ORGANIZATION The University of California is an integral part of the public educational system of the state. As such it completes the work begun in the public schools. Through aid from the state and the United States, and by private gifts, it furnishes facilities for instruction in literature and in science, and in the professions of art, law, medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy. Concerning tuition fees apply to the Recorder of the Faculties for a schedule of such fees, with a statement of exemptions, to be published on or about July 1, 1921. The instruction in all the colleges is open to all qualified persons, without distinction of sex. The Constitution of the State provides for the perpetuation of the University, with all its departments. ADMINISTRATION The government of the University of California is entrusted to a corporation styled THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, consisting of the Governor, the Lieutenant-Governor, the Speaker of the Assembly, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, the President of the State Board of Agriculture, the President of the Mechanics Institute of San Francisco, the President of the Alumni Association, and the President of the University, as members ex officio, and sixteen other regents appointed by the Governor and approved by the Senate. To this corporation the State has committed the administration of the University, including management of the finances, care of the property, appointment of teachers, and determination of the internal organization in all particulars not fixed by law. The instruction and government of the students are entrusted to the Faculties of the several colleges and to the Academic Senate. The faculty of each college consists of the President of the University and those professors and instructors, and only those, whose departments are represented in it by required or elective studies. The Academic Senate consists of the members of the faculties and the instructors of the University. It holds regular meetings at least twice a year, and is created for the purpose of conducting the general administration of the University, memorializing the Regents, regulating in the first instance the general and special courses of instruction, and receiving and determining all appeals from acts of discipline enforced by the faculty of any college; and it exercises such other powers as the Regents may confer upon it. In all matters not expressly delegated to the Senate or to the several faculties the Regents govern, either directly or through the President or Secretary. SITE AND CLIMATE OF BERKELEY The principal seat of the University is at Berkeley, a city of about 60,000 inhabitants, on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, directly opposite the Golden Gate. It is thirty-five minutes' ride by train and ferry from San Francisco, and twenty-five minutes' ride by electric car from the business center of Oakland. The site of the University comprises about five hundred and thirty acres, rising at first in gentle and then in bolder slopes from a height of about two hundred feet above the sea level to one of about thirteen hundred feet. It has a superb outlook over the bay and city of San Francisco, the neighboring plains and mountains, the ocean, and the Golden Gate. Berkeley is a healthful locality; the slope of the town site makes perfect drainage possible. The climate of Berkeley is one of great uniformity and is exceptionally well suited for university work throughout the year. The summers are cool, making it possible to begin the academic year earlier than in Eastern universities, and thus divide it at the Christmas holidays into two equal half-years. Commencement is usually held about the middle of May. Extremes of heat and cold are unknown. The average temperatures are about 59 degrees in summer and 48 degrees in winter. Temperatures as high as 85 degrees are of infrequent occurrence and never last more than a few hours. Very low temperatures do not occur; within the last twenty-five years 24.9 degrees was the lowest temperature recorded at the University. The marked rainy season begins in November and continues through March, although rains may occur in all months except July and August. In the winter rain falls on three or four days in succession, after which a week or more of fine weather follows. On the average, even in winter, less than a third of the whole number of days are rainy. The annual rainfall at Berkeley is about 27 inches. The prevailing summer wind is from the southwest off the Pacific Ocean. It is cool and damp, seldom attaining a velocity of over fifteen miles an hour. During the winter months easterly winds are common, although a considerable portion of the winds are westerly throughout the year. In winter there is occasionally a strong, cool northwest wind, or a strong north or northeast wind which is dry and warm. UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULA There are established at Berkeley seven colleges, in each of which there is an undergraduate curriculum of four years, leading directly, under conditions hereinafter stated, to a bachelor's degree, as follows: The College of Letters and Science: to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. to the degree of Bachelor of Science: The Colleges of in the College of Commerce; in the College of Agriculture-in any one of the following: in the College of Mechanics-(1) in mechanical engineering, in the College of Civil Engineering—(1) in railroad engineer- in the College of Chemistry-(1) in chemistry, or (2) in chemical technology. There are permitted, in addition, courses at large and partial courses, not leading directly to any degree, but through each of which, by compliance with the conditions upon which it is conferred, a degree is possibly obtainable. The University has no preparatory department.
