The Barbara Weinstock Lectureship on the Morals of Trade was created by Mr. Harris Weinstock of Sacramento on May 14, 1902, with an endowment of $5,000. The purpose of the lectureship was stated by the founder to be the education of young men "to the belief that success in business is more probable and more lasting if conducted upon a high ethical plane, and that true success lies in developing character, rather than in heaping up gold." The Lecture does not form a part of the regular courses of instruction. Circular of Information.-A circular containing more detailed information concerning the College of Commerce than is given in this REGISTER may be obtained on application to the Recorder of the Faculties. COLLEGES OF APPLIED SCIENCE. Colleges of Mechanics, Mining, Civil Engineering, and Chemistry. The special features of the curricula are as follows: (1) A minimum four-year course of fifteen units a week, exclusive of Physical Culture and Military Science, has been provided. Including the time given to preparation of studies, this course requires of the student an average of forty-five hours a week. In this minimum course only such studies are included as are essential to professional training. (2) Few studies are pursued at the same time, and they are as nearly as possible interdependent. (3) The relation of practical application to theory is emphasized. Instruction is from the beginning illustrated by exercises in the laboratory, the draughting-room, and the field. (4) An effort is made to utilize the vacations of students for further application of their knowledge in the direction of future professional pursuits. For this purpose summer classes in Surveying, Practical Mining, Mechanical Practice, and Astronomy have been organized. (5) In addition to the minimum of fifteen units* a week, students without deficiencies are allowed to elect four units a week from any of the courses given in the University for which they have the necessary preparation. In general, students are advised to choose these additional units of study from courses in Modern Languages and Literatures, History and Economies. But they may, if they so desire, pursue special lines of technical study in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Mineralogy, Petrography, Mechanics, Surveying, Electricity, Mining, and Metallurgy, in addition to the minimum requirements prescribed in the respective colleges. The seequence of studies in the Colleges of Engineering is such that students who enter in January, instead of in August, will, as a rule, require four and a half years to complete the full course. College of Agriculture. In the college there are two curricula, -the one organized upon a basis similar to that of the Colleges of General Culture, the other determined with a view to the technical training of the student. *The unit of credit is one hour of lecture or reecitation a week for one half-year; hours in the laboratory or field not requiring preparation are estimated at a lower rate than recitations and lectures. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE. FACULTY. The Faculty of each College consists of the President of the University and those Professors and Instructors, and only those, whose departments are represented in it by required or elective studies. UNDERGRADUATE COURSES. The courses in Agriculture are designed for (1) students who desire a general culture with their principal work in this department, or (2) those who desire primarily to become acquainted with the theory of Agriculture and the technique of agricultural practice and investigation. For the former the general course is provided, and for the latter a series of technical courses. GENERAL COURSE. The requirements for matriculation are given on page 53. Students taking their degrees according to the revised curric ulum not later than December, 1908, are, however, to have all the privileges of regular standing on the basis of the old matriculation requirements (see page 53 of the REGISTER for 1903-04), provided that before graduation they make up the additional subjects demanded by the new matriculation requirements. This can be done in following the regular curriculum, provided that the electives be judiciously chosen. REVISED CURRICULUM OF THE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE The requirements for graduation with the degree of B.S. correspond with the reorganized scheme for the colleges of general culture. LOWER DIVISION. Prescribed studies. English Foreign Language *Mathematics Natural Science History, Economics, Political Science. Military Science Physical Culture Elective studies Elective studies, to be taken in either division.. UPPER DIVISION. Advanced studies in Agriculture. Advanced studies in Natural Science or Agriculture Advanced studies in any department Units. 6 12 6 6 6 5 4 19 64 24 15 9 12 36 Total for graduation 124 Two years must be devoted to the work of the Upper Division. Admission to the Upper Division will not be permitted until all matriculation requirements and all the work of the Lower Division shall have been completed. Not more than sixteen units per halfyear may be taken in the Upper Division. TECHNICAL COURSES. Full Technical Course. This leads to the degree of B.S. in Agriculture. The requirements for matriculation are the same as for the General Course (see above). The requirements for graduation consist in the presentation of a thesis involving original investigation in some department of agricultural science, and the completion of 129 units, as follows: *Those intending to elect chemical or physical courses in the Upper Division must take Mathematics 3A, or 2, 4 and 5 as prerequisites, and must elect Chemistry 5 in the Sophomore year. The subjects in Agriculture in which a sufficient number of courses are now offered to constitute a major subject are Agricultural Chemistry, Plant Production, Agricultural Technology, Entomology, and Animal Industry. The student should consult the instructor with whom he intends to take his major work in arranging this schedule of courses, so that the subjects may be taken in proper sequence and ample provision made for his thesis work. Special Courses: Students in Agriculture not desiring to take the full course may be admitted as special students. They may pursue any line of study in the agricultural department for which they are prepared. For admission to the special courses applicants must, in general, be 21 years of age, and must have had practical farm experience. For a comprehensive course they may profitably pursue the following schedule for the first year: 1st Half- 2d Half 18 181 If the student finds himself able to carry more than this he may take some of the short course work the latter part of the first half |
