LICK OBSERVATORY

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 Arts and Doctor of Philosophy are offered to students who have fulfilled the required conditions. (See Announcement of the Graduate School.) 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.

†These courses form a series which the student can complete in about three years. From two to three of these courses are offered every term, the selection being based on the needs and the preparation of the graduate students in astronomy.

BOTANY

WILLIAM A. SETCHELL, Ph.D., Professor of Botany.

WILLIS L. JEPSON, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Dendrology.

HARVEY M. HALL, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Economic Botany and Assistant Botanist to the Agricultural Experiment Station.

NATHANIEL L. GARDNER, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Botany.

THOMAS H. GOODSPEED, Ph.D., Instructor in Botany.

TOWNSHEND S. BRANDEGEE, Ph.B., Honorary Curator in the Herbarium.

C. A. PURPUS, Pharm.D., Botanical Collector.
ROBERT P. BRANDT, M.S., Assistant in Botany.
JOHN N. KENDALL, M.S., Assistant in Botany.
H. E. MCMINN, Assistant in Botany.

Courses 1A-1B, 2, and 3 are elementary courses and may be counted for prescribed science in the College of Letters and Science. Course 1A-1B is not necessarily for students intending to group in botany, but courses 2 and 3 lead directly to and are prerequisite for advanced work in the subject. Lecture courses in the summer session may be equivalent to course 1A-1B in part, and credit will not be given for both in such a case. Courses 2 and 3 are also designed to fulfill lower division requirements in the College of Agriculture. Laboratory courses in the summer session may be equivalent to courses 2 and 3; credit will not be given for duplicated work.

Courses 104A-104B, 105A, 109A-109в, and 116 are required for major subjects in different divisions of the department of agriculture.

For the teacher's recommendation, students are advised to take courses 104A-104B, 105A-105в, and 109A-109B, with the prerequisites, but should consult with the head of the department early in their course.

For those students who expect to prepare for botanical research or teaching, a broad foundation in related subjects is strongly advised. The fundamental courses in physics and chemistry should be taken, if possible, before the work in botany is begun. Courses in physiology, zoology, and plant pathology may be included to advantage; higher mathematics is desirable; a reading knowledge of French and German is necessary; some knowledge of Latin is very desirable for advanced systematic botany.

A laboratory fee of $2.50 will be charged each half-year for each laboratory course. This rule applies to courses 2, 3, 104A-104B, 105A-105B, 106A-106B, 107A-107B, 109A-109B, 111A-111B, 112A-112B, 113A-113в, 116, 225A-225B, 226, 227, and 228A-228B.
