles, B.S., A.M., as instruct' r in chemistry at the Agricultural College, Pullman, Wash., and M. R. Moffatt, B.S., as assistant in physic...
