Facilities. The department, by the generosity of Mr. Kiang, is provided with an excellent collection of Chinese works, chiefly in the fields of history, biography and philosophy. This collection, it is hoped, will be considerably enlarged in the coming year. There is a more limited collection of Japanese works, but a very valuable one for research in political conditions since 1853. This collection includes the life of the last Shogun in twenty-three volumes. The University Library has a large collection of works in European languages which deal with the Far East. Besides the equipment mentioned above the department has access to the Chinese library of Professor Williams and that of Professor Fryer, as well as to a large and valuable collection of Japanese works belonging to Mr. Kuno, very completely covering the history of Japan, its social institutions and its philosophy. Research. In the past the work of the department, in so far as the Graduate Division is concerned, has been very largely devoted to assisting the researches of those who, under the direction of other departments, have been investigating questions relating to the Far East, especially in the fields of political science and economics. In addition to this, however, a limited amount of research work has been conducted under the direct guidance of the department. The principal theses so prepared in recent years are the following: history and diplomacy leading to the annexation of Korea by Japan; the political and intellectual relations of China, Japan, and Korea; Christianity and foreign commerce in Japan from 1549 to 1640; the world conception of the Chinese: their cosmological, astronomical and physico-philosophical speculations. Higher Degrees.-Candidates for higher degrees are required to present as a preliminary condition not less than 12 units from the department's lower division courses and an equal number from those of the upper division. The attention of those who are seeking a high school teacher's recommendation is called to the courses offered in Far Eastern History and in the Social, Economic and Political Conditions of China and Japan. The department believes that the high school teachers on the Pacific Coast ought not to be unacquainted with the history of eastern Asia or with present conditions there. Master's Degree.-Candidates for the master's degree must have taken the lecture courses of the department and in addition must have a reading knowledge of either French or German. Degree of Doctor of Philosophy.-In addition to the requirements already mentioned, the candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy will be expected to possess a good working knowledge of either the Chinese or the Japanese language and present an acceptable thesis based upon original research in Chinese or Japanese. Oriental students must have a working knowledge of two languages other than their own. GRADUATE COURSES 201A-201в.

MERRIAM, B. L. CLARK, Facilities.-The field for palaeontologic study and research on the Pacific Coast, and especially in the territory immediately accessible from the University, is a most unusual one, as a considerable part of the geologic column is available for study in the region easily reached from the University. Within a radius of twenty-five miles from Berkeley, Coast Range formations ranging from early Cretaceous to Pleistocene are represented by splendid exposures containing abundant fossil remains. This section is the basis for work leading to advanced study and research. The research work in palaeontology has been based largely on a study of materials immediately at hand. Our knowledge of West Coast palaeontology is in the making, and advanced students are expected to assist in working out the solution of problems before us. Properly qualified students may take up special lines of investigation under the guidance of the instructor. Students beginning advanced study may work with the instructor or with other students engaged in research. Research. The collections available for study and comparison in research include a representative series of the invertebrate faunas of California, together with a large quantity of invertebrate material from horizons the position of which is not as yet clearly determined. The vertebrate collection includes the original material obtained by the University in the progress of work in the John Day region of Oregon, the Virgin Valley and Thousand Creek regions of Nevada, the Mohave and Coalinga regions of California, Potter Creek Cave, Samwel Cave, Hawver Cave, Rancho La Brea, and the Triassic limestones of northern California and western Nevada. Research on all these lines of investigations is still in progress. Publications. The research work accomplished by the department is represented largely in the Publications of the University of California. More than one hundred papers ranging from descriptive studies of vertebrate and invertebrate forms to description and interpretation of faunas, and including extensive work on the antiquity of man in California, are to be found in the lists of the University of California Publications. Higher Degrees. It is the desire of the department that candidates for higher degrees include as a portion of their schedule the carrying to completion of one or more pieces of research work embodying the results of independent thinking on the part of the student; the rounding |
