These divi sions are: Inorganic Chemistry (Course 195); Analytical Chemistry (Course 295); Organic Chemistry (Course 395); Physical Chemistry (Course 495); Optical Chemistry (Course 595); Sanitary Chemistry (Course 695); Industrial Chemistry (Course 795); Agricultural Chemistry (Course 895.) The elective courses required in the curriculum may be chosen by the student, in each case with the approval of the Department of Chemistry, from the advanced courses in Chemistry, or from certain courses in other departments of the College of Arts and Sciences, or in other colleges of the University. 6 CORNELL UNIVERSITY Students in the Course in Chemistry may register for 20 hours a term. To register for more than 20 hours, the student must first secure the consent of the Department. The Honor Code in Examinations Under a constitution proposed and adopted by the students, and approved by the University Faculty on March 9, 192 1, all students of Cornell University are put upon their honor with respect to their con duct in examinations and in other tests of work by which they are earning academic credit. The students have made themselves re sponsible for maintaining the code. For the trial of charges of breach of honor they elect committees of their own a central committee for the University, and a committee in each of the colleges. Every student is expected to do his share in upholding the code, not only by honorable conduct on his own part, but also by refusal to conceal or condone fraud on another's part. A fraud observed in any college should be reported to a member of the student honor Committee of that college.
