Half-year Courses are courses given during a single college half

year.

Year Courses are courses given during the college year.

II.

Conditions. Any one of the courses offered in this announcement will be organized in any community in California, provided:

(1) That not less than twenty-five persons enroll themselves as members in the course;

(2) That the course has not previously been bespoken at other centers for the same term.*

III.

Membership. Any one interested in the subject of a course and willing to do the reading connected therewith is eligible to membership in that course.

The members are of two classes: corporate members and readers. Corporate members will be required to satisfy the conductor of the course they propose to take, by means of written testimonials, or examinations, or both, that they are properly qualified to pursue the work in that course. They will be required to take an examination at the end of the course; upon passing they shall be entitled to receive a certificate of record† therefor.

All other members shall be classed as readers.

IV.

Nature of the Work.-The instructor in charge of a course will visit the community where it is given three times for a halfyear course, and six times for a year course, remaining upon each visit a day, or longer if the number of students makes a longer stay necessary. Upon the first visit he will call the class together, and in an introductory lecture explain the nature of the course. He will then meet the members of the class individually, for consultation with regard to the reading and work especially adapted to their needs.

Upon his intermediate visit (or visits) he will meet the members of the class individually for consultation, in the forenoon and afternoon. In the evening, he will meet the class collectively, lecture to them, and discuss with them the problems incidental to their work.

*Note.-Under ordinary circumstances it will be impossible for an instructor to conduct more than two Extension classes during the same half-year. Those first applying for a given course will first be provided for.

NOTE. At the discretion of the Faculty, credit toward the University degrees will be given upon a certificate of record, if the holder is, or at any time becomes, a student in regular attendance at one of the academic colleges of the University at Berkeley.

Upon his final visit he will again meet the class for consultation; will lecture to them, and in addition will conduct the examination of corporate members.

To each member will be furnished at a nominal price printed syllabi and bibliographies containing the information necessary to guide him in his work.

Written reports and theses may be called for from time to time from the corporate members.

Fees. Each member will be charged a fee of five dollars for each half-year course in which he is enrolled, and a fee of ten dollars for each year course.

The courses offered for 1901 include Philosophy, Education, Jurisprudence, History, Political Science, Oriental Studies, Greek, Classical Archaeology, Latin, English, French, German, Mathematics, Astronomy, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Agriculture, Horticulture, and Entomology.

APPOINTMENT REGISTRY.

In January, 1898, the Regents of the University established, in the President's Office, a Registry for teachers and others who desire the coöperation of the University in securing employment. The aim is to obtain complete information in regard to all University candidates for the teaching profession, or for other callings. A secretary is in charge of the lists of applicants, which include the names of many who have already won success in their professions, or in the business world. The Secretary secures evidence in regard to the scholarship, experience, and personal qualifications of each candidate, and on the basis of this information the President answers inquiries from appointing authorities.

The purpose is to secure such information as will enable the President to select the best available person for a given position. The practice of giving written recommendations to students, to be used at their own discretion, has been discontinued. Reports from instructors are filed in the President's Office. Copies of these reports will be mailed to school officers, or to professional or business men, at their request, or at the request of the student concerned. But the President reserves the right of refusing to extend the coöperation of the University to students when they apply for positions for which they are manifestly unfit. Official nominations for positions are made only on request of those in authority. Letters requesting such nominations should state explicitly the subjects to be taught, or the work to be done, the salary paid per year, and the time when the engagement begins. Prompt answer will be made to such letters throughout the summer vacation as well as during the University year. The Secretary will consult any member of the Faculty whose advice is especially desired. There are no fees for the services of this office.

Communications should be addressed to the Appointment Secretary, University of California, Berkeley.

LIBRARY, MUSEUMS, AND LABORATORIES.

LIBRARY.

The General Library, kept in the Bacon Art and Library Building, now contains over eighty-five thousand volumes, and has been arranged with a view to making it especially valuable as a reference library. It receives a large number of periodical publications, literary, scientific, and general; and is furnished with author and subject catalogues and full indexes. It is constantly augmented by donation and exchange, and by purchases of books with the income from the Michael Reese, James K. Moffitt, Jane K. Sather, E. A. Denicke, and other funds.

The Library and Reading-Room of the Department of Agriculture receives the publications of the Experiment Stations of the United States and other countries, as well as pamphlets on agricultural subjects published by various Governments and Commissions. Through the courtesy of editors and publishers, a large number of dailies, weeklies, and monthlies, numbering about one hundred and forty, are regularly received and placed on file for the use of students. The list is published annually in the report of the Experiment Station.

ART COLLECTIONS.

Fine Arts. The Gallery of Fine Arts, in the Bacon Art and Library Building, contains three pieces of sculpture and seventy-five paintings, illustrative of the various periods and schools of art. All of these have been received as gifts from Henry D. Bacon, Mrs. Mark Hopkins, F. L. A. Pioche, Charles Mayne, R. D. Yelland, and others. They form a very interesting collection, which it is hoped will become, by the generosity of other citizens of the commonwealth, still more representative.

In the Library rooms below are numerous portraits, etchings, and bronzes, and to the student the library offers the use of a large number of books on aesthetics and the history of fine arts, as well as such collections of reproductions as the Louvre Gallery, Blanc's Peintres, Galèrie des Peintres, Mantz, Krell, etc.

The fourteen hundred photographs of ancient and modern masterpieces of sculpture presented by John S. Hittell, may be freely used in connection with the study of plastic art.
