correspond with the Professor of Agriculture with regard to the needful preparation for the subjects they desire to take. To students unable to give more than two years to their studies, the following course is suggested: Agricultural Elective (including Botany and Entomology) 6 units. 6 units. Totals 6 units. 6 units. 15 units. 15 units. Opportunities Afforded by the Experiment Stations. The peculiar conditions of California with regard to soil, climate, and situation, have rendered useless for farmers here much of the experience of older regions, and have made imperative a new study of the bearing of these conditions upon the agriculture of the State and of the Pacific Slope. The College of Agriculture has for fifteen years conducted an experiment station, where questions of this nature have been investigated and determined, and where data for a full knowledge and description of the agricultural features of the State are collected and organized. In recent years, aid from the Government of the United States has greatly extended the scope of such investigation by the establishment of outlying culture-stations, and by making possible a more comprehensive plan of experimentation in the central station at Berkeley. Here the results of work at all the outlying stations are elaborated, discussed, and published in the form of occasional bulletins or of annual reports. Advanced students have the opportunity of taking such part in this work as their qualifications permit. For a description of the Experiment Stations and the Agricultural Laboratories, see pages 147-148. COLLEGE OF MECHANICS. FACULTY.

UNDERGRADUATE COURSE. The requirements for admission to this college are: (1) English, (3) Algebra, (4) Geometry, (5) Government of the United States, (11) Physics; either (6) Latin or (14) English or (15) French or German; and, until May, 1897, one of the subdivisions of (12)—for which see page 43. But beginning with May, 1897, two of the subdivisions of (12) will be required; namely, (a) Solid and Spherical Geometry, and (b) Chemistry. The requirements for graduation from this college, with the degree of B.S., are set forth in the following scheme:* Freshman Year. 1st Term. 2d Term. MATHEMATICS-Elements of Analysis 5 units. 5 units. PHYзICS-Elementary Course: Lectures and Laboratory.. Laboratory Experiments and Qualitative DRAWING Free-hand and Instrumental, and Descriptive Geometry. MILITARY SCIENCE-Two exercises each week. ing.. SURVEYING-Lectures, with Field Practice and Mapping. Totals 15 units. 15 units. *In the scheme as here tabulated, alternative electives are indicated by means of parentheses. Junior Year. MATHEMATICS-Differential Equations... METALLURGY-Structural Metals and Fuels. PHYSICS-Electrical Measurements CIVIL ENGINEERING-Strength of Materials. DRAWING-Graphical Statics and Mechanical Drawing.. Totals Senior Year. MILITARY SCIENCE-Theoretical Course THESIS-Upon some subject in Mechanical Engineering-- Mechanical Laboratory. I. General Physical Laboratory. II. Electri cal... Totals Drawing-Construction. Elective Laboratory Electrical Engineering-Lectures. The Mechanical Laboratories are designed to offer facilities for tests and experimental inquiry, such as (1) submitting to actual test, and verifying directly, principles developed in the lecture-room; (2) building and testing machines designed by the students; (3) investigating such subjects and engineering problems as are not only calculated to impart training in methods of investigation, but the results of which may prove of value to the engineering public at large; (4) ascertaining the character and proper treatment of materials, and acquiring familiarity with the appliances and processes necessary to the construction of designs. Opportunity is afforded the student to acquire skill, under the instruction of an able mechanician, in the working of metals by hand and machine tools; in wood-turning, planing, and carpentry; in molding and pattern-making; in forging and tempering tools. These processes are well illustrated in the construction of machines for experimental work. After the student has become sufficiently acquainted with these processes, and is able to recognize differences in appliances and methods, visits of inspection are made to manufacturing establishments in San Francisco and vicinity, in order to give him familiarity with mechanical operations on a large scale. For a description of the Mechanical Laboratories, the reader is referred to page 142. GRADUATE COURSE. The libraries, laboratories, and collections of the University are at the service of students desiring to pursue advanced or special work after graduation. A candidate for the professional degree of MECHANICAL ENGINEER must be a graduate of the College of Mechanics of this University, or he must give evidence satisfactory to its Faculty of having successfully completed an amount of work equivalent to that of its regular undergraduate course; and he must pass a satisfactory examination in the following studies: Thermodynamics, construction of hydraulic motors and heat engines, dynamo-electric machinery, machine construction, general machine design. He must also have engaged for at least one year in professional work in addition to the time spent in the graduate course; and he must present an acceptable original memoir on some professional subject. This degree will not be given earlier than three years after graduation. COLLEGE OF MINING. FACULTY. President KELLOGG; Professor STRINGHAM, Mathematics, Dean; Professors CHRISTY, Mining and Metallurgy; HESSE, Mechanical Engineering; LE CONTE, Geology; RISING, Chemistry; SLATE, Physics; SOULE, Civil Engineering; WINN, Military Science; Associate Professors ARDLEY, Free-hand Drawing; EDWARDS, Mathematics; HASKELL, Mathematics; LAWSON, Geology and Mineralogy; WHITING, Physics; Assistant Professor KowER, Mechanical Drawing. The College of Mining is designed for students who wish to become mining or metallurgical engineers, or to engage in one of the many pursuits connected with the mining industry, such as the surveying and mapping of mines, the assaying and working of ores, the designing and use of mining machinery, or the exploitation of mines. UNDERGRADUATE COURSE. The requirements for admission to this college are: (1) English, (3) Algebra, (4) Geometry, (5) Government of the United States, (11) Physics; either (6) Latin, or (14) English, or (15) French or German; and, until May, 1897, one of the subdivisions of (12)-for which see page 43. But beginning with May, 1897, two of the subdivisions of (12) will be required; namely, (a) Solid and Spherical Geometry, and (b) Chemistry. In accordance with the recent reorganization of the engineering curricula, the studies not absolutely essential to the efficiency of the Mining Engineer are eliminated from the course, and the remaining studies are rearranged with a view to concentration and ̧ closer interdependence. The number of independent lines of study carried on at the same time is limited as nearly as possibly to three. The intimate relation of practical application to theory is constantly impressed upon the student; all subjects of study are, from the beginning, illustrated and applied by exercises in the laboratory, the drawingroom, and the field; and the summer schools of surveying and practical mining held during the University vacation are organized for the purpose of affording the student a more extended application of his knowledge, and an introduction to the practical work which he must undertake after graduation. As in the other engineering colleges, the student may, in addition to the minimum course of study prescribed, elect four units per term from any courses given in the University. He is in general advised to choose these Free Electives from the literary courses, such as English, French, German, or Spanish, History or Political Economy. But he may follow out special lines, if he desires, in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Mineralogy, Petrography, Mechanics, Surveying, Electricity, Mining, or Metallurgy. The course is as follows: Freshman Year. 1st Term. 2d Term. MATHEMATICS-Elements of Analysis.... PHYSICS-Elementary Course: Lectures and Laboratory. Laboratory Experiments and Qualitative DRAWING-Free-hand and Instrumental, and Descriptive Geometry... CHEMISTRY-Quantitative Analysis: Laboratory 3 units. 3 units. 3 units. 3 units. 2 units. 2 units. 3 units. 1 unit. 1 unit. SURVEYING-Lectures, with Field Practice and Mapping. 3 units.
