Elements of Chemistry. Assistant Professor MORGAN. A general introduction to the subject, designed to present its essential facts and principles with especial reference to the chemistry of daily life and that part of the subject which is an essential of a general education. Daily lectures, experimentally illustrated, will be delivered by the instructor in addition to which each student will carry on a course of laboratory work. Credit for matriculation Chemistry 12b will be given for satisfactory completion of the course. M Tu W Th F, 11. 217 Chemistry Building. 2. Advanced Chemistry. Assistant Professor MORGAN. The opportunity will be given to a limited number of properly qualified students to undertake experimental work of an advanced character along the line of inorganic chemistry. This may take the form of the study of special problems of an original character. University credit, not to exceed three units, may be given for the course to properly qualified students. M Tu W Th F, 10. 217 Chemistry Building. 3. The Teaching of Chemistry in Secondary Schools. Assistant Professor MORGAN. This course will partake of the nature of conferences with actual or prospective teachers of chemistry, and will consist of discussions of text-books, methods and aims of teaching, and similar topics, using Course 1 as a basis for the discussions. No credit toward a University degree will be given for this course, its purpose being the assistance of teachers. M Tu W Th F, 8. 217 Chemistry Building. BOTANY. W. J. V. OSTERHOUT, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Botany. 1. Biology of Plants. Assistant Professor OSTERHOUT. The biology of plants compared with that of animals; important applications to agriculture, hygiene, and sanitation; experiments suitable for schools. 2 units. Lectures M Tu W, 10. Field work (5 hrs.) to be arranged. 22 South Hall. 2. Evolution of Plants. Assistant Professor OSTERHOUT. The forms of plants, their evolutionary origin, their modification by experimental treatment; the laws of evolution and their application to plant breeding. 2 units. Lectures M Tu W, 11. Field work (5 hrs.) to be arranged. 22 South Hall. The lectures may be taken separately, counting 1 unit. 3. Elementary Plant Physiology. Dr. GARDNER. A laboratory course in experimental plant physiology especially designed to meet the needs of teachers; particular attention will be given to the study of soils and bacteria. 2 units.

CHARLES ATWOOD KOFOID, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Histology and Embryology. HARRY BEAL TORREY, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Zoology. ELLIS LEROY MICHAEL, A.B., Assistant in Zoology. The Marine Biological Survey that has been carried on during the last five years on the coast of Southern California by the Department of Zoology will be continued with broadened scope and increased facilities in the new laboratory at La Jolla, near San Diego. While, as heretofore, the whole time and effort of the staff of the laboratory will have to be devoted to research, a limited number of students sufficiently advanced to be able to work under the guidance of the investigators to the advantage of both themselves and their directors will be gladly admitted. The station will be open from May 20 to August 15. Applications for admission to its privileges for the whole or a part of the season should be sent as early as possible to Professor William E. Ritter, Berkeley, California. Graduate students who are qualified for admission to candidacy for a higher degree in the University may, with the approval of the Professor of Zoology, have the time spent at work in the laboratory count as University residence for such degree. CIVIL ENGINEERING. Summer Classes in Topographical and Railroad Surveying - Civil Engineering 3A and 3B. A camp will be established on Liddell Creek, eleven miles northwest of Santa Cruz, where two sessions of the Summer Class in Surveying will be held, students attending the first session leaving Berkeley on May 16, and those attending the second session on June 13. The topographic survey (Civil Engineering 3A) will comprise field and office work, covering the determination of latitude and time, base-line measurement, triangulation, traversing, stadia work and map-making from field-notes, together with plane-table mapping and problems illustrative of general land and mine surveys. The railroad survey (Civil Engineering 3B) will consist of reconnaissance, preliminary and locative surveys and the making of all maps, profiles, and estimates necessary for the letting of a contract for the construction of a short railroad. For students of Sanitary and Irrigation Engineering, the above will be modified in 1907 by the substitution of the location of a canal for that of a railroad. The fee for the course will be $10, payable in advance to the Secretary of the University. A deposit of $20 is also required, to cover traveling, commissary, and other expenses, the unexpended balance of which will be returned to the student. HYGIENE.
