June 20 to July 30

Sessions of 1921

The annual Summer Session of the University of California will begin Monday, June 20, 1921, and will continue until Saturday, July 30, the session covering six weeks. During the same period the University will conduct a Summer Session in Los Angeles. A special bulletin describes the courses offered.

In 1921 the Summer Session will be preceded, in Berkeley, by an Intersession covering the period of six weeks from May 9 to June 18.

Earlier Sessions

The University of California held its first regular Summer Session in 1900, though summer courses in several departments had been given during the years 1891-99. In the summer of 1920 the total enrollment of the Intersession was 1005, and of the Summer Session, not including the Summer School of Surveying, was 4009; 2044 were teachers. In the Summer Session there were represented forty-four states of the United States and twenty-one foreign countries. In the Summer Session in Los Angeles the enrollment was 1427.

Purpose of the Sessions

The courses in the Summer Session are designed to meet the needs of the following persons:

1. Teachers who wish to increase their professional skill, to revise and extend their knowledge of a chosen field, or to qualify in new subjects, preparing to meet the special demand for instruction in Americanization, commercial subjects, biology, physics, chemistry, general science, physical education, manual arts, and vocational agriculture. (With state and federal aid, under the Smith-Hughes Act, special Summer Session courses are offered at the Chaffey Union High School for those preparing to teach vocational agriculture and the supplemental vocational subjects in California high schools.)

Teachers who desire to be prepared for service in vocational schools and classes maintained under the provisions of the State and Federal Vocational Education acts, and the recent State Compulsory Part-Time Education Act, which became effective with the beginning of the school year 1920. The courses designed primarily for this purpose are listed on page 131 of this bulletin.

2. School superintendents, supervisors, and other officers. Supervisors of agricultural education, drawing and art, commercial subjects, music, physical education, and home economics will find work especially suited to their needs.

3. Graduate students, to whom the advantages of smaller classes and the more direct and intimate personal contact with the professors in charge of the courses offered are peculiarly possible during the Summer Session. 4. Undergraduate students, and especially those registered in the fall or spring sessions of the University, may use a portion of the vacation to take up studies for which they are unable to find room in their regular programmes, or to make up deficiencies, or to shorten their courses.

5. Properly recommended high school graduates who are about to enter upon regular university courses and who desire to broaden their preparation for university work. To meet their needs courses are offered in chemistry, commerce, drawing, French, German, graphic art, Greek, home economics, Italian, mathematics, physics, and Spanish.

6. House wives, graduate nurses, social workers, Americanization workers, students of public health, and all adults who are qualified to pursue with profit any course given, whether or not they are engaged in teaching or study.

The courses in the Intersession are designed primarily to meet the needs of students attending, or about to attend, the courses of the fall or spring sessions.

1. Lower Division students will find opportunity to enroll in a number of courses prerequisite to advanced study from which they were excluded in the present year because of the over-crowding of the University.

2. Upper Division students in the larger departments will find opportunity to continue their work in smaller classes.

3. Graduate students will find opportunity to enroll in major Upper Division courses and in seminars which are to be continued during the Summer Session.

In general, by combining the Intersession and the Summer Session, it will be possible for students to obtain, in a single summer, credit for one semester's residence and for twelve units of work, thus reducing by six months the time required for completion of work for a degree. Between the closing of the Summer Session and the opening of the fall semester there remains an interval of two weeks for vacation purposes. Faculty

The faculty of the Summer Session will include not only members of the regular faculties of the University but also a number of men of letters and science from Eastern universities.

The faculty of the Intersession will consist almost wholly of members of the regular faculties of the University.

Applications for Admission

All persons who desire to attend any of the courses of the Summer Session are urgently requested to notify the Recorder of the Faculties on or before Wednesday, June 1, using the blank form of application at the end of this bulletin.

All persons who desire to attend any of the Intersession courses are urgently requested to notify the Recorder of the Faculties on or before Wednesday, April 20, using the blank form of application at the end of this bulletin.

Compliance with this request will facilitate the making of adequate arrangements by the University, and will make possible prompt communieation with prospective students in case of change in the programme.

Admission Requirements

Attendants upon the exercises of the Summer Session and Intersession are divided into two broad classes:

A. Auditors.—Any adult of good moral character is permitted to attend all the regular exercises of either of the sessions, as an auditor, upon the filing of an application and the payment of the regular tuition fee of $20. An auditor does not participate in recitations, does not take examinations, and hence does not receive credit.

B. Students. While there are no formal admission requirements and no entrance examinations, the officers in charge of admissions will keep in mind the fact that the instruction offered is such as is suitable for students of university grade, and these officers will exercise their discretion in admitting to student privileges only those applicants who appear to possess the requisite maturity, training, and intelligence. Furthermore, the instructor in charge of a given course may himself require of those who present themselves as students in this course any preliminary test, formal or informal, which he may deem essential to the work proposed.

The University will not, as a rule, admit to the Summer Session or Intersession pupils from the high schools who have not yet completed the four-year high school course. Where an exception is made to this general rule, the pupil will be required to devote himself to courses given primarily or exclusively for matriculation credit, such as the "A" or "B" courses in chemistry, physics, mathematics, drawing, and the languages. And in every such exceptional case the applicant will be required to procure from the principal of his school and to present at the University a special testimonal as evidence of superior scholarship and of unusual fitness for the work proposed. A blank form of testimonial for the principal's use may be obtained from the Recorder of the Faculties. Only by special

arrangement made in advance may Summer Session or Intersession courses other than the "lettered courses" be applied toward matriculation.

Registration Dates

The office of the Recorder of the Faculties will be open for the registration of Summer Session students Saturday, June 18, and Monday, June 20; and for the registration of Intersession students Saturday, May 7, and Monday, May 9. For detailed directions as to entrance see later pages in this bulletin.

With the approval of the Dean, teachers whose regular employment makes it impossible for them to register in the Intersession or the Summer Session on the first day (Monday) may register as late as the second Monday; but such students may enroll in the courses desired only when in the opinion of the instructor they have satisfactorily covered the ground of the first week's work.

Fees

The tuition fee, regardless of the number of courses taken, will be twenty dollars ($20) for the Summer Session and twenty dollars ($20) for the Intersession; forty dollars ($40) for both. Laboratory fees will be charged in courses in agriculture, botany, chemistry, civil engineering, home economics, mechanical engineering, office practice, physics, public health, and zoology. The fees in each case are stated in the description of the course.

Persons who desire to attend courses or occasional lectures without examination or formal credit may secure for this purpose an auditor's ticket upon payment of the regular fee, $20 for the Summer Session or $20 for the Intersession.

All fees must be paid in advance, at the opening of the Summer Session or of the Intersession, at the office of the Comptroller, in California Hall. No deduction will be made from fees in cases of late registration. After the first week no rebate will be allowed for early withdrawal. No application for refund will be considered unless it is made at the time of withdrawal.

Special Summer Session scholarships, equivalent in value to the Summer Session fee, will be granted by the California State Board of Education to prospective or to qualified teachers of vocational agriculture in California high schools. Such scholarships are good only for the special teachertraining courses at the Summer Session conducted at the Chaffey Junior College of Agriculture at Ontario. Application for scholarships should be made in advance to the State Supervisor of Agricultural Education, State Department of Education, Sacramento, California.

Classification and Numbering of Courses

CLASSIFICATION

I. Undergraduate courses.

1. Lower Division courses.

2. Upper Division courses.

An upper division course is an upper division course of advanced work in a department of study that has been pursued in the lower division, or of elementary work in a subject of such difficulty as to require the maturity of upper division students. All upper division courses are definitely announced as such, and are given numbers 100-199, as explained below. II. Graduate courses.

NUMBERING

66

Undergraduate courses are designated either by letters, without numbers, or by numbers. The lettered courses,' e.g., Mathematics A, French A, are equivalents, or nearly so, of subjects in the University preparatory list; they represent subjects of study which may be pursued either in the high school or the University. All other undergraduate courses, excepting only the upper division courses, are numbered from 1 to 99 inclusive.

All Summer Session and Intersession courses, graduate or undergraduate, which are identical, or nearly so, with courses given during the fall or spring sessions, are distinguished by the letter "S'' prefixed to the regular number of the course.

Undergraduate upper division courses are numbered from 100 to 199

inclusive.

Graduate courses are numbered from 200 to 299 inclusive.

Teachers' courses are numbered 300, 301, etc. Such courses may be classified either as upper division courses or as graduate courses; if offered for the master's degree, however, such courses are rated as upper division courses, not as graduate courses.

In each department where Intersession courses are given they are listed separately from the Summer Session courses.

Credit

Credit toward a university degree will be given only to attendants who are qualified to do systematic university work, and is in every case subject to the requirement that the student shall at some time qualify in the University as a regular matriculant, either by passing the entrance examination or otherwise. In the absence of formal entrance requirements, the instructor in charge of a given course in the Summer Session or Intersession is the judge of the qualifications of candidates for credit.
