Hospital Dietitian's Graduate Course.-The hospital dietitian's graduate year follows the usual undergraduate major in household science, and requires residence at the University of California Hospital in San Francisco. The course is offered in coöperation with the University of California Medical School and Hospitals, and is designed to furnish the practical as well as the theoretical training for the profession of hospital dietitian.

This course requires the equivalent of six months as practical dietitian in the hospital, the equivalent of six months clinic and laboratory practice, and the active prosecution of a problem in the metabolism laboratory, in clinic, or in some other field. Upon satisfactory completion of this problem, and of the prescribed credit-bearing courses to be included in the year curriculum, the degree of Master of Science is awarded the candidate.

The undergraduate sequence recommended as preparation for this work is as follows: 101A-101в, 120A-120в, 130, Biochemistry 101 (full course), Public Health Nursing, Economics 180 and 182.

In the graduate year courses 220, 216 and 219 as well as the prescribed hospital work, are included.

such food with reference to hygiene, nutritive value,
flavor, and cost; an introduction to quantitative methods
in food analysis.

102. Food and Dietetics.

The methods and materials involved in the organization and
presentation of such scientific and economic facts and
theories as may be helpful to the home-maker. Consid-
eration of the problems of the teaching of vocational
home-making under the provisions of the Smith-Hughes

demonstrations, lectures, continuation classes, arrange-
ment of exhibits, and other forms of extension activity.
Open to seniors or graduates in household science.

MORGAN.

120A-120B. Dietetics.
The quantitative basis of dietetics established through typical
experiments in food analysis and calorimetry, digestion
experiments, respiration and dietary records, nitro-en

digestion and metabolism with emphasis upon energy
relations; the application of these principles to practical
feeding problems of the individual and the group.

Study of suitable equipment for teaching household science
in elementary and secondary schools; planning of courses,
and of single lessons; observations of classes; practice in
demonstrations of food preparation and classification.

125. Quantitative Experimental Cookery.

WILLIAMS. Food preparation under controlled conditions. Special problems are assigned to individual students as preparation for research in food and nutrition.

127. The Technique of Food Preparation.

WILLIAMS.

A critical constructive review of technique for students
planning to teach cooking in the secondary schools. Open
only to candidates for the teacher's recommendation offer-
ing a major or minor in household science.

130. The Nutrition of Development.

MORGAN.

The chemistry and physiology of ovulation, intra-uterine de-
velopment, lactation, and growth; normal and subnormal
nutrition in infancy and childhood; practice in the solu-
tion of feeding problems; clinic and follow-up work are
included.

HYGIENE

Professors: R. T. LEGGE, J. N. FORCE, R. CUNNINGHAM.
Instructors: L. CAIRNS, M. BEATTIE.

Facilities. In addition to the equipment necessary for the study of communicable diseases, the laboratory of hygiene contains apparatus for conducting the analysis of milk, water, and air from the standpoint of public health. The University Library contains a collection of standard books on hygiene and related subjects, together with the leading periodicals.

Research. The principal researches which have been completed or are now in progress in the department of hygiene comprise studies of diphtheria and typhoid carriers, investigation of alleged air purification by means of ozone, transmission of poliomyelitis, culture of poliomyelitis and rabies, laboratory methods for differentiating between smallpox and chicken pox, methods of simplifying cowpox vaccination, comparison of various types of typhoid vaccine, comparison of various types of smallpox vaccine, intradermal vaccination, development of bacteria, free smallpox vaccine, and the administrative application of the skin reaction of immunity.

Graduate Courses.-The graduate instruction in hygiene is closely related to medicine, sanitary engineering, economics, veterinary science, entomology, and zoology. The professional course in public health comprises a curriculum in these subjects, the completion of which leads to the degree of Graduate in Public Health.*

IRRIGATION

Professors: B. A. ETCHEVERRY, S. T. HARDING.

Facilities.--In the general library is an extensive collection of Ameriean and foreign publications on all phases of irrigation. In the departmental library are collected special American and foreign government publications and engineering reports. The department has a large collection of drawings, blueprints, lantern slides, and photographs of irrigation structures. In the civil engineering museum are housed models and samples of special irrigation devices.

The scope of research work is indicated by the titles of problems such as: the irrigation district movement in California, the economic design of canals, the standardization of principles of design of structures used on irrigation systems, compilation of hydraulic data pertaining to the design of irrigation systems, a study of the literature on the water requirements of plants, and irrigation policies of foreign countries.

Preliminary Requirements.-Preliminary undergraduate attainments essential to full graduate standing in the department shall be either the completion of the undergraduate course of study prescribed for the irrigation course in the College of Civil Engineering, or the completion of the undergraduate course of study outlined for the irrigation course in the College of Agriculture in the prospectus of that college.

Master's Degree.-Students other than engineering students should elect Irrigation 208 in partial satisfaction of the requirements for a major for the master's degree.
