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. degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy are offered to students who have fulfilled the required conditions. (See Announcement of the Graduate Division.) 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. BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHARMACOLOGY T. BRAILSFORD ROBERTSON, Ph.D., Sc.D., Professor of Biochemistry. For science and general students the prerequisites for the study of biochemistry are as follows: matriculation physics and chemistry, Chemistry 1A-1B, 8A-8B and 9. No zoology, botany, histology, anatomy or physiology is required, but a student who has 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: 101, 102, 110, 111, 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. Courses 101 and 102 are required. 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 student 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 and physiological journals and the more important monographs on biochemical and related subjects. 101 M.
