out of this study in such form that it becomes easily available to other investigators is also considered an important part of the work of the candidate. Master's Degree.-Candidates for the master's degree are expected to devote at least one-half of their time to strictly graduate work during the year of study required for the degree. The thesis for the degree is not presumed to cover a subject of wide scope, but should represent the principles of work in independent investigation. Doctor of Philosophy.-Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy will in most cases have as minors subjects within the field of geology, biology, anthropology, or some combination of these subjects. In addition to a thorough grounding in the principles involved in the major and minor subjects, before beginning graduate work candidates are expected to familiarize themselves with standard works in the literature of the subject. Research work for the doctor's degree ordinarily covers more than one subject. The common procedure is that the candidate completes first a small piece of research, possibly of a purely descriptive type, and later presents for his doctor's thesis a subject covering a larger field and requiring philosophic interpretation. Graduate Courses.-The graduate work of the department is in all included in two courses designated as Palaeontology 206 and 207. All research work not included in the seminars is accredited under the head of course 207, the units of credit varying according to the amount of time required, and the special subjects varying with different individuals. The seminar is conducted in two sections, Palaeontology 206A including a presentation of research papers in invertebrate palaeontology and the discussion of fundamental topics in this field; 206в, the vertebrate seminar, consists in part of presentation and discussion of research work in vertebrate palaeontology in the department, and comprises the study of special topics as in 206A.

Facilities.-Upper division courses required in the regular medical curriculum are open to other qualified students who fulfill the necessary preliminary training, which will enable them to profit by these courses. Such training need not of necessity require the completion of the first year in medicine. For example, work in advanced physiology and biochemistry are sufficient to admit to the courses in bacteriology, but would not be adequate as preparation for the work in histopathology and morbid anatomy. Upper division courses are also given in some aspects of bacteriology not immediately connected with the medical curriculum. Opportunities for research are given through graduate courses as outlined in the list that follows. Suitable apparatus and material are at hand for the ordinary investigations implied in following these graduate courses. An excellent departmental library covering the fields of bacteriology and pathology is deposited in the building of the laboratory in Berkeley. At present the work in bacteriology, as required of medical students, is given in the first semester of the year, and in Berkeley. The work in histopathology and morbid anatomy is given in the laboratory of the department in connection with the University Hospital in San Francisco during the second semester of the year. The graduate courses are open to students throughout the year. Research. Through the generosity of friends of the late Dr. Edith J. Claypole, a research fellowship in pathology has been established with an annual income of $1200. Preference is given to women students who have evidenced their capacity for research in filling this fellowship. Another research assistantship is provided for the department by the University through the Medical School funds. Additional gifts for assistance and materials have been available either from the University or from outside sources each year. The chief problems under investigation in the department during the current year are the following: experimental streptococcus empyema in rabbits, with attempts at specific therapy; a study of the toxic products of the hemolytic streptococcus; the effects of variation in hydrogen-ion concentration and chemical constitution on culture media; chemotherapy * Absent on leave, 1919-20. of the experimental typhoid carrier condition in animals; a classification of pathogenic stapylococci; a classification of anaerobic bacteria with methods for their isolation and study. Publications. During the past year publications from the department have been made on the following subjects: methods of purifying cultures of obligative anaerobes; use of gentian violet in eliminating spurious presumptive tests of B. coli; action of ultraviolet light on bacteria in relation to absorption by amino acids; classification of streptococci; recent aspects of streptococcus infection; dissemination and destruction of typhoid bacilli in normal and immune rabbits; mechanism of bodily resistance to disease; serum reactions in influenza. Higher Degrees.-After suitable regard for the prerequisites, the courses in the department may be taken as fulfilling the major or minor requirements toward the degree of Master of Arts or Doctor of Philosophy. These requirements follow closely the general regulations as announced at the beginning of this publication. The subject matter of the work and thesis required for these degrees will ordinarily vary with the preparation of the student during the preceding two years and suggestions for work will be given by the department, although it is not desired to prescribe any set curriculum.

ADAMS, W. BROWN, C. I. LEWIS, J. LOEWENBERG. Instructors: OLGA L. BRIDGMAN, E. C. TOLMAN. Facilities. Instruction in all courses in philosophy, other than psychology, is given in Wheeler Hall and in the Library. The University Library is well equipped for carrying on investigations in all branches of philosophical studies. In addition to the general university collection, the Howison library, which is housed in one of the philosophy seminar rooms, forms the nucleus of a departmental library. The psychological laboratory has a building for its special use. Besides a full equipment for class instruction and for demonstrations in connection with lectures, the laboratory is provided with all the printed forms and other materials which are in general use in conducting mental tests, and with a large number of special instruments for experiments in the principal lines of psychological investigation. There is also an ample collection of such auxiliary instruments as are most frequently required in setting up special apparatus for research, and there is a shop equipped for carpenter work. In addition to the main laboratory room, there are several quiet rooms suitable for research purposes, and a large dark-and-silent room. All the rooms are connected by switchboard with high and low potential electric current and are served with alternating lighting current and with gas. Publications. The department maintains two series of publications, in philosophy and psychology respectively, embodying the results of research. Reports of other studies by members of the department and by students can be found in the technical journals of philosophy and psychology. Preliminary Requirements. For full graduate standing in the department it is expected that students whose major work is to be in logic, ethics, the history of philosophy, aesthetics, or the theory of knowledge and metaphysics shall have taken the following courses or their equivalents: at least 12 units, chosen from lower division courses 1A-1B, 2a, 3A-3B, 4A-4B, and a minimum of 18 units of major courses, taken in the upper division. It is important that all students whose major work is to be in philosophy, exclusive of psychology, shall possess a knowledge of the entire history of philosophy, and shall have a first hand acquaint ance with the philosophical classics. Graduate students whose major work is to be in psychology are expected to have completed a course in general psychology and, as a rule, one or more courses in advanced psychology. Eighteen units of major work in the department are generally required for admission to full graduate standing, but after consultation with the officers in charge specially trained persons whose preparation has been in some allied field may be admitted. Master's Degree.-Graduate students who are candidates for the master's degree with philosophy as their major subject will ordinarily pursue their work for the degree and write a thesis in connection with one or more graduate courses in which the student is enrolled. It is expected that the thesis for the master's degree will embody the results of study and investigation of a technical nature, by the student, of some particular topic in the general field of philosophy or psychology. Such discussions may be mainly theoretical or may be based on experimental investigation and research in the psychological laboratory, the schools, clinics, or elsewhere. Doctor of Philosophy.—Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the department of philosophy may pursue their work in the fields of logic, ethics, aesthetics, history of philosophy, social philosophy, theory of knowledge and metaphysics, and theoretical, experimental, or applied psychology. Candidates in any of these special topics will be expected to pass a preliminary examination covering the general field of philosophy or psychology. The preliminary examination must be passed at least one year before the candidate shall take his degree, and shall consist of separate written examinations in logic, general psychology, ethics, and the history of philosophy, and some one period or thinker in which the student has made a more intensive study, except that in the case of certain candidates in psychology an examination in an allied field may be substituted for one or more of the above subjects.
