able at all times during the academic year, and the student will be assigned a working place with accommodations for his collected material, for instruments, books, et cetera, which he may make his headquarters and where he may do continuous and undisturbed work convenient to the departmental reference collections and library. Research. The facilities of the department for research work are open to any student prepared to carry on investigations in any of its branches. A weekly seminar is conducted by Professor Louderback in petrographic geology (Geology 214F). The general topic for 1918-19 was the petrology and geology of igneous rocks, for 1919-20, sedimentation. Students pursuing advanced systematic study and research work will be enrolled under some branch of Geology 214. As a rule it is desirable that the thesis or research problem be based on a field study, and the student should arrange to spend considerable time in the summer vacation on his field work. Higher Degrees.-The work acceptable as a minor for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy or major for the master's degree will differ according to the interests of the students. It is recognized that the purpose may be (1) to get a general elementary knowledge of the nature, characteristics, and the criteria for distinguishing the main rock types. It is suggested that a minimum of 4 units per term for a year (including seminar and research work) be devoted to this work beyond the completion of Geology 104B, in addition to the thesis, where such is required. Or the purpose may be (2) to learn more thoroughly certain particular types of rocks or rock products (such as replacements, veins, weathering types, soils, et cetera), and (or) the special petrographic methods applicable to their study that may be useful adjuncts in the student's major line. Such major interest might lie in one of the various branches of geology, or mineralogy, in metalliferous deposits, certain problems in engineering, physiography, soil studies, et cetera. MINERALOGY Facilities. The department offers to the student of graduate standing excellent facilities for study in any branch of mineralogical science. The library is well supplied with foreign and domestic periodicals and books bearing on every phase of the subject. The mineral collections contain much material worthy of detailed study, and the laboratories for crystallographic, optical, physical, and chemical investigation are equipped with all necessary apparatus for such work. Research.-Research may be pursued along the lines of pure crystallography and of pure mineralogy, or, in conjunction with geology, particular fields of mineral deposits may be studied in detail. The state offers exceptional advantages to the investigator because few of its known mineral deposits have been described, and numerous contact zones, pegmatitic dykes, mineral veins, and lake deposits afford attractive problems. Preliminary Requirements.-Enrollment as a graduate student in mineralogy presupposes a knowledge of minerals sufficiently extensive to enable the student to carry on independent research in the subject. In general, it would require a full undergraduate major in mineralogy or its equivalent. Students enrolled in courses 207 and 208 may undertake any line of crystallographic or mineralogical investigation and will have the advice and assistance of the members of the department. GERMAN Professors: H. K. SCHILLING, C. PASCHALL, A. PUTZKER, Emeritus, J. H. SENGER, Emeritus. Instructors: C. H. BELL, F. SCHNEIDER, L. M. PRICE, A. P. TABOR. Facilities.-Ample library facilities are at hand for graduate work. In addition to the large collection in German literature and linguistics and the complete files of the standard periodicals found in the University Library, graduate students have at their disposal the Weinhold Library, with its eight thousand volumes, containing many rare old books and first editions. Research. In the pro-seminars original investigations are carried on in connection with the study of particular periods or authors in German literature (see courses 210, 242); the Germanic Seminar (250) is devoted to research in subjects chosen from any part of the domain of German philology and literature, according to each student's previous preparation and individual bent. At the present time researches are being carried on along three lines: the origin of the German form of the future tense, the survival of traces of matriarchy in the mediaeval German epics, and the attitude of Goethe towards the higher politics of his day. Publications. The department of German publishes, jointly with the other modern language departments, a series of monographs entitled University of California Publications in Modern Philology. In this series studies in the following subjects have appeared: Der Junge Goethe und das Publikum; Wilhelm Busch als Dichter, Künstler, Psychologe and Philosoph; Histrionies in the Dramas of Franz Grillparzer; Rousseau's Einfluss auf Klinger; Das gerettete Venedig, eine vergleichende Studie. Preliminary Requirements for Higher Degrees.-The prerequisites for admission to candidacy for a higher degree are: the ability to read difficult literary Germany and to write and speak the language correctly and with a fair degree of readiness; a general knowledge of the history of German literature; an acquaintance at first hand with the principal classies. The following groups of courses, each group representing a year's work, are suggested as furnishing the required preparation: 105, 106A-106в, with possibly 107 or 110; 106c-106D, 118, with possibly 111, or 119. For the special study of German literature a reading knowledge of Latin and French and a general acquaintance with German history and the history of philosophy are practically indispensable. For philological work some knowledge of Greek is highly desirable. Master's Degree.-Candidates for the master's degree must have a general knowledge of the history of German literature, including a more intimate acquaintance with some particular period, together with a knowl. edge of Middle High German. Doctor of Philosophy.-Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosphy in German must present both philology and literature, one as their major, the other as a minor. Candidates whose major is philology will be examined in Gothic, Old Saxon, Old High German, Middle High German, and the history of the German language generally. Those presenting literature as a major will be examined in the history of German literature, a general knowledge of the whole field being required, together with a more detailed knowledge of one period, author, or literary type. Candidates presenting philology as a minor will be examined in Old High German, Middle High German, and the outlines of the history of the German language. The requirement for the minor in literature is a general knowledge of the history of German literature. As a second minor for those specializing in philology, either Old French, Old English, or Old Norse is suggested, for those specializing in literature, any other European literature, or else history, or philosophy. But the second minor is entirely optional. GRADUATE COURSES Prerequisite: for the literary courses, course 118A-118B; for those in philology, ordinarily courses 106c-106D, and 119A. 206J-206K.
