SUMMER SESSION. The Summer Session of six weeks is designed mainly for teachers and other persons who are unable to attend the University during the regular 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 the 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 twelve dollars, regardless of the number of courses taken. An Announcement of the Summer Session is issued in March of each year and may be obtained by addressing the Recorder of the Faculties, Berkeley, California. The Summer Session of 1905 began June 26 and ended August 5. UNIVERSITY EXTENSION. The Department of University Extension was organized during the year 1902-03 to carry on, as the work of a separate department of the University, extension courses in different parts of the State of California. Courses of University Extension lectures, with classes for study in connection with the lectures, are given wherever University Extension Centers may be organized, and the control and selection of these courses is left entirely to the committees of the various local centers. Each course consists of twelve lectures delivered at fortnightly intervals on days and in places chosen by the local committees, and University credit is given for work done in the University Extension classes after regular examinations. University Extension Traveling Libraries, containing several copies of the books needed for study in connection with the lectures and classes are sent to the local centers, and for courses in which they are needed, lantern slides and other illustrative material are also supplied. It is the function of the Department of University Extension at the University to aid in the formation of centers and to supply lecturers, not necessarily members of the instructing staff at the University, to meet the requirements of these local centers. Particulars with regard to the cost of University Extension courses, the manner of organizing local centers, a list of centers, the aims and scope of extension work, and the credit toward a University degree to be obtained by doing the work laid out for Extension classes, can be found in the circular on University extension, which will be sent on application to the Secretary for University Extension, University of California, Berkeley. Syllabuses of the courses at present offered by the department can also be obtained upon application. During the year 1905-06 nineteen University Extension centers were successfully maintained, and in these nineteen centers twentytwo different courses of lectures were delivered. Three of these courses, on The History of the French Revolution," at Bakersfield, Fresno, and Red Bluff; two courses on "The Napoleonic Period in Europe,' at Chico and Marysville; two courses on "History and Historians, ," at Los Gatos and Oakland; and two courses on "The Enlightened Despotism of the Eighteenth Century in Europe," at Alameda and San Francisco, were given by H. Morse Stephens, Professor of History at the University and Director of University Extension; six courses on "The Renaissance in Italy," at Long Beach, Ontario, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Ventura, were given by Garrick M. Borden, staff lecturer; two courses on "The History of Trade Unionism," at Sacramento and San Francisco; and one course on "South Africa," at Sacramento, were given by Carleton H. Parker, Secretary of University Extension; two courses on "The Rise and Fall of Spanish Power in Europe and America," at Napa and San Luis Obispo, were given by Don E. Smith; one course on "The Victorian Poets," at Oakland, was given by Frederick J. Teggart; and one course on "American Financial Policy in its Historical Relations, by A. C. Miller, Flood Professor of Political Economy and Commerce in the University. In connection with nearly all these courses a class was formed. Two centers, at Modesto and Pasadena, were temporarily suspended.
