be administered by the Regents of the University of California. It was the desire of the donor that the income from this fund should be used for the maintenance of some student in law. For 1912-13 the income of the endowment was $200. University Fellowships in Pacific Coast History. The Order of the Native Sons of the Golden West has provided a fund for the maintenance of one or more fellowships in Pacific Coast History. Candidates must be graduates of a university and must have done at least one year of graduate work upon Pacific Coast History. They must present some written work showing knowledge and capacity for research upon some subject in the history of the Pacific Coast. The names of the candidates for the fellowships, with their qualifications and evidence of their training for historical research in the form of written work shall be submitted by the department of history of the University of California on or about the first of May in each year, to a committee chosen by the Grand Parlor of the Native Sons of the Golden West at its annual session, and the name of the candidates selected by the committee shall be submitted to the President of the University to be announced by him on Commencement Day. The holders of the fellowships may be candidates for re-election upon submitting proof of their fitness, either by thoroughness of the work done during the year of his term, or by promise for the completion of larger investigations. For the year 1913-14, two resident fellowships and one traveling fellowship have been awarded. Research Fellowship for Study of Problems of Urban Growth.—Mr. F. M. Smith, of Oakland, California, has established a research fellowship for investigation of certain problems incident to the growth of cities in the San Francisco Bay region. Attention is directed especially to questions relating to the development of parks, playgrounds, and other community interests demanding particular consideration of space available for growth. The stipend of the fellowship is $1000 per annum, and an additional sum of $500 annually is provided for expenses of the investigation. The work of the fellow is conducted under the supervision of a special committee named for this purpose. The Martin Kellogg Fellowship in Astronomy has been endowed by Mrs. Louise W. B. Kellogg in memory of her husband, Martin Kellogg. The stipend is variable in amount and would aim to cover necessary expenses of travel and residence. For further information apply to the Lick Astronomical Department. Applications for Scholarships and Fellowships.-Applications for all fellowships or scholarships in the graduate school, with letters and testimonials connected therewith, should be in the hands of the Recorder of the Faculties at Berkeley on or before the first day of March preceding the academic year for which the awards are to be made. Awards will be announced during April, if possible, and notice thereof will be sent by mail to each applicant. Payments are made at the office of the Comptroller of the University, in California Hall, in ten monthly installments, beginning September 1st. A blank form of application may be obtained from the Recorder of the Faculties. SPECIAL LECTURESHIPS 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 $5000. 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 profitable 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. The Charles M. Hitchcock Endowment Fund of $10,000 was established by Mr. Hitchcock as an endowment for "a professorship in the University of California for free lectures upon scientific and practical subjects, but not for the advantage of any religious sect, nor upon political subjects.'' 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, were given wherever university extension centers were organized, and the control and selection of such courses were left entirely to the committees of the various local centers. Each course consisted of twelve lectures delivered at fortnightly intervals on days and in places chosen by the local committees, and university credit was given for regular examinations for work done in the university extension classes. University extension traveling libraries, containing several copies of the books needed for study in connection with the lectures and classes were sent to the local centers, and for courses in which they were needed lantern slides and other illustrative material were supplied. Under this plan several university extension centers were organized and successfully maintained. In 1913 the Department of University Extension was reorganized under the name of the University Extension Division, which includes a department of instruction and a department of public servise. In the department of instruction university extension lectures are delivered upon the same plan as that previously followed, with the exception that lecture courses may consist of either six or twelve lectures. In addition to the class work conducted in connection with lectures, evening and Saturday classes are also formed for regular class instruction. Special attention is devoted to correspondence instruction. This form of instruction is designed especially for isolated students, such for instance, as may be preparing for college and professional schools, matriculated students who may wish to do work in absentia, business and professional men and women, and particularly those engaged in industrial occupations who desire to increase their efficiency without giving up their positions and expending the time and money necessary to attend the University. For work by correspondence, as well as for that done in university extension classes, university credit may be obtained by compliance with university requirements. In the department of public service, a bureau of information is maintained through which all legitimate inquiries are answered. Direct assistance is also rendered upon request to individuals and organizations interested in debating and public discussion. Lists of subjects for discussion, material for the preparation of papers and speeches, and special package libraries containing material relating to selected subjects, are sent upon request without cost except for transportation. Complete information with regard to university extension, including methods of organization, fees, and the granting of credit towards a university degree, will be sent on application to the University Extension Division, University of California, Berkeley. 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 cooperation 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 name 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 recommendations for positions are made only on request of those in authority. Letters requesting such recommendations 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. SUMMER SESSION The Summer Session of six weeks is designed for teachers and other persons who are unable to attend the University during the fall and spring 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 fifteen 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 1913 began June 23 and ended August 2. LIBRARY, MUSEUMS, AND LABORATORIES LIBRARY The General Library, housed in the newly completed building made possible by the request of the late Charles F. Doe, now contains about 265,000 volumes. It is constantly augmented by donations and exchange, and by large purchases of books with the income from the Michael Reese, Jane K. Sather, E. A. Denicke, and other funds. The extensive Bancroft collection of manuscripts and books relating to Pacific Coast history is in process of arrangement for use by historical students. The major portion of the manuscripts has been calendared. The resources of the Library are supplemented by borrowings from other libraries; and, similarly, the Library lends its books, under proper regulation, to other institutions. The various departments of instruction have separately kept collections of books, useful for ready reference and class-room work. The Library and Reading Room of the Department of Agriculture, situated in Agriculture Hall, 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. About one hundred and forty dailies, weeklies, and monthlies are regularly received. MUSEUMS as In the growth of the University during recent years, the space requirements of the various departments have made it impossible to keep in one building the collections which were originally designed to serve the basis for a University Museum. Excepting the Museum of Anthropology and the California Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, the collections of the various departments have been distributed among the buildings in which these departments are now situated. The Museum of Anthropology and the California Museum of Vertebrate Zoology are segregated in buildings which, though of temporary character, are specially constructed for museum purposes. |
