The unrivaled facilities for advanced astronomical work which are offered by its fine equipment, in this favorable location, are too well known to require description here. The department is open to graduate students under regulations prescribed by the Regents. The degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy are offered to students who have fulfilled the required conditions. (See Announcement of the Graduate School.) For information relating to graduate work at the Observatory intending students should address the Recorder of the Faculties at Berkeley, or the Director of the Lick Observatory, at Mount Hamilton, Santa Clara County, California. These courses form a series which the student can complete in about three years. From two to three of these courses are offered every term, the selection being based on the needs and the preparation of the graduate students in astronomy. BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHARMACOLOGY T. BRAILSFORD ROBERTSON, Ph.D., Sc.D., Professor of Biochemistry. L. A. RAY, Technician. WILLIAM G. CLEVE, Technical Assistant. For the general student who wishes to obtain some elementary information concerning the subject matter and methods of biochemistry, course 1 is offered. No prerequisite is insisted upon, but students who have not had matriculation chemistry or the equivalent thereof will find themselves at a disadvantage. This course will not be offered during 1916-17. For science and general students the prerequisites for a further study of biochemistry are as follows: matriculation physics and chemistry, Chemistry 1A-1B, 8A-8в and 9. No zoology, botany, histology, anatomy or physiology is required, but a student having a sufficient knowledge of any of these subjects may be permitted to enter the course without having completely satisfied the preliminary requirements in chemistry outlined above. For science and general students the following series of courses is offered: 1, 101, 102, 110, 210, 211. These courses may be taken in any order or separately provided the student has, in the opinion of the instructor, sufficient knowledge of related subject matter to enable him to carry on the work intelligently. Students taking courses 102 or 211 will be required to produce evidence of some preliminary training in physiology in addition to the requirements in chemistry outlined above. For the medical student the prerequisites are as prescribed for the Medical School. The following courses are required: 101, 102. The attention of intending graduate students in biochemistry is called to the fact that modern developments in this field of investigation call increasingly for a knowledge of the fundamental principles of physical chemistry, differential and integral calculus and statistical methods. The equipment of the department affords ample opportunities for research. Facilities are offered to any properly qualified person who desires to undertake a well-planned investigation in any field of biochemistry. The joint library of the department of biochemistry and physiology contains complete sets of all the important biochemical, pharmacological * Absent on leave, 1916-17. |
