Courses numbered from 100 to 199 may, at the discretion of the instructor, be counted for undergraduate major credit by students in the upper division. Courses numbered from 200 up may, similarly, be counted as graduate courses. In every case students desiring major or graduate credit should make definite arrangements therefor with the instructor at the beginning of the session. Graduate students should also consult with the sub-committees directing their work.

The University issues formal Recommendations for Teachers' Certifi cates only to those who hold a bachelor's degree. Certificates of record for Summer Session work, whether of matriculation or of university grade, will be issued by the Recorder of the Faculties, upon application of any student in the session; and personal recommendations from instructors may be obtained by school officers and other inquirers through the office of the Appointment Secretary.

There will be no general period of final examinations. The matter of examinations for credit will be left in the hands of the instructors, who may use the regular recitation hours for that purpose, or may make special appointments with their classes.

Accomodations and Expenses

There are no dormitories on the campus, but there are many boarding houses and private homes in Berkeley where students may obtain board and room at prices ranging from $25 to $35 per month. There are also several restaurants in Berkeley where meals may be had à la carte. As the greater number of the regular students are away during the summer there are ample accomodations for all members of the Summer Session; it is therefore not advisable to engage quarters before coming to Berkeley. Families or groups of students desiring to club together are often able to find apartments, cottages or bungalows, furnished for housekeeping. A list of places offering board and room or either alone will be on file at the opening of the session, and every possible assistance will be given to strangers in their search for suitable boarding places.

The following table will enable the student to form an estimate of the expenses, exclusive of railway fare, to be met in attending the six weeks of the Summer Session:

Reduced Railroad Rates

Reduced rates of one first-class fare and one-third for the round trip are offered by the Southern Pacific, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fé, and the Western Pacific companies to attendants upon the Summer Session from all points in California. Persons from outside California may buy their tickets to the nearest point inside the state and take advantage of the reduced rates from that place, or they may, instead, avail themselves of the regular summer excursion tickets that will be on sale from all points in the East. In order to obtain the one and one-third fare it is necessary to pay the full fare to Berkeley (in the case of the Western Pacific to Oakland or San Francisco) and get a receipt from the agent from whom the ticket is purchased. Upon presentation to the railway agent in Berkeley (or in Oakland or San Francisco for the Western Pacific) of this receipt with the signature of the Recorder of the Faculties on the back thereof, a ticket to starting point will be sold at one-third the regular fare.

Going trip tickets can be bought only between June 13 and August 2, inclusive; receipt-certificates will be honored for one-third fare returning from June 23 to August 7, inclusive. Stopover privileges will be allowed on the going trip, but continuous passage will be required returning, the journey to be entered upon the day the ticket is bought. It should be remembered that the rate is obtainable only through the sale of the ticket for the return and that this ticket can be obtained only upon presentation of receipt-certificate signed by the Recorder of the Faculties and covering the fare paid on the going trip.

Library

Throughout the Summer Session the University Library will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday to Saturday inclusive, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday.

Full library privileges, including the home use of books, as accorded to regular University students, will be extended to students in the summer courses without additional fee. Persons who may desire to pursue independent courses of reading or study, during the Summer Session, without attending any of the regular exercises, may have full library privileges, upon application to the Librarian, and payment of $10.

Infirmary

The University has a well equipped infirmary on the campus, with a full complement of physicians and trained nurses. The best of care, without additional charge, is thus insured to students in case of illness.

University Calendar

The University of California CALENDAR will be issued every Friday throughout the summer session. The CALENDAR contains announcements of lectures, concerts, University Meetings, exhibits, meetings of University organizations, and information concerning the library, museums, art galleries, observatories and other parts of the University of interest to visitors. It will be mailed to any address for the six weeks of the Summer Session for 25 cents. During the college year the subscription price is 25 cents per half-year. Communications should be addressed to the University of California Calendar, Secretary's Office, California Hall, Berkeley, California.

Excursions

The department of physical education will arrange excursions for each Saturday during the session. On Saturday, July 5, a trip will be made around San Francisco Bay, landing at Mare Island Navy Yard and the Naval Training Station on Yerba Buena Island. An excursion to Mount Hamilton and the Lick Observatory for the classes in astronomy and others who may be interested has been arranged for July 12.

The student in Berkeley has within easy reach the libraries, museums, parks, concerts, lectures, theatres, etc., of San Francisco and Oakland. During the summer, when the Eastern season is over, many of the greater dramatic events of the year are to be seen in both San Francisco and Oakland.

Attendants at the Summer Session will find it easy to plan outings in the country about Berkeley, or across the Bay in Marin County; boating on Lake Merritt, or on the Bay; a trip to the Muir Woods, a national park of redwoods; tramps in the Berkeley or Piedmont hills, to Lake Chabot, Grizzly Peak, or up Mount Tamalpais (visitors may go up either by the scenic railway or the trails); salt water bathing at the Alameda beach; visits to Piedmont Park, which contains an art gallery, to the Piedmont sulphur springs, and to the Oakland Museum, as well as the several museums of San Francisco; electric car rides through Oakland to such places as San Leandro, Hayward and San Lorenzo; sightseeing trips about San Francisco, including Golden Gate Park, the Cliff House, the United States Mint, the new Chinatown, and the Presidio; week-end trips to near-by towns, such as San Jose, Monterey, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, Napa, etc.; tours of inspection to some of the manufacturing plants about the Bay at times to be arranged in advance with the managers of the respective companies.

High School Teachers' Conference

The California High School Teachers' Association has called a meeting in connection with the Summer Session of the University; the programme will extend over the entire first week of the session, beginning Monday, June 23, and ending Saturday, June 28. There will be general discussions, two half-day sessions for each of the most important high school subjects, and Friday will be given over to the problems of high school administration. Many of the specialists of the Faculty of the Summer Session will coöperate.

Site and Climate

The University of California is picturesquely situated on the lower slopes of the Berkeley hills, overlooking San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate. The site comprises about 530 acres of land, rising at first in a gentle and then in a bolder slope from a height of about 200 feet above sea level to one of over 1300 feet. It thus covers a range of more than 1100 feet in altitude, while immediately back of the campus the hills rise to a height of 1900 feet. Berkeley is a city of homes, with a population of about forty-three thousand people. The University campus is thirty-five minutes' ride by train and ferry from San Francisco and twenty-five minutes by electric car from the business center of Oakland.

The climate of Berkeley is well suited for uninterrupted university work during the summer months. The meteorological record kept by the University during the past twenty-six years shows an average temperature of about 60° for the months of June, July, and August. The average of the highest temperatures for each day is about 70°, and that of the lowest is about 53°. Extremes of heat are rare; the temperature of the hottest part of the warmest day seldom exceeds 90°, and in many years this temperature has not been reached. These higher temperatures last but a few hours at a time; and, as they are accompanied by low humidities, they are very rarely oppressive. Rain is practically unknown in July and August, but showers sometimes occur late in June. The prevailing wind is a gentle breeze from the southwest, which brings the cool, bracing air of the Pacific Ocean over the campus. These ocean breezes and the fog, which occurs at times during the summer, prevent the occurrence of high temperatures. There is scarcely a summer when an overcoat will not be found occasionally useful in Berkeley.
