Classical Philology.-The University Library is well-equipped for advanced students in classical philology, for whose use four seminar rooms have been set aside. In these rooms are reserved complete sets of all the important journals, texts of the classical authors, and such manuals and other works as are essential for the prosecution of advanced studies. Epigraphy and Palaeography.-To provide material in epigraphy and palaeography, a fairly complete working library has been built up, while, through the generosity of the late Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst, about seven hundred facsimiles of inscriptions were made in Rome for the Department. In deciphering these facsimiles the student is given the great advantage of working with perfect copies. In palaeography, students, aside from practice in reading facsimiles have the privilege of working on original manuscripts belonging to the department. The number and variety of these manuscripts compensate, to some extent, for lack of access to the great libraries of Europe. Classical Archaeology.-The Library now possesses complete sets and the current numbers of the more important European and American archaeological journals, as well as a large proportion of existing monographs, reports of excavations, and collections of reproductions of ancient monuments. The Museum collections in classical archaeology include many original pieces of Greek, Etruscan and early Italian material, while a large series of plaster casts illustrates the best work of the principal periods of ancient art. The University has a cabinet of about three thousand coins and medals, including some eighteen hundred ancient coins of Greek States and Kingdoms, coins of the nations of Spain and Gaul, coins of early Italic states, gentile coins of Rome, and coins of the Imperial period. There are, also, many engravings, photographs and squeezes, and about four thousand lantern slides, illustrating the topography, epigraphy, monuments, art and life of ancient Greece and Rome. The classical exhibits of the Phoebe A. Hearst collections, to be incorporated in the projected University Museum, contain many original specimens of Cypriote, Greek, Roman and Etruscan vases. There are, besides, the contents of fifteen Etruscan, Graeco-Etruscan and Roman Etruscan tombs from the ancient cemeteries of Abbadia del Fiume, Sovana and Aurinia-Saturnia in Southern Etruria. A group of sepulchral pottery, and of stone effigies, from the neighborhood of Viterbo, includes a dozen life-size portraits of Etruscan citizens reclining on the lids of their own sarcophagi. The collections contain selected electrotype copies of the gold and silver objects from the royal tombs of Mycenae. The sepulchral traditions of the race to which Herodotus credits the invention of glass finds illustration in a collection of antique glasses and other tomb furniture from Syria. A group of facsimile reproductions after glass vessels of the Roman period, found in the Rhine Valley, supplements it. There are, besides, weapons, stone carvings, terra-cotta figurines and small bronzes of sepulchral origin. A collection of about one hundred examples of Greek and Roman sculpture in marble includes some specimens which occupy a definite place in the history of ancient art. It is an assemblage, by purchase, of pieces recently discovered in Italy, Greece and Asia Minor. There is a unique series of facsimile copies after the portrait panels of Greek mummies discovered in the Fayoum, Egypt, and preserved in the collections of Theodore Graf in Vienna, and of the British Museum and National Gallery in London, besides three original masks and one original painting. A group of Byzantine eikones from Italy and Russia illustrates the long survival in Christian art of Greek methods of painting. Publications.-The classical departments of the University maintain a series known as University of California Publications in Classical Philology, which is now completing eight volumes. Original work done by graduate students may be admitted to the series as well as the results of research made by members of the departments. High School Teacher's Recommendation.-Normally, 15 (but for members of the class of 1922 and thereafter 18) units of major work in Latin which must include courses in composition. The necessary credit in the latter (namely, four units in numbered courses) can usually be acquired in the lower division. The work must be distributed in such a way as to show acquaintance with Ante-Classical and Imperial Latin, and with poetry as well as prose, and must in other respects be well balanced. Candidates should arrange a programme not later than the beginning of the senior year. All candidates must have a teaching knowledge of the elements of Latin. Proficiency in specialized advanced work will in no case be allowed to offset this requirement. The teacher's course in the department is the following: 300. Teachers' Training Course. RICHARDSON. Problems in teaching Latin; estimates of textbooks; exam- Prerequisite: senior or graduate standing. Master's Degree. For the master's degree with Latin as the major subject, the usual course taken is the Latin Seminar, Course 234. By special permission of the department, which must be obtained not later than the first week of the half-year in which the degree is to be conferred, approved combinations of other graduate courses may be presented, including such graduate courses as may be offered in the summer session. The required thesis may grow out of the work of any one of the courses taken by the candidate. For the master's degree in classical archaeology, Course 283 is required. The thesis must be on an archaelogical subject and must be approved by the sub-department of classical archaeology. Before undertaking a course of study looking toward a higher degree, every student must submit his proposed schedule for approval by the department's committee on higher degrees, through the chairman of the department. Doctor of Philosophy.-The Latin department reserves the right to examine all persons who wish to apply for candidacy for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, with Latin as a major. Ordinarily, Greek must be one of the minors when Latin is the major. The second minor may be ancient history, Sanskrit, linguistics, one of the Romanic languages, the Italic dialects, Roman law, archaeology, or any other subject that is consistent with the unity of the intended course as a whole. When Latin is a first minor the candidate is expected to do two of the three years' work required of a major student. When it is the second minor, the first year's work without alternative, must be done. SUGGESTED PROGRAMME FOR PH.D. WITH LATIN AS A MAJOR Preliminary. Reading knowledge of French and German; twentyseven hours of undergraduate Latin which must include course 104. First Year: Latin 112 (Composition III); Latin Seminar; History of Roman Literature; Political History of Rome to 476 A.D.

Third Year: A Thesis on a subject selected by the candidate; special and exhaustive treatment in writing of 500 lines of an author not treated in the seminary; proof of ability to read at sight any Latin author; essay in Latin of at least 2000 words.
