ORGANIZATION OF INSTRUCTION.

UNDERGRADUATE COURSES.

There are established at Berkeley eight colleges, in each of which there is an undergraduate curriculum of four years, leading directly, under conditions hereinafter stated, to a corresponding degree, namely:

The
Colleges of
General Culture.

The
Colleges of
Applied Science.

to the degree of A.B.

in the College of Letters;

to the degree of B.L.

in the College of Social Sciences;

to the degree of B.S.

in the College of Natural Sciences.

to the degree of B.S.

in the College of Agriculture,

in the College of Mechanics,

in the College of Mining,

in the College of Civil Engineering, in the College of Chemistry.

A College of Commerce has been established and is in process of organization.

There are permitted, in addition, Courses at Large and Partial Courses, not leading directly to any degree, but through each of which, by compliance with the conditions upon which it is conferred, a degree is possibly attainable.

GRADUATE COURSES.

Advanced instruction, leading to the degrees of Master of Arts (with the corresponding degrees in Letters and Science) and Doctor of Philosophy, is offered by the University of California to graduates of any reputable 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 more than 70,000 volumes, and is admirably adapted, so far as its extent allows, for purposes of ad-vanced 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.

Regularly organized courses of graduate instruction are offered by the following departments at Berkeley: Philosophy, Pedagogy, Jurisprudence, History and Political Science, Semitic Languages and Literatures, Oriental Languages and Literatures, Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, English, German, the Romance Languages, Decorative and Industrial Art, Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology, Geology and Mineralogy, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mining and Metallurgy, Mechanical Drawing, Agriculture, Horticulture, and Entomology; also in Astronomy at the Lick Observatory.

TEACHERS' COURSES.

Professional training for students who desire to teach is offered by the University through the Department of Pedagogy and other departments that offer special Teachers' Courses. Boards of Education and of Examination have authority, under Sections 1775 and 1792 of the Political Code, to issue certificates of the High School grade without examination to graduates of the University when recommended by the Faculty; also to graduates of any Normal School in California, who have successfully completed the two-year course in Pedagogy at the University. The requirements prescribed for candidates for the Recommendation for the Teacher's Certificate are stated in the announcement of courses of the Department of Pedagogy.

STATUS OF STUDENTS.

In respect to status, students are classed as Graduate and Undergraduate; and Undergraduates as Regular Students, Students at Large, and Partial Course Students, the last being further classified as Special Students and Limited Students.

Graduate Students are such graduates of the University, or of other institutions empowered to confer like degrees on an equivalent basis, as are pursuing advanced or special studies under the direction of a Faculty. Such students may or may not be candidates for higher degrees.

Regular Students are those Undergraduates who pursue the estabJished curriculum of a College. They are ranked in four classes of a year's work each, namely, the First or Freshman, the Second or Sophomore, the Third or Junior, and the Fourth or Senior.

Seniors are such Undergraduates as have been promoted to candidacy for the Bachelor's degree. To attain Senior standing they must have completed unconditionally, at this University or elsewhere, an approved curriculum of studies equivalent to three years' work in the University of California.

Students at Large are Undergraduates devoting to their studies the full time required of Regular Students, but pursuing purely elective

courses.

Special Students are Partial Course Students of mature age and character, admitted to courses in the University upon demonstrating to the officers in charge requisite ability and preparation.

Limited Students are Partial Course Students to whom, for adequate reasons, less work is permitted, or assigned, than is required of Regular Students.

Students at Large, Special Students, and Limited Students virtue of their status, not candidates for any degree.
