Courses to be Given by Prof. Ostwald

Professor Wilhelm Ostwald, of the University of Leipzig, who was recently invited to deliver a course of lectures in the first half of the coming academic year under the arrangement with the German Government for an exchange of professors, has definitely announced the subjects of the three half-courses which he will give during his residence at Harvard. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, at 10 o'clock, he will offer Philosophy 3A, a course on the philosophy of natural science. This may be counted towards the degree of A.B. or A.M. He will also give Chemistry 17, on Saturdays at 11 o'clock, on the fundamental conceptions of chemistry; and Chemistry 18, on Tuesdays or Thursdays at 11 o'clock, on the general subject of catalysis. These last two courses taken together may be counted as a half-course; but neither by itself may be counted toward the degree of A.B., S.B. or A.M.

Professor Ostwald is well fitted to give courses on these subjects, as he is considered one of the founders of the modern science of physical chemistry, and has achieved a position of the highest rank in the scientific world as a teacher in the field of natural science.
