All major courses are definitely announced as such, and are given the numbers 100-199, as is explained below.

Excepting only the major courses, all undergraduate courses, whether in the lower or upper division, are numbered from 1 to 99, inclusive. Undergraduate major courses are numbered from 100 to 199, inclusive. Graduate courses are numbered from 200 to 299, inclusive.

Year Courses; Double Numbers.

The student will use the first number in registering for the course during its first half-year, and the second number during its second half year. A final report will be made by the instructor at the end of each half-year; provisional mid-year reports in year courses have been discontinued. student may discontinue the course at the end of the first half-year, with final credit for the first half of the course.

THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY

The University Library building, provided by the bequest of the late Charles F. Doe, was first occupied in June, 1911, at the opening of the Summer Session. The library at present contains over 340,000 volumes. A collection of about 12,000 volumes, chiefly reference books and general literature has been accumulated on open shelves in the large reading room, free of access to all students; in addition, the Reserved Book Room, housing the assigned readings, and the seminar rooms, in which special collections on various subjects are installed, provide accommodations for both undergraduate and more advanced workers.

Among the more important special collections may be mentioned the Bancroft Library of west American history, which is unique in its field, and the Weinhold collection on Germanic philology and folklore. The law library of something over 20,000 volumes is separately housed in the Boalt Hall of Law.

The current serials and periodicals, amounting to considerably over 7,000 titles, are kept in a special room of the University Library. Much unusual material, especially in the field of foreign scientific publications, is received in exchange for the publications of the University and is included here.

The resources of the library are supplemented by an inter-library loan system, and information as to the resources of certain other large libraries, which can be drawn upon when necessary, is provided by the depository catalogue. This contains the printed cards of the Library of Congress, the University and the John Crerar libraries in Chicago, and the Harvard University Library, as well as cards on special subjects published by the Royal Library in Berlin.

Copies of the University Library handbook may be obtained on application to the librarian.
