PHYSICS FREDERICK SLATE, B.S., Professor of Physics. E. PERCIVAL LEWIS, Ph.D., Professor of Physics. WILLIAM J. RAYMOND, B.S., Associate Professor of Physics. LLOYD T. JONES, Ph.D., Instructor in Physics. Courses 1A-1B to 4A-4B are fundamental and designed to meet the needs of students preparing for applications of physics, or advanced work in the subject itself. Students will profit greatly if they supplement the course of laboratory work regularly laid out. For credit on special and supplementary laboratory work see courses 18 and 118. The physical laboratory will be open five days a week throughout the year, and may be used, under the guidance of the instructors concerned, by advanced students. The equipment of the laboratories is modern and extensive, and the University Library contains complete sets of all the important physical journals, and the proceedings and transactions of most of the academies and other societies. The laboratory deposit for courses 1A, 1B, 3A, and 3в is $10 each; for courses 2c and 2D, $5 each; for course 1AB, $15; and for all other courses at the rate of $5 a half-year for each laboratory exercise a week. The fees are: For courses 1A or 1B, $6; for 3A or 3B, $8; for 2c or 2D, $4; for 1AB, $12; for other courses, one-half the deposit. These amounts plus payment for special damage are deducted from the deposits and the balance is returned. Students who choose upper division courses in physics must include an adequate amount of laboratory exercises in the work chosen; the instructors should be consulted on this point. Students who are preparing to take physics as a major subject should guide their work by these general suggestions: (1) The preferable choice for the prerequisite in physics is courses 2A-2B, 4A-4B, 3A-3B. (2) It is advantageous to include courses 104A and 105A in any plan, because they give control of fundamental methods. (3) Selection among major courses in physics is limited in range, unless a foundation has been laid in differential and integral calculus. (4) Proper access to references cannot be had without power to read physics in French and German. (5) On special questions affecting individual cases confer early with members of the department concerned in the major courses likely to be selected. Teacher's Recommendation. 24 units of physics will be required for the teacher's recommendation, exclusive of all Courses for Teachers."' Applicants for the recommendation with physics as a major, in making up this number of units, must include in their work the equivalent of courses 2A-2B, 4A-4B, and 3A-3B. See statements under these headings, and under course 118. The work done in the upper division must be distributed among several of the main provinces of physics; and it must be balanced properly as regards inclusion of theory and of practical exercises in the laboratory. In all cases proposed combinations of courses should be submitted for approval to the professor in charge of the department of physics. LOWER DIVISION COURSES 1A-1B. General Physics.
