The numerical grades to be given students are based on a passing mark of seventy-five per cent. When a student falls below seventy-five per cent. he is conditioned and is required to take a supplementary examination, by arrangement with the proper teacher, within thirty days after the opening of the fall term. Conditioned students will present themselves at the Clerk's office at this time and learn from him or from the bulletin board announcements, the hours of the supplementary examinations. Students who do not present themselves at this time must pay the regular fee for second re-examinations. Students who are absent from examinations are marked failed. Members of the faculty do not give to students their numerical grades, but may give verbally to students their grades according to the following classification: Grade A, representing a numerical marking between 90 and 100. Grade B, representing a numerical marking between 80 and 89, inclusive. Grade C, representing a numerical marking between 75 and 79, inclusive. Grade D, representing a numerical marking below 75-conditioned. Students who are conditioned in two or more subjects or who have failed in re-examination shall have their markings reviewed by the Educational Committee, and that committee may call such students before it and shall decide whether re-examinations shall be allowed, or whether the work involved in the conditions shall be repeated in class, in whole or in part, or whether the entire year's work shall be repeated. All students are required to remove conditions within thirty days after the opening of the succeeding session. Under extraordinary circumstances students may be allowed until after the Christmas holidays to remove conditions. If conditions are not removed at that time, such students may be debarred from the midwinter examinations. Any student, after proper request, upon the recommendation of the Educational Committee, may have the privilege of being re-examined in a subject in which he has been conditioned, by a special committee of three to be appointed by the Educational Committee. At the end of the year, or so soon thereafter as the records will allow, the Secretary will notify all students who have fulfilled their financial obligations to the college, of their alphabetical grades, calling the attention of conditioned students to their conditions and that such conditions must be removed before the opening of the succeeding term. Students who have not removed their conditions by the beginning of the succeeding session shall be reported to the Educational Committee, which committee shall recommend such action as may be deemed best.

Exceptional opportunities for practical hospital experience are within the grasp of all properly qualified graduates of the institution. Among such may be mentioned the Los Angeles County, the California, the Sisters', and a number of other hospitals. DISCIPLINE AND GOOD ORDER. All students are expected to observe the principles of good conduct and order while attending the college, and plain infractions of the rules will be referred to the Executive Committee of the Faculty, with recommendation of reprimand, suspension or expulsion. SUGGESTIONS TO PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS. It would be to the advantage of students if they would matriculate a few days in advance of the opening exercises, secure boarding places, and fulfill the entrance requirements, so that their studies may not be interrupted in the beginning. COST OF LIVING. The cost of living is no greater in Berkeley and Los Angeles than in other American cities, the expense depending largely on the tastes of the student. Good board, with room rent, may be procured at a very moderate price, at a convenient distance from the college buildings. Circulars of information concerning Los Angeles may be obtained by addressing the Information Bureau of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce or any of the trans-continental railroads. HOW TO REACH THE COLLEGE. Students who desire to go directly to the college should transfer to yellow Garvanza or Griffin avenue cars, going north on Main street. These cars stop in front of the college buildings. The office of the Clerk of the college is on the first floor of Founders' Building. The street address of the College of Medicine is 737 North Broadway (Buena Vista street), Los Angeles, Cal. The clerks of the college are in the offices from 9 a.m. to 12 m. and from 1 to 5 p.m., and will be glad to answer questions and extend courtesies to visiting physicians and prospective students. The Dean and Secretary may be seen at their respective offices as follows: The Dean, Dr. W. Jarvis Barlow, 616 Security Building, Fifth and Springs streets, Los Angeles; The Secretary, Dr. George H. Kress, 240 Bradbury Building, Third and Broadway, Los Angeles. MATRICULATION. All new students must present their credentials to the Dean and must then matriculate with the Secretary of the Faculty. Prospective students wishing information should state class they wish to enter. For additional information, apply in person to the Dean or Secretary, or address, DR. GEORGE H. KRESS, Los Angeles, Cal. DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION AT BERKELEY ANATOMY. ROBERT ORTON MOODY, B.S., M.D., Assistant Professor of Anatomy. RICHARD WARREN HARVEY, M.S., Instructor in Anatomy. RUBY L. CUNNINGHAM, B.S., Assistant in Anatomy. The courses of instruction in anatomy are given in Berkeley. The classes in gross anatomy are divided into small groups in order to avoid the inevitable noise and disturbance which result from a large group of students working together. Material for dissection is prepared in the embalming room, which is equipped with the necessary hydraulic apparatus to inject both the embalming fluids and the color masses for the arteries and veins at any desired pressure. After this process is completed the bodies are preserved in a carbolic solution. The teaching museum consists of specially prepared corrosions, injections, dissections, and models. The laboratory for microscopic anatomy is outfitted with microtomes and is supplied with all the stains and reagents necessary for the ordinary and finer methods of microscopic preparation. The routine work of the department falls into the natural divisions of gross and microscopic anatomy, and some effort is made to have the transition between the two as gradual as possible. Inasmuch as the process of formal education must end sooner or later, the department endeavors as far as possible to make the students entirely independent. This is further encouraged in the elective system, by which a certain amount of selection is allowed in the regular work of the department. MICROSCOPIC ANATOMY. The various tissues and organs of the body are studied from the developmental point of view so that their gradual differentiation from the embryonic to the adult form is taken up. Since function and structure can not be separated in the consideration of the microscopic appearance of tissues and organs, their chief physiological aspects are briefly con In residence second half-year only, 1911-12. sidered. The study of each group consists of three main steps: (1) For the purpose of orientation, the consideration of their macroscopic appearances, relations, and physiology. (2) The transition from the macroscopic to the microscopic conditions is made with the dissecting microscope and teasing methods, free hand or frozen sections. (3) The more detailed study is made from specimens prepared by methods designed to emphasize their principal microscopic features. In this course the value of comparing the organs of a series of animals is recognized and the student is given numerous comparative specimens. Routine sections are, as a rule, prepared by the technical assistant and are only mounted by the student. In order to familiarize himself with the details of histological technique, each member of the class must present during the year acceptable preparations of different organs made by various methods. This includes the process of fixation, embedding in both paraffin and celloidin, and staining by the common methods. On the completion of a group of closely related subjects, the student is required to incorporate the results of his laboratory work in a paper fully covering the ground. The paper must be illustrated with the laboratory drawings and contain an epitome of the student's notes and collateral reading. The drawings are made from preparations of human material wherever this is possible. 101. Histology. Dr. DAL PIAZ. In this course are considered the anatomy of the cell, its variations in form, the conditions and processes of its proliferation, and the modifications which result in its differentiation into a cell of specialized type. The formation of the embryonic germ layers is then taken up and followed by a detailed study of the different fundamental tissues of the body, as these are composed of cells and cell products and derived from one or the other of the germ layers. This study is always comparative. First year. year. Two laboratory periods, two lectures a week, first half4 units. 102. Mieroscopic Organology. Dr. DAL PIAZ. The organs are discussed with reference to their form, arrangement, and the number of the fundamental tissues composing them, with special reference to their structural and functional relations to other organs. In each case the student begins their study with the structures in situ, and special effort is made to bridge the gap between the appearance of the organs in gross and under the microscope. First year. Two laboratory periods, two lectures a week, first halfyear. 4 units. 103. Neurology. Mr. HARVEY. In this course special attention is paid to the macroscopic and microscopic architecture of the central nervous system and the organs of |
