muffle furnace and one for crucible assays, a water-blast blowpipe, and a distillation apparatus; a fourth, a special balance-room, contains the finest Oertling and Becker assay balances. Besides the above, the laboratory is supplied with a very complete equipment for measuring high temperatures, such as an air thermometer, a Fisher calorimeter-pyrometer, and a Siemens electric pyrometer; also, the Orsat, Bunte & Fisher apparatus for analysis of furnace gases. All the appliances are of the most approved pattern. The only charges to the students are for materials actually used.

The Metallurgical Laboratory is designed to contain a complete experimental plant for sampling, concentrating, milling, roasting, and leaching the gold and silver ores of California. It contains a fifteen horse-power Babcock & Wilcox boiler, a fifteen horse-power Westinghouse engine, a ten horse-power transmitting dynamometer, a six-by-four Dodge crusher, a Krom fine crusher, a pair of 16-inch Krom steel rolls, a 6-inch Sturtevant pulverizer, a California stamp battery of three 500-pound stamps; set of shaking screens, a Krom airjig, two Harz ore-jigs, a set of Spitzkasten and Spitzlutten; a Frue vanner with side and end shake; amalgamating pans, settlers, a reverberatory roasting furnace, and leaching tubs.

Students who take the Mining course have excellent opportunities for acquiring practical familiarity with the best methods now in use. Actual working tests will be conducted by the students themselves with parcels of ore which will be assigned to them for that purpose.

The Agricultural and Viticultural Laboratories and lecture-rooms are located in the Experiment-Station Building. This building contains also the laboratory and office of the Professor of Agriculture, who is at the same time director of the experiment stations.

The Agricultural Laboratory is devoted primarily to the prosecution of chemical and physical researches in relation to general agriculture; such as the mechanical and chemical examination of soils, waters, agricultural products, natural and commercial fertilizers, etc., and the determination of technical questions relating to agricultural processes or manufactures. The results of this work are reported to the persons interested; so far as they are of general interest, they are published, currently, in the form of bulletins; ultimately, in the form of annual reports.

In order to supply the demand for special instruction in the analysis and investigation of agricultural materials and products, desk room in the laboratories for ten advanced and special students has been provided.

The Viticultural Laboratory (the only one of its kind in the United States) is intended not only for the analysis of musts and wines, but also for the experimental production of wines on a small scale. The outfit for the latter purpose occupies the basement and three cellar-rooms of the Experiment-Station Building. Wines are here made experimentally, for the purpose of testing the peculiarities of different grape varieties, or differences caused by the various soils and localities, so as to place the mutual adaptation of vines, soils and localities upon a definite basis as quickly as possible. The various methods of fermenting and treating wines are also tested. Under the State law originally creating this laboratory, samples of wines are received for analysis or such other examination as may be necessary. Students desiring to become familiar

with such work, or with the theory and art of wine-making, are admitted to laboratory and cellar practice. This laboratory and cellar work now occupies the entire time of two assistants.

GYMNASIUM.

The Gymnasium, presented to the University by A. K. P. Harmon, is well equipped, and provides all the students with opportunities for physical exercise. It contains six shower-baths, sixteen dressing-rooms, and three hundred lockers for the use of students, each student being required to deposit fifty cents for a key to a locker.

The gymnastic exercises of the students are conducted systematically under the supervision of the department of Physical Culture. (See page 71.)

CLASSICAL COURSE.

The requirements for admission are specified on page 32.

The CLASSICAL COURSE Corresponds to the usual academic course of the leading American colleges. It is designed to furnish a liberal education, and to afford preparation for professional studies. The prescribed study of Latin and Greek forms its distinguishing feature, supplemented however by other prescribed and elective studies, as seen in the following outline of the course. For details regarding the studies pursued, consult the statements made under the several courses of instruction, beginning on page 38.

NOTE. The minimum work per week is fifteen hours; except that in the second term of the Senior year, it is fourteen. In addition, Themes are required of all students, and male students are required to take the exercises in Military Science and Physical Culture. Besides the studies prescribed, every regular student is required to take such electives as may be necessary to make up the full number of hours required per week.
