Admission from Accredited Schools. Admission from Accredited Schools is regulated by the following Order of the Board of Regents: "Upon the request of the Principal of any public or private school in California whose course of study embraces, in kind and extent, the subjects required for admission to any College of the University at Berkeley, a committee of the Academic Senate will visit such school, and report upon the quality of the instruction there given. If the report of such committee be favorable, a graduate of the school, upon the personal recommendation of the Principal, accompanied by his certificate that the graduate has satisfactorily completed the studies of the course preparatory to the college he wishes to enter, may, at the discretion of the Faculty of such College, be admitted without examination. "All applications made in accordance with the provisions of the foregoing paragraph must be in the hands of the RECORDER OF THE FACULTIES, at Berkeley, on or before the twenty-first day of March of each year." Principals are urgently requested to send their applications on or before the first of the preceding December, in order that schools may be examined during the Christmas recess of the University. By a provision of the Academic Senate, the State Normal Schools may recommend their graduates to be admitted without examination as students in regular standing for the first year; their status, after that, to be determined in accordance with the evidence of scholarship presented in each case.

Persons holding the degree of bachelor of arts, letters, philosophy, or science, from institutions authorized by law to confer these degrees, will be admitted as graduate students in the University of California, upon presentation of their diplomas. The grade of work to which such graduate students are assigned, and their standing as candidates for the higher degrees, will depend upon the extent and character of their undergraduate course. A minimum of one year's study for the Master's degree, and three years' study for the Doctor's degree, is required of those whose undergraduate course has been substantially equivalent to the corresponding course in the University of California; a longer period of study will usually be necessary in cases where the student's preliminary training falls materially short of this standard. For the conditions under which the Master's and Doctor's degrees may be obtained, see the announcement of the Graduate Department, page 127; for the conditions under which the degrees of Mechanical Engineer, Mining Engineer, Metallurgical Engineer, and Civil Engineer may be obtained, see the close of the announcement of the College of Mechanics, the College of Mining, and the College of Civil Engineering, on pages 61, 63, and 66. RESIDENCE. Residence at the University is residence in its vicinity and attendance upon such of its exercises as are appointed for the student. In this sense, residence at Mt. Hamilton is residence at the University for such students as have been appointed to work at the Lick Observatory. EXAMINATIONS. Examinations are held at the end of each term, namely: The Mid-year Examinations in December, and the Annual Examinations in May. All Mid-year and Annual Examinations, except those set for the Senior Class, are examinations for promotion to higher status. In the aggregate they constitute the examinations for subsequent promotion to candidacy for the Bachelor's degree. The examinations at the end of the student's third, or Junior, year, including all examinations for deficiencies previously incurred, constitute the examinations for immediate promotion to Senior standing. For Seniors of not less than six months' standing, the examinations of the Senior Class constitute the entire examination for the Bachelor's degree. All other applicants for this degree will be examined, to such extent as the Faculty may in each case determine, upon the entire curriculum of study that is offered as a basis for the proposed degree. EXPENSES OF STUDENTS. Tuition in the colleges at Berkeley and at the Lick Observatory, including the use of the libraries, is free. There are, however, the following incidental expenses to be met by the student at Berkeley: Diploma Fee. Each student, on entering any of the colleges at Berkeley, is required to deposit ten dollars with the Secretary. This deposit, if the student graduates, will constitute the payment for his diploma. If he leaves the University without graduating, the money, less any unpaid fines or charges, will be returned to him on presentation of the Secretary's receipt for it. Laboratory Fees. In the laboratories a small charge is made for materials actually used. Uniform. Every member of the battalion is required to procure a uniform on entering college. For expenses of students at Mt. Hamilton, see page 152. Board and Lodging may be obtained in private families in Berkeley and Oakland at from eighteen to thirty dollars a month. They may occasionally be had in return for various personal services in the household. The hours of recitation are such that many students reside in Oakland and San Francisco. The journey from San Francisco to the University requires from an hour to an hour and a quarter. The Dining Hall, recently established within the University grounds, provides board at cost price. The Students' Aid Society is an organization which seeks to help needy students by making it possible for them to help themselves. To this end it acts as a free employment agency, putting such students in communication with persons in the University or the neighborhood who desire such services as students can render. Communications should be addressed to the MANAGER OF THE STUDENTS' AID SOCIETY, BERKELEY. A circular concerning the work of the Society is sent free to those who desire it. LOAN FUNDS. The Frank J. Walton Memorial Loan Fund, established by the graduates of the Class of 1883 in memory of a classmate, deceased. The income of this fund, amounting at present to about $125, may be loaned each year to some undergraduate student of the academic department at Berkeley who is studying for a degree, and who has completed half of his undergraduate course. Application for a loan from this fund should be addressed, through the Recorder's office, to the committee in charge of the fund. The Class of 1886 has established a Loan Fund, which may be drawn upon for the purpose of aiding undergraduate students in good standing in the Sophomore, Junior, or Senior class, students in the higher classes having precedence. Application for a loan from this fund should be addressed to the Dean of the Faculty of Letters. Friends of the University in San Francisco have contributed funds which may be drawn upon in small amounts for loans to students in cases of urgency. PRIZES, FELLOWSHIPS, AND SCHOLARSHIPS. The University Medal, by direction of its founders, is bestowed upon the most distinguished scholar of the graduating class of each year. The Early English Text Society and the New Shakespeare Society offer an Annual Prize of certain of their publications, for the encouragement of studies in English. The prize is open to all regular students, and is awarded upon written examination under the direction of the Professor of English Literature. The Le Conte Memorial Fellowship has been established by the Alumni Association of the University, in honor of Professors JOHN and JOSEPH LE CONTE. Its value is $500, and it is awarded annually by a Board of Administration elected by the Alumni Association. It is limited to graduates of the University of California of not more than three years' standing at the time of the award; the sole test is superior excellence, as determined at its discretion by the Board; and the recipient is to pursue his studies either at the University of California or elsewhere, as the Board may determine. Six University Fellowships have been established by the Regents-two in Philosophy, one in History and Political Science, and two in Mathematics, each yielding $600 annually; and one in Mineralogy, yielding $500. During 1894-5 there has been, in addition, an Honorary Fellowship in Paleontology. The appointees devote their attention to graduate study, and assist in the work of their department. Harvard Club Scholarships. The Harvard Club of San Francisco has awarded annually since 1887 a sum of not less than $200 to some graduate of the University of California, the money to be used by the recipient in the pursuit of graduate study at Harvard University. The Phebe Hearst Scholarships for Women. Eight scholarships in the University of California have been established by MRS. PHEBE A. HEARST, of San Francisco, for worthy young women, each scholarship yielding $300. The award is made by the Faculties of the University, but any school officer of this State may recommend candidates. In accordance with the express desire of the founder, the qualifications are noble character and high aims; further, the award is not to be made as a prize for honors in entrance examinations, and it is understood that without this assistance a University course would in each case be impossible. Applications for Phebe Hearst Scholarships, in order to be considered by the appropriate committee, must be filed with the Recorder on or before the first of May of the year in which the award is made. Hearst Fellowships in Astronomy. MRS. PHEBE A. HEARST has provided a fund to be used in aid of scientific work at the Lick Observatory. A portion of this fund may be set aside for the purpose of defraying a part of the necessary expenses of such advanced students as may be appointed to be Hearst Fellows in Astronomy by the Board of Regents, on the recommendation of the President of the University and of the Director of the Observatory. Such recommendation will not be made except in the case of students who have already made decided progress in their work, and candidates for the higher degrees of the University will be preferred, in general. The Hinckley Scholarship of $300 is awarded each year by the trustees of the WILLIAM AND ALICE HINCKLEY FUND to some young man in the University of the State, or in some other school. 4 |
