10.  Physical  Laboratory.  This  course  is  one  primarily  designed
for  teachers  of  elementary  physics  and  those  students  who  desire
to  study  more  thoroughly  elementary  physical  principles  in  the
various  branches.  In  general  the  simpler  forms  of  apparatus  are  used
but  of  such  a  grade  as  to  adapt  them  to  the  needs  of  careful  investi-
gators. In  general  the  apparatus  is  not  set  up,  in  order  that  the
student  may  get  the  practice  not  only  of  making  observations  but
also  of  making  things  go.  The  apparatus  available  afifords  study  in
units  and  their  relations,  statics,  kinetics,  molecular  physics,  light,
sound,  electricity  and  magnetism.  For  the  work  in  the  summer  ses-
sion courses  may  be  arranged  at  the  beginning  of  the  term  for  each
individual  student  covering  as  many  or  as  few  of  the  general  divisions
of  the  subject  as  seems  desirable.  These  courses  may  be  varied  to
meet  the  needs  of  the  students  as  the  work  progresses,  as  in  all  cases
individual  instruction  is  given,  and  it  is  not  necessary  for  any  two
students  to  follow  the  same  outline.  The  idea  is  to  make  the  work
as  flexible  as  possible,  giving  each  student  work  in  his  chosen  line.
Occasional  discussions  of  general  interest  may  be  held  covering
such  subjects  as  methods  of  making  observations  and  of  using  them
to  the  best  advantage,  accuracy  of  results,  computations,  errors,  the
interpretation  of  data  by  means  of  curves,  the  theory  of  particular
experiments  and  such  other  topics  as  may  come  up  from  time  to  time.
University  students  having  the  requisite  requirements  for  admission
to  course  10  in  Physics  as  given  in  the  register  for  the  year  1906-7
may  elect  this  course,  following  the  schedule  prescribed  for  regular
work  during  the  academic  year.
One  to  five  three-hour  periods  per  week  throughout  the  session.
