Applications for scholarships to be awarded in accordance with the provisions of this fund should be addressed to the Trustees, care of Albert Bonnheim, Secretary, Sacramento, California.

FELLOWSHIPS AND SCHOLARSHIPS.

FOR GRADUATES.

NOTE. 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 their work in the University. Candidacy for fellowships is, in general, restricted to such otherwise suitable persons as have spent at least one year in graduate study, and are intending to proceed to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy or its equivalent. Members of the graduating class may be candidates for scholarships.

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 $600, which may be devoted to the support of one of 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 Recorder of the Faculties. For the year 1905-06 two awards of $500 each will be made.

Three Fellowships at the Lick Observatory have been maintained by the University during 1904-05. The appointees devote their attention to graduate study and assist in the work of the Observatory.

The Whiting Fellowships. A bequest of twenty thousand dollars was made in 1895, by the will of Harold Whiting, formerly Associate professor of Physics in the University. The net income from this sum is expended under the joint direction of the President and the Professor of Physics of the University. In the years 1898 to 1902 a traveling fellowship (value $600) was maintained from that income. Since 1902 two traveling fellowships, of the value of $600 each, have been awarded. In cases of distinct merit, similar awards may be made from time to time, as an encouragement to advanced study and research in Physics.

A fellowship

The Emanu-El Fellowship in Semitic Languages. in Semitic Languages is maintained in the University of California by the Congregation Emanu-El of San Francisco. The Fellowship yields $500 annually. Applicants for this fellowship must be able to enter the graduate department of the University as qualified candidates for the master's or the doctor's degree, and must be able to devote full time to the studies undertaken.

COLLEGES OF GENERAL CULTURE.

FACULTIES.

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.

The requirements for admission are given on page 51.

College of Letters. The Curriculum is essentially the so-called Classical Course of the leading American colleges, and leads to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The prescribed study of Greek and Latin forms its distinguishing feature. It is designed to furnish a liberal education, and to afford preparation for professional studies.

College of Social Sciences. The curriculum follows the more modern lines of a liberal culture, including language, literature, history and political science, and diverges from that of the College of Letters mainly in that it omits Greek and does not insist upon Latin, except in the requirement for matriculation. It affords opportunity for literary, linguistic, historical, and economic studies, as well as preparation for the professional schools. It leads to the degree of Bachelor of Letters.

College of Natural Sciences. The curriculum embraces the broad field of general science, together with the languages and arts necessary to the student and investigator. The special feature in the curriculum of this college is the prominence given to the Natural Sciences as elements of culture, and the preparation afforded for a professional career in science. It leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science.

For details regarding the studies pursued in these colleges consult the description of the several courses of instruction in this REGISTER and in the ANNUAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

In each of these colleges a part of the curriculum is prescribed with a view to the information, discipline, and culture requisite for

the pursuit of advanced studies. The Prescribed Courses fall, with certain exceptions, within the first two years of the curriculum. Another part of the curriculum consists of an Elective Group of advanced courses, in the direction of the study and research which the student desires especially to pursue. The election of this special subject, or group, must be made by the student after he has completed the courses prescribed in his college, and before he has begun his fourth, or Senior, year. The remainder of the curriculum consists of Free Electives chosen from any of the courses offered at Berkeley and pursued at any time during the undergraduate period, subject, however, to any sequence of studies required by the departments concerned.

This organization of the curriculum secures a division into general or fundamental courses on the one hand, and special or advanced courses on the other. With his entrance upon the Elective Group the student is introduced to aims and methods of study which obtain not only for higher undergraduate courses, but for graduate work. This organization secures, also, the regulation of the purely elective element by the restriction of a portion of it to a group chosen in a special department of scholarship. It is believed that this adjustment of courses is preferable both to the system of rigid prescription and to that of unrestricted freedom of election, since it provides not only for liberal culture, but also for concentrated and systematic study in the direction of the student's preference, and for training in methods of original investigation.

1. SCHEME OF UNDERGRADUATE WORK.

Operative in the Colleges of Letters, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences, for students graduating not later than December, 1906. The requirements for graduation in each of these three colleges consist of 125 units,* distributed as follows:
