Dean of the Graduate Division, at his office in 209 California Hall, second floor. The University issues formal Recommendations for Teachers' Certificates only to those who hold a bachelor's degree. Certificates of record for summer session work, whether of matriculation or of university grade, will be issued by the Recorder of the Faculties, upon application of any student in the session; and personal recommendations from instructors may be obtained by school officers and other inquirers through the office of the Appointment Secretary. There will be no general period of final examinations. The matter of examinations for credit will be left in the hands of the instructors, who may use the regular recitation hours for that purpose, or may hold examinations at other times, to be arranged with their classes. Νο examination is to be held except at a time which will make it possible for all the members of the class to attend without conflict with other University appointments; special examinations to suit the convenience of individuals are not permitted. Students who apply for credit in any course will be expected not only to complete all the work and examinations of the course but also to continue in regular attendance upon the class exercises until the close of the session; and students will be required to hand in all their work by that time, in order that the instructor may make his report in due season. Students are not authorized to continue any part of the work beyond the close of the session. No provision is made for re-examinations or supplementary work for the removal of deficiencies. Through the kind co-operation of the school authorities an agreement has been reached whereby practically all of the schools of California are to open not earlier than the first Monday in August and to close not later than the Saturday six weeks before the first Monday in August. California teachers will therefore be able henceforth to register on the first day of the session and to remain until the end of the sixth week. Prescribed Science for the Junior Certificate The following courses, offered in the Summer Session of 1918, may be taken in satisfaction of the prescription in natural science for the Junior Certificate. Laboratory courses are indicated by an asterisk (*) following the number of the course: Astronomy S11, Botany S2*, Chemistry A*, S1A*, S5*, S8A, S9*, Physics A*, S1, S3*, Public Health S1*, Zoology S1A*. Accommodations and Expenses There are no dormitories on the campus, but there are many boarding houses and private homes in Berkeley where in previous years students have obtained board and room at prices ranging from $30 to $45 per month. There are also several restaurants in Berkeley where meals may be had à la carte. A list of places offering board and room or either alone will be ready for distribution at the opening of the session at the bureau of information in California Hall. Every possible assistance will be given to strangers in their search for suitable boarding places. The following table will enable the student to form an estimate of the expenses, exclusive of railway fare, to be met in attending the six weeks of summer session: The Associated Students' Store carries all textbooks for summer session courses, as well as stationery and other supplies. Library Throughout the Summer Session the University Library will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday to Saturday inclusive, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday. summer Full library privileges, including the home use of books, as accorded to regular University students, will be extended to those students in the courses who register at the library, without additional fee. Persons who may desire to pursue independent courses of reading or study, during the Summer Session, without attending any of the regular exercises, may have full library privileges upon application to the Librarian, and payment of $10. Infirmary The University has a well equipped infirmary on the campus, with a full complement of physicians and trained nurses. Every student is entitled to ordinary medical and hospital care at the Infirmary without charge, it being distinctly understood that the illness to be treated arises after registration. If an operation becomes necessary, a moderate charge is made, the funds received from such operations being used for the benefit of the Infirmary. Summer Session Californian THE SUMMER SESSION CALIFORNIAN will be issued twice each week throughout the session. In addition to summer session news, it will contain announcements of lectures, concerts, exhibits, meetings of Uni versity organizations, and information concerning the library, museums, art galleries, observatories, and other parts of the University of interest to visitors. It will be mailed to any address for the six weeks of the summer session for 25 cents, payable with other fees at the office of the Comptroller, in California Hall. Greek Theatre Plans are now being made for the usual concerts and dramatic productions which for several years have been notable events of the season. Tickets will be sold to summer session students at reduced rates. Among the entertainments in the past have been choral and orchestral concerts under the direction of Paul Steindorff, "The Toad," produced by the Forest Theatre Players of Carmel, "Shakuntala" and "Jeppe on the Hill," produced by the Mountain Players' Club, Margaret Anglin's first presentation of "Antigone," the Dance-Pageant of Ruth St. Denis and her company, and the notable performances of "Nero," "King Lear," "Matsuo," and "The Talisman" by the Players' Club of San Francisco. Assemblies As a part of the official social life of the summer session, there will be an informal reception with dancing in Harmon Gymnasium each Friday evening. These assemblies will be under the supervision of Mrs. Davidson, Assistant Dean of Women. All summer session students will be admitted to these gatherings on presentation of their registration cards. Excursions The department of physical education will arrange excursions for each Saturday during the session; full announcements of these will be made later. An excursion to Mount Hamilton and the Lick Observatory will be arranged for the classes in astronomy and others who may be interested. The student in Berkeley has within easy reach the libraries, museums, parks, concerts, lectures, and theatres of San Francisco and Oakland. During the summer, when the Eastern season is over, many of the greater dramatic events of the year are to be seen in both San Francisco and Oakland. Attendants at the Summer Session will find it easy to plan outings in the country about Berkeley, or across the bay in Marin County; boating on Lake Merritt, or on the bay; a trip to Muir Woods, a national park of redwoods; tramps in the Berkeley or Piedmont hills, to Lake Chabot, Grizzly Peak, or up Mount Tamalpais (visitors may go up either by the scenic railway or the trails); salt water bathing at the Alameda beaches or the Piedmont Baths; electric car rides through Oakland to such places as San Leandro, Hayward, and San Lorenzo; sight-seeing trips about San Francisco, including Golden Gate Park, the Cliff House, the new Chinatown, and the Presidio; week-end trips to near-by towns such as San Jose, Monterey, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, Napa, etc.; tours of inspection to some of the manufacturing plants about the bay at times to be arranged in advance with the managers of the respective companies. LIBRARY The General Library, housed in the building made possible by the bequest of the late Charles F. Doe, now contains more than 350,000 volumes. It is constantly augmented by donations and exchange and by large purchases of books with the income from the Michael Reese, Jane K. Sather, E. A. Denicke, Alumnus, Meyer, Jucksch, and other funds. Books are specially bought each year for the particular courses offered during the summer session. All summer session students may enjoy full privileges of the library, including the drawing of books; and the hours of opening are the same as during the regular academic year. The extensive Bancroft collection of manuscripts and books relating to Pacific Coast history is in process of arrangement. The major portion of the manuscripts has been calendared. The resources of the Library are supplemented by borrowings from other libraries; and, similarly, the library lends its books, under proper regulation, to other institutions. Several of the departments of instruction have separately kept collections of books, useful for ready reference and classroom work. The library and reading room of the Department of Agriculture, situated in Agriculture Hall, receives the publications of the experiment stations of the United States and other countries, as well as pamphlets on agricultural subjects published by various governments and commissions. About one hundred and forty dailies, weeklies, and monthlies are regularly received. MUSEUMS AND LABORATORIES Psychological Laboratory. The whole of the second and third floors of the Philosophy Building and part of the basement are devoted to the psychological laboratory. Besides a full equipment for class instruction and for demonstrations in connection with lectures, as well as an extensive collection of the printed forms and other materials for use in conducting mental tests with children and adults, the laboratory is provided with a large number of special instruments for investigations in all the principal lines of pscyhological experiment. There is also an ample collection of such auxiliary instruments as are most frequently required in setting up special apparatus for research, and there is a shop equipped for carpenter work. In addition to the main laboratory room, there are several quiet rooms suitable for research purposes, a large dark and silent room, and a photographic dark room with full equipment. All the rooms are connected by switchboard with high and low potential electric current and are served with alternating lighting current and gas. The equipment includes the more important psychological instruments, of late pattern, from the best makers. There is also a good collection of models, casts, and charts of the brain and the sense organs, and a full assortment of materials for demonstration and experiment. The Physical Laboratories are located in South Hall. There are set apart rooms for elementary and for advanced work, for photometry, for spectroscopie research with a Rowland grating, for measurements in heat and in electricity, and for a workshop. The apparatus includes many instruments and standards for fundamental measurements from makers of the best reputation, and the laboratory employs two competent mechanicians, who are continually increasing the equipment from original designs. It offers good facilities to students who wish to pursue the study of physics beyond the limits of the prescribed courses, whether for the sake of physics itself or in connection with other subjects, like electrical engineering, astro-physics, the practical uses of polarized light, and physical chemistry. Such students may make special arrangements for using the laboratory. Students' Observatory (Berkeley Astronomical Department).
