passages from Xenophon. Rolfe's edition of Xenophon's Anabasis, Book v, is a convenient text for practice in sight translation. 9. Greek. (1 unit.) (a) Translation into Greek of easy passages of connected English prose based on Xenophon; (b) Homer's Iliad, Books I-III, with questions on Homeric forms and prosody. Students should be trained not only to write a correct metrical scheme, but also to read Homeric hexameters at sight, with fluency and expression. 10. Ancient History and Geography. (1 unit.) (a) Greek history to the death of Alexander, with the connected geography. (b) Roman history to A.D. 410, with the connected geography. Smith's History of Greece, Myers' History of Greece, Liddell's History of Rome, will serve to indicate the amount required. 11. Physics. (1 unit.) The requirement represents at least a daily exercise during one school year, which falls within the last two years of preparation for college. It is expected that the ground covered will include fair representation of primary empirical laws from each of the main subdivisions of Physics. The results called for demand vigorous and thorough instruction in the class-room, based upon laboratory exercises by the pupils. In addition to the test of a written examination, it will be insisted upon that each candidate submit a laboratory note-book, signed by his teacher, as evidence that the main principles of the subject as treated have been presented experimentally. 12. Advanced Mathematics, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology. (a) Advanced Mathematics. (1 unit.) Any two of the following: (1) Solid Geometry. The fundamental propositions of solid and spherical geometry, accompanied by a suitable amount of exercise in problems -the whole to represent the work of one half-year. (2) Plane Trigonometry. The development of the general formulæ of plane trigonometry, with applications to the solution of plane triangles and the measurement of heights and distances. (3) Advanced Algebra, Part I. Surds and complex quantities, ratio, proportion and variation, arithmetical, geometrical, and harmonic progressions, examples of other simple series, determinants and elements of the theory of equations. (4) Advanced Algebra, Part II. Inequalities, limits, and indeterminate forms, exponentials, and logarithms, natural logarithms, convergency and divergency of series, indeterminate coefficients with applications to integral functions, partial fractions, expansion of functions and summation of series, permutations and combinations, the binomial theorem for any index, exponential and logarithmic series, logarithmic computation. Students who bring credits from accredited high schools in one or more of the mathematical divisions of Subject 12a, viz., Solid Geometry, Trigonometry, Advanced Algebra, Part I; Advanced Algebra, Part II-may subtract two units for each of these subjects from the ten units of the mathematical requirement in college. Such credits, however, will not go upon the student's record as college work and be reckoned as a part of the requirement of 125 units for a degree, unless either the entrance or the term examinations in those subjects be taken and passed with a grade not lower than the second; and in no case will such credits be reckoned as college work if they have been used for matriculation. (b) Chemistry. (1 unit.) The preparation required will include a thorough acquaintance with the elementary principles of the science. Laboratory practice is essential. A full year of preparation will be expected. (e) Botany. (1 unit.) A knowledge of. the morphology and simpler physiology of the higher plants is required. This should be based upon a full year of practical work in the laboratory and to some extent, also, in the field. Careful attention should be paid to the recording of observations, by notes and drawings, together with the drawing of correct inferences from the observations. It is desirable that the pupils become familiar with the easier orders of flowering plants represented in the local flora. Bergen's Elements of Botany (Pacific Coast Edition), Spaulding's Introduction to Botany, and Setchell's Laboratory Practice for Beginners indicate both the scope and the method of the work. (d) Zoology. (1 unit.) To consist in the actual study of animals, and recitations, the practical work to be the center of the preparation. The practical work should be partly in the laboratory and partly in the field. The chief aim of the examinations in the subject will be to determine how closely and accurately pupils have observed. Such guides for study as Boyer's Elementary Biology, Part I, or Colton's Practical Zoology. 13. Mediæval and Modern History. (1 unit.) Myers' Mediæval and Modern History will indicate the period to be covered and the amount required. 14. English. (2 units.) The examination in this subject will presuppose thorough acquaintance with the works named below, as regards organization and development of thought, as regards style and metrical structure, and as regards their relation to the author and his age: (1) Burke's Speech before the Election at Bristol, Macaulay's First Speech on the Reform Bill, and Webster's Reply to Hayne; (2) Poems, lyrical, reflective, didactic, and satirical: Milton's Comus, Lycidas, and Sonnets II, XVI, XIX, XXII, Dryden's Alexander's Feast, Pope's Rape of the Lock, Gray's Elegy and the Bard, Keats' The Eve of St. Agnes and the Nightingale, Shelley's The Cloud and The Skylark, Wordsworth's Tintern Abbey, Laodamia, Ode on the Intimations of Immortality, and Ode to Duty, Lowell's The Vision of Sir Launfal, Browning's A Transcript from Euripides (in Balaustion's Adventure), Tennyson's The Passing of Arthur, Chaucer's Prologue to the Canterbury Tales;* (3) Thackeray's The Newcomes. While the regular examination will be confined to these subjects, schools on the accredited list of the University may, after consultation with the English Department, make such substitutions as the following: For (1), any three oratorical masterpieces of argument (including one of Burke's); for the Rape of the Lock, -the Essay on Man, or Dryden's The Character of a Good Parson, Pope's Epistles to Jervas and Boyle, and Johnson's The Vanity of Human Wishes; for Chaucer's Prologue to the Canterbury Tales,-selections from Clough and Arnold; for the Vision of Sir Launfal,-Tennyson's Enid, or his Gareth and Lynette; for Comus,-Paradise Lost, Book 1, or 2, or 5, or 6; for (3),-Silas Marner and the Vicar of Wakefield, or Henry Esmond. 15. A Modern Language. Namely, either of the following, involving about two years' work: (a) French. (2 units.) The ability to read at sight simple French prose, and to translate correctly simple English into French; a knowledge of the principles of French grammar, as contained in any good work on the subject. (b) German. (2 units.) The ability to read at sight simple German prose, and to translate correctly simple English into German; a knowledge of the principles of German grammar, as contained in any good work on the subject. Ability to follow University classexercises in German, and to answer in German. 16. Freehand Drawing. (1 unit.) Representing not less than two years' work of not less than four hours per week. The study of light and shade and perspective, by drawing and shading, with lead pencil, from geometric models (such as the cube, cylinder, sphere, etc., singly and in groups) and from simple objects in perspective that are related to these in form. *Beginning with August, 1900, the examination will be upon the poems of this list; until that date either this list or the earlier one (as published in the Register for 1895-96) may be offered. 1. ADMISSION FROM ACCREDITED SCHOOLS. Admission from Accredited Schools is regulated by the following Order of the Board of Regents, passed March 4, 1884: "Upon the request of the Principal of any public or private school in California whose course of study embraces, in kind and extent, the subjects required for admission to any college of the University at Berkeley, a committee of the Academic Senate will visit such school, and report upon the quality of the instruction there given. If the report of such committee be favorable, a graduate of the school, upon the personal recommendation of the Principal, accompanied by his certificate that the graduate has satisfactorily completed the studies of the course preparatory to the college he wishes to enter, may, at the discretion of the Faculty of such College, be admitted without examination. "Principals' applications made in accordance with the provisions of the foregoing paragraph must be in the hands of the RECORDER OF THE FACULTIES, at Berkeley, on or before the first day of December of each school year." Beginning with the school year 1897-98, no school will be accredited unless its course of study includes all the subjects required for admission to at least one of the Colleges at Berkeley. Recommended graduates of accredited schools who wish to postpone their entrance to the University should send their recommendations, with specific request for extension, to the RECORDER OF THE FACULTIES. Extension may be granted for one year, with the possibility of renewal, upon request. Recommendations become invalid if not presented within twenty months after graduation. List of Accredited Schools, 1896–97. The schools named below have been accredited, for the school year 1896-97, as follows: The subject-numbers refer to the General List of Preparatory Subjects, as described on pp. 53-58. Where a subject is entered without specification of subdivisions, the accrediting applies to the whole subject. The accrediting applies only to subjects offered by the graduating class of the present year. Square brackets enclosing a figure indicate that accrediting in the corresponding subject is continued, although the subject was not taught, or was not offered for accrediting, during 1896-97. In a few cases it was not possible to examine schools in some subjects. Graduates of 1897 offering these subjects take the regular entrance examinations in them. The accrediting in subjects in which an advance in the requirement takes place in 1897 will not hold good for admission after 1896, except by express authorization of the Committee on the Examination of Schools.
