about and in the same year the Regents of the University agreed to take over the Hahnemann Medical College of the Pacific and to include elec tives in Homeopathy in the curriculum of the Medical School. In 1916 Biochemistry was separated from Physiology and a department of Biochemistry and Pharmacology established. In 1917 the new University Hospital building was completed and occupied. In 1919 a Nurses' Home, in connection with the University Hospital, was completed. In 1920 an agreement of affiliation between this school and St. Luke's Hospital was consummated. Under its terms the opportunities offered by St. Luke's Hospital and its allied clinics are open to students of this school. This year the Department of Bacteriology and Pathology was divided into two separate departments. In March, 1921, the Regents reaffirmed their decision to consolidate all departments of the school in San Francisco as soon as possible. The Regents have adopted a plan for the future development of the school. This plan contemplates new buildings to house the departments of Anatomy and Pathology, Physiology and Biochemistry, the erection of an out-patient building, and the adaptation of existing buildings for purposes of administration, students' quarters, laboratories, and library space. THE GEORGE WILLIAMS HOOPER FOUNDATION FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH In memory of her husband, George Williams Hooper, a pioneer citizen of San Francisco, Mrs. Hooper, on Commencement Day, May 14, 1913, transferred to the Regents of the University certain valuable property to serve as a foundation for an institute of medical research. The formal opening of the Foundation was celebrated on March 7, 1914. Addresses were delivered by Dr. Henry S. Pritchett, President of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching; Dr. Richard M. Pearce, Professor of Research Medicine, University of Pennsylvania; and Hon. Curtis H. Lindley. The policy and work of the Foundation is determined by an advisory board of nine members conferring with the Regents of the University. The building formerly occupied by the Veterinary School has been devoted by the Regents of the University to the work of the Foundation. The work of the Hooper Foundation, therefore, is closely correlated with that of the Medical School. Workers in the Research Laboratory have free access to the University Hospital wards and positions in the Hooper Foundation will be available for candidates in the Medical School who desire to do advanced work in laboratory or border line research. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION* A preliminary collegiate preparation is required for the course in medicine, and men and women are admitted on the same terms. As candidates for the degree of Doctor of Medicine the school receives the following: 1. Graduates of approved colleges or scientific schools who present evidence of a satisfactory training in chemistry, physics, zoology, English composition and literature and a reading knowledge of German or French.† 2. Students in the College of Letters and Science of this University who have attained senior standing may, at the beginning of their fourth or senior year in the University, register as students in the Medical School, and upon completion of the first year in the Medical School may receive the bachelor's degree in the College of Letters and Science.‡ Such students must also furnish evidence that they have had a satisfactory training in chemistry, physics, zoology, English composition and literature and that they possess a reading knowledge of German or French.† 3. Students who have satisfactorily completed at least two full years of collegiate work in this University, or its equivalent in an approved university or college.§ The studies pursued during the two years include English, American history and civics, mathematics, chemistry, biology (zoology), physics, and German or French. Applicants for admission to the Medical School who have pursued their pre-medical studies in some other university must submit credentials from the institution in which they have studied. This statement should include the number of hours devoted to classroom and laboratory work and also the grade received in each subject. For the guidance of those who wish to arrange their preliminary training the following courses given in this University present the minimum of satisfactory preparation in the subjects named (numbers refer to the Announcement of Courses for 1921-22); Chemistry 1A-1B, 8, 9; Physics 2A-2B, and 3A-3B; Zoology 1A-1в; English 1A-1B; French or German, 10 units. All inquiries should be addressed to the Executive Secretary of the University of California Medical School. All subjects must be satisfied in full before matriculation. The courses in chemistry must include inorganic and organic chemistry. For requirements for bachelor's degree, see announcement of College of Letters and Science. Students who desire to matriculate in the Medical School in and after August, 1922, must have satisfactorily completed at least THREE full years of collegiate work. In preparation for these studies it may be mentioned that high school physics and chemistry are necessary for enrollment in the beginning university courses in the same subjects. Candidates for the bachelor's degree have the privilege of broad election from the various departments of the University, and they are advised to make their selection from subjects not related to the specific requirements. The faculty of the Medical School is authorized to refuse admission to students who have a low academic record. ADMISSION TO ADVANCED STANDING Applicants for admission to advanced standing may become candidates for the degree of M.D. under the following conditions: (1) They must furnish evidence that they were eligible for admission to the first year of this school. (2) They must show that courses equivalent in kind and amount to those given in this school in the year or years preceding that to which admission is desired have been satisfactorily completed in an acceptable medical school.* Students taking work at a college with a lower classification will not be granted credit. (3) At the discretion of the Dean, they must be prepared to pass examinations in those subjects for which they ask credit. INSTRUCTION FOR GRADUATES IN MEDICINE Graduates in medicine may arrange with the heads of the different departments for special work. Graduate students may enter at any time during the year and must register at the Dean's office before beginning work. Except under extraordinary circumstances and at the discretion of the Advisory Board of the Medical Faculty, persons who have already received the degree of Doctor of Medicine will not be admitted as candidates for that degree from this University. CLASS STANDING AND EXAMINATION The judgment of an instructor upon the work of a student may be determined by (a) personal contact and observation of routine work, (b) by oral, written or practical examination, (c) by a combination of these methods. It is optional with each department whether students are examined at the end of each course or examined when the work of a department is completed. * By an acceptable medical school is meant one classified as "A" by the American Medical Association, and whose entrance requirements are equiva lent to those of this School. |
