I found these two sentences in "A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar" under
に(purpose):

> 学生が質問をしに来た。 A student came to ask questions.
>
> そこへ何をしに行くんですか。For what are you going there?

When I look up し in the grammar dictionary its listed as "a conjunction to
indicate 'and' in an emphatic way", which doesn't fit as far as I can tell.
When I look し up in a regular dictionary all the words are nouns. What does it
mean?

question
meaning verbs
How is し used as a verb in this sentence?
し in this case is for the verb する. It is not the し for "a conjunction to
indicate 'and' in an emphatic way" in this case.  
It is one of the very few irregular verbs so it is understandable that you
might get confused.

To do

> する → します → しに来た。(Came to do X)

To eat (regular example)

> 食べる → 食べに来た。(Came to eat)
