HONORS

(a) In the College of Letters and Science, honors with the bachelor's degree will be conferred only upon students who shall have completed a 24-unit major with distinction; the list of students upon whom honors are conferred, with mention of their major departments, will appear in the annual Commencement programme. See under Upper Division, above.

(b) In the Colleges of Chemistry, Engineering, Agriculture, and Commerce, students may receive honors with the bachelor's degree on the basis of the quality of the work done in the regular curriculum of the senior year, or of a thesis showing ability to do original work, or of distinction in the advanced work of any department, as attested by the recommendation of that department.

The Academic Senate has established a standing committee of seven members on honors, whose duty it is to report from time to time on matters concerning uniformity of standard and the co-ordination of the requirements of the several departments.

HONORABLE MENTION

The term "Honorable Mention" shall be placed upon the junior certifi cates of students who have attained at least second grade in forty-eight (48) units of their freshman and sophomore courses. The receipt of honorable mention with the junior certificate does not reduce the amount of, or in any way modify, the work required in the upper division.

DEGREES

Every undergraduate student who intends to become a candidate for a degree must file with the Recorder of the Faculties a detailed schedule of studies offered for the degree sought. This schedule must be filed by regular students at least six calendar months, by all other students at least one full academic year, before the date proposed for graduation, and must be approved by the committee on graduation of the college in which the student is enrolled.

Of the one hundred and twenty-four (or more) units required for the bachelor's degree, at least twenty-four units must have been completed at this University.

Courses not required by the curriculum for graduation may be dropped from the record of any student on formal petition to the Faculty concerned.

Work done in any professional college or school of this or any other university, or in any independent professional school, will not be accepted as a substitute for any part of the work of the first three years of the undergraduate course or of the first year of the upper division.

Work done in a professional college of this university by a regular student will be accepted as a substitute for not more than one year's work (normally the senior year) in a college of general culture, the amount and character of said year's work to be determined after consultaion with the professional faculties.

As a matter of courtesy between different faculties of the University, there is no objection to the acceptance of work done in a professional college as a substitute for work done in an academic college, provided such substitution be made in accordance with the regulations and with the consent of the department concerned at Berkeley certifying that the work is of equal value. But such work cannot be counted twice (except by special legislation), once for a professional degree in a professional college and again also for an academic degree.

All the graduates of any one calendar year-January 1 to December 31-shall be ranked as belonging to the so-called class of that year.

THE GRADUATE SCHOOL

For information regarding all matters pertaining to the Graduate School, including the requirements for the degrees of Master of Arts, Master of Science, Graduate in Public Health, Graduate in Architecture, Juris Doctor, Mechanical Engineer, Civil Engineer, Metallurgical Engineer, and Doctor of Philosophy, see the Announcement of the Graduate School for 1915-16, to be obtained upon application to the Recorder of the Faculties.

Students in Public Health, Curricula A and B, are subject to the fee of $150 for the year spent in the Medical School; students in Curriculum C are subject to the fee of $75 during the half-year in the Medical School (second half of the fifth year). The following incidental expenses are to be met:

Gymnasium and Infirmary Fees.-The gymnasium fee is $2 per halfyear, and the infirmary fee is $3 per half-year; both are payable by every student, graduate or undergraduate, before his study-card is filed. These fees entitle students to gymnasium and hospital privileges, and are not remitted, in whole or in part, for those who may not desire to make use of these privileges. Gymnasium privileges comprise, besides the use of the gymnasium, tennis courts, swimming pool, baths, lockers, washrooms, etc. The infirmary fee entitles students, in case of illness, to hospital care (cost of surgical operations not included) or dispensary treatment. One-half of the amount of these fees is returned to students who leave the University during the first half-year before September 1, or during the second half-year before February 1.
