118. Thesis for B.S. Degree. For the regulations governing thesis work, see the Circular of Information, Academic Departments. Candidates for B.S. may submit a thesis in metallurgy based on laboratory studies at the University, or a report on field studies carried on during vacation for not less than six weeks, at some metallurgical plant in operation. In the latter case, the work must be done under the immediate guidance of an instructor in the department, or the programme and proposed conditions of work must be approved in advance. Such field studies cannot be undertaken while the candidate is employed as a laborer or in other routine work which absorbs his time and energies. In special cases a student may, with the approval of the study lists committee, submit as a thesis, a piece of work in any department in which he is qualified to pursue advanced studies. 2 units either half-year.

Courses for Prospective Teachers. In California, many teachers in the public and private schools are expected to conduct simple musical exercises as part of their regular activity. Courses AB, 10A-10B, 17 afford preparation for such work. Teacher's Recommendation. See course 110A-110в and note. Five-hour Courses. The schedule contemplates the combination of certain two- and three-hour courses of complementary character in a fivehour series, with the following plans of enrollment: (a) 1A-10A-C, 1B-10B-D; (b) 1A-AB-C, 1в-17-D; (c) 4A-10A-C, 4B-10в (or 17-D). Courses 1A-1B and 10A-10в may be taken for credit in combination only as above unless the requirement of concurrent enrollment has already been satisfied in previous years.

No previous musical knowledge is required. 2 hrs., either half-year; 1 unit. First half-year, M F, 1; second halfyear, M F, 2. Composition Notice to all students.-Proficiency in sight-reading and dictation, both tonal and rhythmic, is of the utmost importance to everyone engaged in musical work. As an ability to read and write a language is indispensable to the student, writer or speaker in that language, so the ability to read and write the musical idiom of western Europe cannot be dispensed with by those who wish to study, write or perform modern music in America. The training and co-ordination of the eye and ear necessary in these two cases is strongly analogous and equally important. For that reason ear training (courses C, D) is included in courses AB and 10A-10B (W, 1 and 2). Credit in these subjects is not allowed apart from the above courses, but students in advanced courses may be held responsible for them by the instructor without notice. LOWER DIVISION COURSES AB. Symbols and Terminology of Musical Notation and Elementary Harmony and Counterpoint. Mr. STRICKLEN. Orthography and diction; intervals; meter; construction of scales; harmonic series and formation of chords; elements of melody writing and harmonization; ear training.
