Elective with Construction, or Physical Measurement (above). The course concludes with a written thesis on some subject connected with mining or metallurgy, and leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science. Special Students. Students of mature years having the necessary preparation to follow such courses with advantage, may concentrate their entire attention on mining, metallurgy, or assaying, with the subjects directly related. To derive any real benefit from such courses, the student should be prepared to carry on the work for at least one year, and if possible two or more. Such students should be prepared to enter at the beginning of the academic year, as all the courses begin at that time, and it would be usually impossible to enter later without being at a disadvantage. The regular undergraduate course is advised in all cases in preference to any other. Where through lack of time this is impossible, the special course should approximate it as much as possible. GRADUATE COURSES. Students desiring to pursue advanced or special work after graduation, will be afforded every facility that the libraries, laboratories, and collections of the University offer. Candidates for the professional degrees in this College must satisfy the following conditions: To obtain the degree of MINING ENGINEER, the candidate must be a graduate of the College of Mining of this University, or give evidence satisfactory to its Faculty of having successfully pursued a course of study equivalent to its regular undergraduate course. He must also pass a satisfactory examination in the following subjects: Mining, ore dressing, petrography, economic geology, thermodynamics (elements), drawing and construction of mining machinery, blowpipe assaying, and political economy. He must have had at least one year of actual practice in the field in the course chosen, and must show, by an original memoir upon some subject bearing upon this profession, his power to apply his knowledge to practice. This degree will not be given earlier than three years after graduation. A candidate for the degree of METALLURGICAL ENGINEER must pass an examination in the following subjects: Metallurgy, ore dressing, assaying and analysis, blowpipe assaying, thermodynamics (elements), drawing and construction of furnaces and metallurgical machinery, and political economy. In all other respects the conditions are the same as those required for the degree of Mining Engineer. For Students in the College of Mining, see Catalogue of Students, and Summary of Students. COLLEGE OF CIVIL ENGINEERING. FACULTY. The Faculty of each College consists of the President of the University and the resident Professors, Associate Professors, and Assistant Professors giving instruction in the College.

THE UNDERGRADUATE COURSE. The requirements for admission are given on page 35. The work in the first two years of the undergraduate course is designed to furnish a thorough training in the fundamental principles of the mathematical and modern physical sciences and in English, and to afford the student the opportunity to acquire a reading knowledge of French or German. The work in the third and fourth years of the course is devoted mainly to the special engineering subjects, surveying, field practice with all the instruments in common use, strength of materials, engineering, structures, and astronomy. For details concerning the subject-matter and methods of instruction in these special branches, see pages 69–71. A valuable collection of surveying instruments, including rods, steel tapes, chains, hand and Y levels, theodolites, transits, solar and surveyors' compasses, plane tables, etc., is in the possession of the department. There is an excellent assortment of models in wood of the various bonds of masonry, and of different walls, arches, gateways; of joints and fastenings in carpentry; and of bridge and roof trusses. Diagrams of various European and American engineering structures, and the hypsometrical and surveying apparatus formerly belonging to the California Geological Survey, are in the collection. The following outline indicates briefly the scope of the four years' course. Further details concerning the subjects mentioned will be found in the descriptions of the several courses of instruction, beginning on page 40. English (two terms), 2, 3. Outline of Studies.

FACULTY. The Faculty of each College consists of the President of the University and the resident Professors, Associate Professors, and Assistant Professors giving instruction in the College. Professor KELLOGG, PRESIDENT pro tempore; Professor STRINGHAM, DEAN; Professors CHRISTY, GAYLEY, GREENE, HILGARD, LE CONTE, MOSES, PUTZKER, RANDOLPH, RISING, SLATE; Associate Professors EDWARDS, LAWSON, PAGET; Assistant Professors HASKELL, KOWER, LANGE, O'NEILL, SENGER, WHITING. SCOPE OF INSTRUCTION. The course of instruction in the College of Chemistry is designed for those who wish to become professional chemists, either as teachers and investigators, or as analytical chemists or manufacturers in chemical industries; and also for those who wish a thorough grounding in the science of chemistry, both theoretical and practical, as a preparation for the future study and practice of medicine, pharmacy, metallurgy, etc. While chemistry is the prominent study of the College, the course offers at the same time an opportunity to pursue a somewhat extended range of studies in all the sciences, and such a selection of elective studies may be made as to meet the special needs of several classes of students. UNDERGRADUATE COURSES. The requirements for admission are stated on page 35. The following courses may be mentioned as included in this College, each of which will usually require four years for its completion. It is suggested that students consult the professor in charge before making their selection: 1. General Science Courses. These courses may be made to include any of the sciences taught in the University. In addition to physics, chemistry, mineralogy, botany, zoology, and geology, which are required in the courses, the students should select agricultural and physiological chemistry, astronomy, and systematic botany. Or, in the place of some of the sciences, literary subjects may be substituted, making up a course in science and letters. 2. Chemico-Metallurgical Course. This course is suggested for those who wish a broader and more extended knowledge of chemistry than is offered in the regular undergraduate course in the College of Mining. In addition to the |
