mitted to complete her registration unless her boarding place is first approved by the Dean of Women.

Opportunities for Self-Support.-Students desiring employment should apply for information at the Bureau of Occupations, 301 Henry Morse Stephens Hall. The Employment Bureau acts only as an agent for the purpose of bringing together employers and students desiring work. It does not undertake to make arrangements with respect to remuneration.

Board and lodging can usually be obtained in exchange for three or four hours of household work daily. Opportunities also exist for obtaining employment on an hourly basis in the following fields: typewriting and stenography, clerical work, tutoring, telephone service, housework, care of children, general manual labor, etc. A student qualified to do draughting, computing and other technical work can occasionally find employment on a more remunerative basis than in the fields mentioned above.

Self-supporting students are respected. With reasonable diligence a student can devote from twelve to twenty-five hours per week to outside work without seriously interfering with college work of from twelve to sixteen units (involving thirty-six to forty-eight hours per week). It should always be borne in mind, however, by students seeking employment that not every kind nor every amount of outside work is entirely compatible with the student's main purpose at the University, namely, his education. Only in rare instances can a student be entirely self-supporting.

The Young Men's Christian Association acts as a bureau of information concerning boarding places and opportunities for remunerative employment.

Applicants for employment in teaching or tutoring should apply at the office of the Appointment Secretary, 105 Haviland Hall. These agencies, however, can do little for students who are not actually on the ground to negotiate for themselves. It is usually so difficult for a stranger to secure remunerative employment from the start that, in general, no one should come to Berkeley expecting to become self-supporting through the university course without having on hand at the beginning sufficient funds to cover the expenses of the first half-year.

EXPENSES OF STUDENTS

'For cost of board and lodging see above.

Tuition in the academic colleges and tuition at the Lick Observatory is free to residents of the State. Non-residents of California are charged a tuition fee of $75 each half-year, but this fee may be remitted, in whole or in part, in the case of students in full graduate standing in other than professional schools and colleges. Aliens who have not made valid declaration of intention to become citizens of the United States are classified as non-residents of California.

Tuition in the Medical School for residents is $200 per year, for nonresidents $500; in the College of Dentistry, for residents $150 per year, for non-residents $170 per year, payable in two installments.

An incidental fee of $25 per half-year is payable by every student, graduate or undergraduate, at the time of registration. This fee covers expenses of students other than the cost of their instruction and entitles them to the use of the gymnasium, tennis courts, handball courts, swimming pool, baths, towels, soap, lockers, washrooms, etc.; consultation, medical advice, hospital care or dispensary treatment in case of illness; makes possible the provision of books for use as texts in many courses; and meets in part the heavy expenses in connection with registration and graduation. This fee is not remitted in whole or in part for those who may not desire to make use of any or all of these privileges. One-half of the amount of this fee is returned to students who leave the University during the first half-year before September 1, or during the second halfyear before February 1.

In the School of Jurisprudence an incidental fee of $37.50 per halfyear is payable at the time of registration by every student registering in more than one professional course in law. This fee includes the incidental fee of $25 payable by all students, together with a law library fee of $12.50.

Laboratory Fees.-In the laboratories a charge is made for materials actually used. This charge, for students in the elementary laboratories, amounts to from $5 to $30 per annum.

The military uniform and textbook deposit for the basic courses at Berkeley is $15 (at the Branch of the College of Agriculture, Davis, $20) and is payable at the time of registration by every student subject to military training. This training is prescribed for all first- and secondyear undergraduate male students who are citizens of the United States, able-bodied, and under twenty-four years of age at admission to the University. The United States furnishes uniforms and some textbooks for the use of students receiving military training. The University being responsible for uniforms and textbooks furnished by the United States,

requires the student to deposit with the Comptroller an amount necessary to cover the cost of the articles issued him. The deposit is refunded at the close of the academic year, or upon the student's withdrawal from the University, provided the student then returns in good condition all articles issued him. The amount necessary to replace articles not returned by the student will be retained by the Comptroller. The textbooks are loaned the student through the University Library. The uniform is furnished the student by the Supply Officer at the Military Science Building.

The deposit for the advanced courses of infantry, coast artillery, air service and ordnance units is $38. This includes the uniform deposit ($36), $30 of which is refunded at the end of the first year of the advanced course, when the uniform becomes the property of the student; and $6 at the end of the second year. The textbook and equipment deposit of $2 is refunded at the close of the academic year or upon the student's withdrawal, with the return in good condition of all articles issued.

Other expenses are: Gymnasium outfit for men, about $4; for women, about $10.50; books and stationery, from $18 to $25 per annum. All students are eligible to membership in the Associated Students of the University of California. The cost of a membership card is $10 per year. The card entitles the holder to participation in the affairs of the Associated Students; one year's membership in Henry Morse Stephens Memorial Student Union; a free subscription to the Daily Californian; free admission to all athletic contests held on the campus under the jurisdiction of the Associated Students with the exception of final intercollegiate contests, and membership in the Associated Students' Store with the privilege of rebates on all purchases.

The ordinary yearly expenses of a student in the academic departments, including personal expenses, are probably at least $750.

A circular concerning student fees and deposits in all departments of the University in Berkeley and elsewhere may be obtained on application to the Recorder of the Faculties, University of California, Berkeley.

INFIRMARY

In return for the incidental fee, each student is entitled to consultation and medical and hospital care at the infirmary, on the campus. The daily average of dispensary consultations and treatments exceeds one hundred and fifty. Full hospital care is given in case of serious illness. There is no charge, beyond the incidental fee, for ordinary medical or hospital service; but if a surgical operation or a special nurse be required the cost must be borne by the patient. A small hourly charge is made for dental service.

APPOINTMENT REGISTRY

In January, 1898, the Regents of the University established, in the President's Office, a registry for teachers and others who desire the coöperation of the University in securing employment, the aim being to obtain complete information about all University candidates for positions. An Appointment Secretary was placed in charge of the list of candidates, which included not only recent graduates and former students of the University, but many who had won success in their special fields of work and who sought promotion.

At this time, the practice of giving recommendations to students to be used at their own discretion was discontinued. Reports from instructors and employers were filed with the Appointment Secretary, who thus obtained information in regard to the scholarship, personal qualifications and experience of each candidate, sufficient to form the basis for an intelligent answer to inquiries from appointing authorities. No official recommendations were made without such request.

During the twenty-four years that this office has been in existence, the bulk and scope of its work has increased so much that it has been found necessary to separate it into three departments-one dealing with elementary and secondary school positions, one with college and University positions, and a third which is in charge of undergraduate employment and the filling of positions in callings other than teaching.

1. The Appointment Secretary receives and answers requests for teachers for public and private kindergarten, elementary, and high school positions, teachers and supervisors of special subjects, superintendents and principals of schools, critic teachers for normal schools, and specially trained teachers for exceptional children, for adults, the foreign-born, or part-time classes; also tutors, and leaders for playground work, boyscout troops, and summer camps. Correspondents making such requests will save time by stating explicitly the subject to be taught, or the work to be done, the salary paid per year, and the time when employment begins. Prompt answer will be made to such requests throughout the summer vacation, as well as during the university year. The Secretary will consult any member of the faculty whose advice is especially desired. There are no fees for the service of this office.

Communications should be addressed to the Appointment Secretary, 105 Haviland Hall, University of California, Berkeley.

2. The President, through a representative appointed for that purpose, gives attention to recommendations for junior college, college, and university positions. Those interested in being considered for such positions, should, in their first communication, give complete information as to education and experience, as well as a list of references.
