The Lick Observatory at Mount Hamilton forms a separate department of the University. The unrivaled facilities for advanced astronomical work which are offered by its fine equipment, 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. The degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy are offered to students who have fulfilled the required conditions. (See Circular of Information for the Academic Departments.) 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 Mount Hamilton, Santa Clara County, California.
