Assistant Professor HENGSTLER. Professor STRINGHAM. Associate Professor EDWARDS. 20. Selected Topics in Higher Mathematics. Associate Professor HASKELL. *Not given in 1897-98. The Lick Astronomical Observatory on Mount Hamilton forms a separate department of the University. The unrivaled facilities for advanced astronomical work which are afforded by the great telescope, in this favorable location, are too well known to require description here. The Department is open to graduate students under regulations prescribed by the Regents. (See under Lick Astronomical Department. The degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy are offered to students who have fulfilled the required conditions. See page 218.) A few special students, of mature age and with the [roper preparation, are received during the summer. For information relating to graduate work at the Observatory, intending students should address the Recorder of the Faculties, at Berkeley, or the Director of the Lick Observatory, at Mt. Hamilton, Santa Clara County. STUDENTS' OBSERVATORY AT BERKELEY. Primarily for Graduates. The topics each year depend upon the needs and the preparation of the students enrolled. 12. Graduate Course in Theoretical Astronomy. Assistant Professor LEUSCHNER. For Graduates and Advanced Undergraduates. The topics each year depend upon the needs and the preparation of the students enrolled. *5. History of Astronomy. Not given in 1897-98. Assistant Professor LEUSCHNER. The opportunities which the Chemical Department offers for graduate study may be stated as follows: (a) Work in the Chemical Seminary, including readings from the original literature, with criticism, suggestions, and examinations, verifications of important statements, etc.; (b) Investigations in the Chemical Laboratory. The Chemical Seminary is open to graduate students, and to advanced undergraduates who have made exceptional attainments. The meetings of the Seminary will be weekly, at which members will be required to present the results of their study and investigation. will be subject to criticism and searching inquiry. These Courses are so arranged that the assignment of work is individual and can be adapted to the special wants of the student. The progress of the student will be determined solely by his industry and ability to grasp the subject. As before stated, the students and instructors of the department will meet in the Seminary and listen to the presentation and discussion of the results of study by the members. Special research work will be assigned to students, which they will be expected to carry out under the guidance of the Professor. This is regarded as the most important work of the student, and all possible help and encouragement will be given in carrying it out. The laboratories are commodious, and adapted to the work of research. The supply of modern apparatus is ample, and will be placed at the disposal of competent students. The Library of the University, supplemented by the private libraries of the Professors, will give the student access to practically the whole literature of the subject. BOTANY. Professor SETCHELL. Mr. JEPSON. Primarily for Graduates. 14. Advanced Cryptogamic Botany. 15. Advanced Phænogamic Botany. *Not given in 1897-98. 13. Introduction to Zoological Investigation, based upon the Mr. TORREY. Colenterata. Students who are in position to carry on original investigations are given the benefit of every facility and encouragement at the command of the department. The work done during the last few years, particularly on the marine invertebrate fauna of California, has served to reveal more and more clearly the richness, in many respects unique, of the opportunities here afforded for making important contributions to zoological science in its various aspects. The museum collections are readily accessible to students pursuing advanced studies, and are particularly valuable to those who undertake investigations in systematic zoölogy. *Not given in 1897-98. |
