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.

A law library fee of $12.50 per half-year is payable at the time of registration by every student registering in more than one professional course in law.

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 text-book deposit of $30 is payable by every student subject to military training before his study-card is filed. Military training is prescribed for all first- and second-year 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 text-books for the use of students receiving military training. The University being responsible for uniforms and text books 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 text books are loaned the student through the University Library. The uniform is furnished the student by the Supply Officer at the Military Science Building.

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 about $5 per year. The card entitles the holder to participation in the affairs of the Associated Students; 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, would probably be at least $750.

INFIRMARY

In return for the infirmary 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 infirmary 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.

SCHOLARSHIPS AND FELLOWSHIPS

A circular concerning undergraduate scholarships may be obtained from the Recorder of the Faculties. Information concerning graduate scholarships and fellowships may be obtained from the Dean of the Graduate Division, University of California, Berkeley.

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION

The University of California, by means of its Extension Division, serves persons who seek some form of educational training but are prevented from enrolling at the University as resident students. This service is available in all parts of California, and is designed to meet the needs of adults in any stage of educational advancement. The Extension Division thus puts within the reach of the people of California the usefulness of the University. It aims to help citizens utilize their leisure, meet more fully their civic responsibilities, and advance in their industrial, business, and professional vocations.

I. INSTRUCTION

1. The Department of Class Instruction organizes and conducts classes in cities and towns wherever a sufficient number of people can be secured who wish to study the same subject. Instruction is offered in languages, literature, public speaking, mathematics, political science, business branches, economics, engineering, technical branches, and other subjects.

2. The Department of Correspondence Instruction offers instruction by mail in languages, literature, mathematics, music, drawing, education, political science, engineering, geography, etc. Courses may begin at any time.

APPOINTMENT REGISTRY FOR TEACHERS

In January, 1898, the Regents of the University established, in the President's Office, a registry for teachers and others who desire the cooperation of the University in securing employment. The aim is to obtain complete information in regard to all University candidates for the teaching profession. A secretary is in charge of the lists of applicants, which include the names of many who have already won success in their professions and who seek promotion. The secretary secures evidence in regard to the scholarship, experience, and personal qualifications of each candidate, and on the basis of this information answers inquiries from appointing authorities.

The purpose is to secure such information as will enable the University to name the best available candidate for a given position. The practice of giving written recommendations to students, to be used at their own discretion, has been discontinued. Reports from instructors are filed in the office of the Appointment Secretary. Copies of these reports will be mailed to school officers at their request, or at the request of the student concerned. But the President reserves the right of refusing to extend the cooperation of the University to students when they apply for positions

for which they are manifestly unfit. Official recommendations for positions are made only on request of those in authority. Letters requesting such recommendations should state explicitly the subjects to be taught, or the work to be done, the salary paid per year, and the time when the engagement begins. Prompt answer will be made to such letters 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 services of this office.

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

SUMMER SESSIONS

The summer session of six weeks is designed for teachers and other persons who are unable to attend the University during the fall and spring Sessions. There are at present no formal entrance requirements, except that applicants must be persons of good moral character and must be considered by the faculty to be of sufficient maturity and intelligence to profit by attendance upon the exercises of the session. The courses of instruction are mainly of university grade, and credit toward university degrees may be given to attendants who comply with such conditions of work and examinations as may be imposed by the instructors in charge. The Intersession conducted during the six weeks immediately preceding the Summer Session is designed primarily for regular students of the University. By attending both the Summer Session and the Intersession students may obtain credit for one semester's residence and twelve units of work. The tuition fee for each session is $20, regardless of the number of courses taken.

An Announcement of the Summer Session is issued in April of each year, and may be obtained by addressing the Dean of the Summer Sessions, Berkeley, California.

In addition to the sessions at the University in Berkeley, a summer session is conducted at the Southern Branch of the University in Los Angeles.
