GRADUATE DIVISION Requests for information regarding graduate study in special subjects may be addressed to the following officers: HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF GRADUATE INSTRUCTION As early as 1881 the University of California had a small number of "resident graduates," and the faculty had arrived at the determination to bestow higher degrees only on the completion of prescribed courses of advanced study. The degree of Ph.D. was bestowed once only as an honorary degree (1881). In 1885 it was bestowed for the first time for the successful completion of graduate studies in residence. In that year the University had six graduate students "pursuing advanced studies under the direction of the faculty." In 1885 and 1886 the University had one graduate student in candidacy for the degree of M.A. and seven pursuing special subjects. The Register for 1886-87 announced in detail the conditions of residence and scholarship for the attainment of Doctor's and Master's degrees. Candidates for higher degrees were required to be graduates of the academic department of this University or of some other university or college of acknowledged good standing. The candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy was required to pursue an approved course of study for a period of at least three years, two spent in residence at the University, pass a final examination and produce an acceptable thesis. The candidate for a Master's degree was required to pursue an approved course of study for a period of at least one year, pass an examination and present an acceptable thesis. Since 1895 the administration of graduate work has been under the charge of a special committee of the Academic Senate. Under a resolution passed in 1917, this committee is known as the Graduate Council and comprises the Dean of the Graduate Division, the Dean of the Faculties, the Dean of the Summer Session, and the Recorder of the Faculties, ex officio, together with eighteen other members appointed by the President. These members are so chosen as to give adequate representation to the larger divisions of graduate study associated with the degrees of M.A. and Ph.D., as well as to engineering, agriculture, and the schools of Architecture, Education, Jurisprudence, and Medicine. From 1875 to 1918, inclusive, the University of California bestowed 413 degrees of Master of Science, 244 of Master of Letters, 713 of Master of Arts, 7 of Graduate in Architecture, 2 of Graduate in Education, 7 of Graduate in Public Health, 149 of Juris Doctor, 1 of Civil Engineer, 1 of Electrical Engineer, 1 of Metallurgical Engineer, 1 of Mining Engineer, 202 of Doctor of Philosophy. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA PUBLICATIONS In order to make generally available such contributions to knowledge as may develop in the prosecution of research work, the University issues several series of publications under the official title of University of California Publications. This medium of publication is open to any member of the University, the papers being accepted solely on the basis of merit as new and original work. Results of research work done by advanced students, including theses for higher degrees, may be accepted for publication by the University on the same footing with other contributions to knowledge. The University of California Publications cover the following subjects: Agricultural Sciences, American Archaeology and Ethnology, Astronomy, Botany, Classical Philology, Economics, Education, Engineering, Entomology, Geography, Geology, History, Mathematics, Modern Philology, Pathology, Philosophy, Psychology, Semitic Philology, and Zoology. The University publishes also a quarto series, entitled Memoirs of the University of California; the University of California Chronicle, a quarterly journal; a Monthly Meteorological Synopsis of Berkeley, a semi-annual Bulletin of the Seismographic Stations; a Prize Essay series; a Library bulletin, and the circulars and bulletins of the Agricultural Experiment Station. A circular containing a list of the publications of the University may be obtained by application to the University Press. Detailed statements concerning the following will be found in the BRIEF CIRCULAR OF INFORMATION, September, 1918. Appointment Registry; Summer Session; Site and Climate of Berkeley. Information concerning Fellowships and Graduate Scholarships for 191819 will be found in a separate circular to be obtained from the Dean of the Graduate Division. |
