half of the amount of these fees is returned to students who leave the University during the first half-year before September 1, or during the second half-year before February 1.

A law library fee of $12.50 per half-year is payable at the time of registration by every student registering in more than one professional course in law.

Laboratory Fees. In the laboratories a charge is made for materials actually used. This charge, for students in the elementary laboratories, amounts to from $5 to $30 per annum.

Other expenses are: Books and stationery, from $15 to $25 per annum. All students are eligible to membership in the Associated Students of the University of California. The cost of a membership card is about $5 per year. The card entitles the holder to participation in the affairs of the Associated Students; a free subscription to the Daily Californian; free admission to all athletic contests held on the campus under the jurisdiction of the Associated Students with the exception of final intercollegiate contests, and membership in the Associated Students' Store with the privilege of rebates on all purchases.

The ordinary yearly expenses of a student in the academic departments, including personal expenses, would probably be at least $650.

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION

The Extension Division serves persons who seek training and information but who cannot attend the University. It is a means of extending to the people of California, so far as practicable, the usefulness of the University. It aims to help as many citizens as possible to utilize their leisure and to meet more fully their civic responsibilities. It aims to help official and voluntary groups to make their communities stable, prosperous and progressive. It aims to promote sound public opinion in support of American institutions and ideals.

The work covers two fields of activity, instruction and public service, and is carried on through six departments.

I. INSTRUCTION

1. The Department of Class Instruction organizes and conducts classes in cities and towns wherever a sufficient number of people can be secured who wish to study the same subject. Instruction is offered in the languages, literature, public speaking, mathematics, political science, business branches, economics, engineering, technical branches, and other subjects.

2. The Department of Correspondence Instruction offers instruction by mail in the languages, in literature, mathematics, music, drawing, educa

tion, political science, engineering, geography, etc. at any time.

Courses may begin

3. The Department of Lectures provides lectures singly or in series for any committee, club, organization, or community in the state that will make the necessary arrangements for their delivery.

II. PUBLIC SERVICE

1. The Department of Municipal Reference is a clearing house for inquiries concerning municipal government and administration. It is allied with the League of California Municipalities.

2. The Department of General Information undertakes to answer inquiries of whatever nature, addressed to it, utilizing for this purpose the resources of the University.

3. The Department of Visual Instruction circulates stereopticon slides and motion picture reels. These cover many phases of educational work. They are sent in rotation through the schools of the state and are studied by public schools as part of the curriculum and by parents and citizens as a feature of community service.

Complete information with regard to University Extension, including methods of organizing classes and lecture centers, fees, and the granting of credit toward a university degree, will be sent on application. Address the Extension Division, University of California, Berkeley.

Credit for Extension courses cannot be applied toward schedules for higher degrees.

APPOINTMENT REGISTRY

In January, 1898, the Regents of the University established, in the President's Office, a Registry for teachers and others who desire the coöperation of the University in securing employment. The aim is to obtain complete information in regard to all University candidates for the teaching profession or for other callings. A Secretary is in charge of the lists of applicants, which include the names of many who have already won success in their professions, or in the business world. The Secretary secures evidence in regard to the scholarship, experience, and personal qualifications of each candidate, and on the basis of this information answers inquiries from appointing authorities.

The purpose is to secure such information as will enable the University to name the best available person for a given position. The practice of giving written recommendations to students, to be used at their own discretion, has been discontinued. Reports from instructors are filed in the President's Office. Copies of these reports will be mailed to school officers, or to professional or business men, at their request, or at the

request of the student concerned. But the President reserves the right of refusing to extend the coöperation of the University to students when they apply for positions for which they are manifestly unfit. Official recommendations for positions are made only on request of those in authority. Letters requesting such recommendations should state explicitly the subjects to be taught, or the work to be done, the salary paid per year, and the time when the engagement begins. Prompt answer will be made to such letters throughout the summer vacation as well as during the university year. The Secretary will consult any member of the faculty whose advice is especially desired. There are no fees for the services of this office.

Communications should be addressed to the Appointment Secretary, Univeristy of California, Berkeley.

SUMMER SESSION

The Summer Session of six weeks is designed for teachers and other persons who are unable to attend the University. during the fall and spring sessions. There are at present no formal entrance requirements, except that applicants must be persons of good moral character and must be considered by the faculty to be of sufficient maturity and intelligence to profit by attendance upon the exercises of the session. The courses of instruction are mainly of university grade, and credit toward university degrees may be given to attendants who comply with such conditions of work and examinations as may be imposed by the instructors in charge. The tuition fee is $20, regardless of the number of courses taken. An Announcement of the Summer Session is issued in April of each year and may be obtained by addressing the Dean of the Summer Session, Berkeley, California.

In addition to the usual session at the University in Berkeley a Southern Division of the Summer Session has been established and will be conducted at the Normal School building in Los Angeles.

INTERSESSION

The Intersession of six weeks between the end of the spring semester and the beginning of the Summer Session (in 1920, from May 10 to June 19) is conducted especially for graduate students who desire to pursue special research for an uninterrupted period of twelve weeks during the summer. A graduate student may thus complete 12 units toward a higher degree, and one semester of residence.

A list of courses offered during the Intersession will be found in the Announcement of the Summer Session.

INFIRMARY

In return for the Infirmary fee, each student is entitled to consultation and medical and hospital care at the Infirmary, on the campus. The daily average of dispensary consultations and treatments exceeds one hundred and fifty. Full hospital care is given in case of serious illness. There is no charge, beyond the Infirmary fee, for ordinary medical or hospital service; but if a surgical operation or a special nurse be required, the cost must be borne by the patient. A small hourly charge is made for dental service.

FELLOWSHIPS AND GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR 1920-21

Graduate scholarships and fellowships are awarded as a mark of honor, on the basis of scholarship-not of need, and the holders thereof are expected to devote all their time to graduate study and research in the University.

Applications for Scholarships and Fellowships.-Applications for all fellowships or scholarships in the Graduate Division, with letters and testimonials connected therewith, should be in the hands of the Dean of the Graduate Division, Berkeley, on, or before, the first day of March preceding the academic year for which the awards are to be made. Awards will be made in March, if possible, and notice thereof will be sent by mail to each applicant on April first. Acceptance of a graduate scholarship or fellowship must be made in writing by April fifteenth. It is expected that an accepted appointment will not be relinquished without reasons satisfactory to the President of the University. Payments are made at the office of the University Comptroller, in California Hall, in ten monthly installments, beginning September first, unless otherwise specified. Applications should be made through the Dean of the Graduate Division to the Graduate Council. A blank form of application may be obtained from the Dean of the Graduate Division.

Each award is for one year. The appointment may, however, be renewed at the discretion of the Academic Senate of the University.

The University Fellowships.-The Regents of the University have provided for eight fellowships of the annual value of $500 each. These fellowships may be awarded to students in any department of the academic colleges.

For 1919-20 these fellowships have been awarded as follows: one in palaeontology, one in anthropology, one in history, one in geology, one in soil chemistry, and two in research medicine.

The LeConte Memorial Fellowship Fund has been established by the Alumni Association of the University, in memory of Professors John and Joseph LeConte. Its annual income is $500, which may be devoted to the support of one or more fellowships, at the discretion of the Board of Administration of the Fund. Appointees must be graduates of the University of California of not more than three years' standing at the time of award; the sole test is superior excellence, as determined at its discretion by the Board, and recipients are to pursue their studies either at the University of California or elsewhere, as the Board may determine. Application forms may be obtained from the Dean of the Graduate Division

The John W. Mackay Junior Fellowships.-Under the terms of an endowment made by Clarence W. Mackay of New York City, jointly with his mother, Mrs. John W. Mackay, the University of California has established two John W. Mackay Junior Fellowships in Electrical Engineering, of an annual value of $600 each. These fellowships are open to all properly qualified university graduates. The object is not to facilitate ordinary engineering or scientific study, but to enable students who have completed a college course to do research work in electrical engineering, with a view to aiding the advance of the application of electricity to scientific and industrial purposes. The place of residence of those holding the fellowship is to be at the University of California. Experimental or other work, however, may be carried on outside the laboratories of the University. The appointment to each fellowship shall be for one year, which appointment may, however, be renewed at the discretion of the Academic Senate of the University.

The Professor F. V. Paget Scholarship was created by the will of the late Madame Emmanuel M. Paget in memory of her husband, formerly Professor of French in the University. The will directs that the income of the fund shall be given annually to some deserving student in the department of French of the University of California. The award will ordinarily be made to a graduate student. The value of this scholarship is $150.

The Lick Observatory Fellowships are maintained annually by the University. Annual value, $600 each. Appointees devote their attention to graduate study and assist in the work of the Lick Observatory. Holders of these fellowships are usually permitted to spend one semester each year at Berkeley. Applications should be addressed to the Director of the Lick Observatory, Mount Hamilton, California.
