amount and character of said year's work to be determined after consultation with the professional faculties.

As a matter of courtesy between different faculties of the University, there is no objection to the acceptance of work done in a professional college as a substitute for work done in an academic college, provided such substitution be made in accordance with the regulations and with the consent of the department concerned at Berkeley certifying that the work is of equal value. But such work can not be counted twice (except by special legislation), once for a professional degree in a professional college and again also for an academic degree.

All the graduates of any one calendar year-January 1 to December 31-shall be ranked as belonging to the so-called class of that year.

THE GRADUATE SCHOOL

COLLEGES OF LETTERS, SCIENCES AND ENGINEERING

GRADUATE COURSES

Advanced instruction, leading to the degrees of Master of Arts (with the corresponding degrees in Letters, Sciences, and Engineering, Doctor of Philosophy, Juris Doctor, Mechanical Engineer, Civil Engineer, Mining Engineer, etc., is offered by the University of California to graduates of any recognized college or university. If the preliminary training of such students has not been sufficient to qualify them for strictly graduate work, they will be admitted to such undergraduate courses, in the department in which they expect to study, as may be suited to their needs.

The University Library contains about 265,000 volumes, not including the material contained in the Bancroft Collection. The Library is admirably adapted, so far as its extent allows, for purposes of advanced study and research.

The laboratories are extensive and well-equipped, and every facility is afforded for work in the higher lines of pure and applied science.

TEACHERS' COURSES

Professional training for students who desire to teach is offered by the University through the department of education and other departments that offer special teachers' courses. The requirements for the recommendation for the Teacher's Certificate are given hereunder.

REGULATIONS OF THE FACULTIES CONCERNING

GRADUATE STUDENTS

I.

ADMISSION TO GRADUATE STANDING

Persons holding the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Letters, Philosophy, or Science, from a reputable institution authorized by law to confer these degrees, or holding any other degree or certificate which the Academic Council may accept as equivalent, may be admitted as graduate students in the University of California, upon presenting official credentials.

Graduates of the following institutions, constituting the Association of American Universities, may be admitted as qualified candidates for a higher degree: University of California, Catholic University of America, University of Chicago, Clark University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Harvard University, University of Illinois, Indiana University, State University of iowa, Johns Hopkins University, University of Kansas, Leland Stanford Junior University, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, University of Missouri, University of Nebraska, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, University of Virginia, University of Wisconsin, Yale University.

The grade of work to which graduate students are assigned and their standing as candidates for degrees will depend upon the extent and character of their undergraduate course. If in any department the preliminary training of applicants has not been sufficient to qualify them for strictly graduate work, they may be admitted to such undergraduate courses as may be suited to their needs.

The status of all graduate students will lapse at the close of each academic year, unless they have been admitted to candidacy for degrees; but on application it may be renewed at the discretion of the Academic Council.

CANDIDACY AND RESIDENCE

Graduate students may be resident graduates not candidates for a degree; or they may become candidates for either a bachelor's, master's or doctor's degree, or for a professional degree in engineering. All graduate students will be considered as resident graduates not candidates for a degree, unless admitted to candidacy by the Academic Council after formal application.

Registration for study in absence is permissable only to accepted candidates for masters', doctors', and engineers' degrees. Candidates who are graduates of this University may be registered as non-resident students at any time, subject to other regulations. Candidates who are not graduates of this University must spend at least one year in residence before they will be permitted to register as students in absence.

Residence at the Herzstein Research Laboratory at New Monterey, or at the Southern California Pathological Laboratory at Whittier, or at the University Farm at Davis is residence at the University for such students as have been appointed to work at any one or all of these places. Residence wherever a student may be directed by the Faculty to prosecute regular scientific investigation is regarded as residence at the University.

No graduate student will be recommended for any of the degrees named above except upon the completion of at least one year of residence* at this University, devoted to such a course of study as the Academic Council regards as a proper year's work; upon passing successfully an examination; and upon complying with such other regulations as are stated below. At least one-half year must elapse between formal advancement to candidacy for a degree and the conferring of the degree. Two summer sessions may be rated as the equivalent of one half-year for purposes of residence; and registration in summer sessions, with satisfactory completion of the work undertaken therein by a student may be accepted as satisfying to that extent the residence qualification for a higher degree.

Candidates for degrees may, at the discretion of the Academic Council, be given credit for work taken at other universities; but such allowance of credit will not reduce the minimum period of residence, normally one year, required in the University of California.

Every graduate student not a candidate for a degree must be in actual attendance on at least one regularly authorized course of instruction. Every candidate for a bachelor's or master's degree while in residence must be in actual attendance on at least one regularly authorized course of instruction; and this attendance must amount to at least four hours a week; otherwise such students will be considered to have withdrawn from candidacy. The number of hours necessary to make up a year of study is stated below.

The minimum requirement is one year's work for the master's degree, two years' study for the degree of Juris Doctor, and two years' study for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy; but this is understood to apply to students only whose undergraduate course has been substantially equivalent to the corresponding course in the University of California; otherwise a longer period of study will usually be necessary. This may include, to the extent considered desirable by the Academic Council, when the student's preliminary training falls materially short of this standard, subjects which had as their purpose the general culture of the candidate, in addition to such courses of instruction or research as may be elected for the prosecution of the special and advanced studies leading directly to the degree.

The above statement of the minimum time requirements for the master's and the doctor's degree is understood to apply to students who can give substantially their whole time to study. For those who pursue their graduate studies while engaged in other occupations, a proportionately longer time will be necessary.

* But see provision for the degree of Engineer without graduate residence, page 130.

No candidate will be credited with a year of work in residence until the full period of an academic year has been devoted to the studies approved by the Academic Council as constituting a year's work for the degree sought; and, in case of candidacy for a Bachelor's or Master's degree, the standard by which a year's work is estimated is that represented by, or equivalent to, a course of nine hours per week during one year (eighteen units), confined to the special advanced studies leading to the degree. The requirement of a thesis for any advanced degree is not included in the eighteen units. The satisfaction of the time requirement supplies only partial evidence of proper quality in the candidate's performance. Greater weight will be attached to actual attainments than to years of residence.

Every graduate student who is a candidate for a higher degree must file with the Recorder, at least three calendar months before the time proposed for examination, a detailed schedule of studies on which the candidacy is based. This schedule must bear the approval of the subcommittee in charge of the candidate's work.

The minimum period of candidacy for a degree shall be one half-year.

III.

CONDITIONS FOR A BACHELOR'S DEGREE FOR A GRADUATE STUDENT Graduate students may be recommended as candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Letters, or Bachelor of Science on completing at least twenty-four units during one or more years of attendance upon such courses of instruction as are regularly pursued by seniors in the University of California, and on performing such additional work and passing such examinations as may appear necessary to the Academic Council. In all cases candidates must satisfy the graduation requirements of thirty-six units of advanced studies in the colleges of general culture, or their equivalent in the Colleges of Applied Science; not all of which, however, need have been done while in residence at this University. No person will be recommended for a bachelor's degree who shall not have satisfied substantially, at the time of procedure to the degree, the conditions imposed upon undergraduate students at the University of California.

IV.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MASTER'S DEGREE.-M.A., M.L., OR M.S.* Preliminary Preparation. The preliminary training of the candidate for any of the above masters' degrees should be substantially the equivalent of that represented by the corresponding bachelor's degree of the University of California. A bachelor's degree in the University of
