The Frank M. Pixley Scholarship was founded by Mrs. Amelia V. R. Pixley, who bequeathed to the University $3,563.22 as an endowment to be administered by the Regents of the University of California. It was the desire of the donor that the income from this fund should be used for the maintenance of some student in law. It is estimated that for 1908-09 the income of the endowment will be $200.

The Adolph Knopf Scholarship of $250 will be awarded in 1908-09. It is established by the gift of Mr. Adolph Knopf, B.S., 1904, who was the Goewey scholar for 1904-05. It will be awarded as a graduate scholarship.

Applications for Scholarships. Applications for all scholarships, graduate and undergraduate, except where otherwise specified, should be filed with the Recorder of the Faculties, for the consideration of the Committee on Scholarships, on or before the fifteenth day of April preceding the academic year for which the scholarships are desired. Awards will be announced on Commencement Day, if possible, and notice thereof will be sent by mail to each applicant. Payments are made at the office of the Secretary of the Board of Regents, in California Hall, in ten monthly installments, beginning September 10th. A circular containing further information, and a blank form of application, may be obtained from the Recorder of the Faculties. Copies of these documents will be mailed to any address, upon request.

SPECIAL LECTURESHIPS.

The Barbara Weinstock Lectureship on the Morals of Trade was created by Mr. Harris Weinstock of Sacramento on May 14, 1902, with an endowment of $5,000. The purpose of the lectureship was stated by the founder to be the education of young men "to the belief that success in business is more profitable and more lasting if conducted upon a high ethical plane, and that true success lies in developing character, rather than in heaping up gold." The Lecture does not form a part of the regular courses of instruction.

The Charles M. Hitchcock Endowment Fund of $10,000 was established by Mr. Hitchcock as an endowment for "a professorship in the University of California for free lectures upon scientific and practical subjects, but not for the advantage of any religious sect, nor upon political subjects." The first appointment under this endowment is Julius Stieglitz, Ph.D., Professor of Chemistry in the University of Chicago.

TEACHERS' CERTIFICATES.

33. The respective faculties will issue to present and past graduate students of the University, who shall have complied with the rules of the State Board of Education, recommendations for High School Certificates.

[The rules of the California State Board of Education for the granting of high school certificates by County, and City and County Boards of Education are as follows:

1. High school certificates may be issued under the provisions of section 1521, subdivision 2 (a) and section 1775, subdivision 1 (a), of the Political Code of California, as follows:

(a) To candidates who have received the Bachelor's degree from a college requiring not less than eight years of high school and college training, and who submit evidence that in addition to the courses required for the Bachelor's degree they have successfully completed at least one year of graduate study in a university belonging to the Association of American Universities (see Regulation 1); which year of graduate study shall include one half-year of advanced academic study (part of the time, at least, being devoted to one or more of the subjects taught in the high school), and such other time in a well equipped training school of secondary grade directed by the Department of Education of any one of the universities of the Association, as may be necessary to fulfill the pedagogical requirements prescribed by this Board.

(b) To candidates who have received the Bachelor's degree from a college requiring not less than eight years of high school and college training, and who submit evidence that in addition to the courses required for the Bachelor's degree they have successfully completed at least one half-year of graduate study in a university belonging to the Association of American Universities; which halfyear of graduate study shall consist of advanced academic study (part of the time, at least, being devoted to one or more of the subjects taught in the high school); and six months as student teachers in a well equipped school of secondary grade directed by a California State Normal, or its recognized equivalent, under con

ditions conforming to the requirements prescribed by this Board as the minimum amount of pedagogy.

2. In lieu of the pedagogical training above prescribed, candidates may submit evidence showing that they are graduates of a California State normal school, or other normal school officially recognized by this Board as of equivalent rank, or have taught with decided success as regular teachers or as principals at least twenty months in any reputable school, elementary or secondary; and provided that until July, 1908, the practical teaching prescribed may have been pursued in schools of grammar or secondary grade in connection with a California State normal school, or under the direction of the Department of Education of the University of California or of Leland Stanford Junior University, as evidenced by a certificate of proficiency.

3. The institution granting the Bachelor's degree, the institution in which the post-graduate academic study is pursued, and the institution in which the pedagogical work is done, shall each certify to the high character of the work accomplished under its direction, and to the personal fitness of the candidate.

4. The above and foregoing rules shall take effect and be in force from and after August 1, 1906.]

NOTE. By the expression "advanced academic study" in the Rules of the State Board, a course of study which shall include at least one course primarily for graduates is understood. Such course is not restricted to those taken in the special subject that the candidate intends to teach. Further requirements for the recommendation by the Faculties of the University of California are:

(a) Special Knowledge. Twenty units, normally, in the subject or group of closely allied subjects that the candidate expects to teach; the ultimate decision as to the candidate's proficiency resting with the heads of the departments concerned. [In some departments more than twenty units are necessary.]

(b) Professional Knowledge. Twelve units in the department of Education. This requirement does not apply to graduates of California State Normal Schools.

The Faculty will issue teacher's recommendations in minor subjects, as well as in the major subject or subjects. For the minor recommendation the student is required to have had at least six units of satisfactory work in courses designated as major courses in the Upper Division. In addition, the candidate will be expected to satisfy the faculty of his general fitness for the work proposed.

34. The respective Faculties will issue to holders of the Master's degree of this University, a Higher Recommendation for the Teacher's Certificate. Candidates for this Recommendation must satisfy either the one or the other of two schedules of requirements: (1) a schedule intended especially for those preparing to become teachers in normal schools, or principals or superintendents of public schools, or (2) a schedule intended especially for those preparing to become department teachers in secondary schools. The work will usually require more than one year of study in the graduate department. The Recommendation will be limited to students who have given evidence of superior attainments in the practice of teaching; this requirement will ordinarily be met by teaching with marked success for a period of at least two years after all other requirements have been satisfied, or between the beginning and the completion of the graduate work offered in satisfaction of those requirements.

More detailed information regarding the higher course of professional preparation for teachers may be obtained from the Recorder of the Faculties.

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION.

The Department of University Extension was organized during the year 1902-03 to carry on, as the work of a separate department of the University, extension courses in different parts of the State of California. Courses of University Extension lectures, with classes for study in connection with the lectures, are given wherever University Extension Centers may be organized, and the control and selection of these courses is left entirely to the committees of the various local centers. Each course consists of twelve lectures delivered at fortnightly intervals on days and in places chosen by the local committees, and University credit is given for work done in the University Extension classes after regular examinations. University Extension Traveling Libraries, containing several copies of the books needed for study in connection with the lectures and classes are sent to the local centers, and for courses in which they are needed, lantern slides and other illustrative material are also supplied. It is the function of the Department of University Extension at the University to aid in the formation of centers and to supply lecturers, not necessarily members of the instructing staff of the University, to meet the requirements of these local centers. Particulars with regard to the cost of University Extension courses, the manner of organizing local centers, the aims and scope of extension work, and the credit towards a University degree to be obtained by doing the work laid out for Extension classes, can be found in the circular on University Extension, which will be sent on application to the Secretary of University Extension, University of California, Berkeley. Syllabuses of the courses at present offered by the Department can also be obtained upon application.

During the year 1907-08 eleven University Extension courses were successfully maintained, and in each of these eleven Centers a University Extension course of lectures was delivered. One course on "The History of the French Revolution" at San Diego and one course on "The Reign of Queen Elizabeth" at San Francisco were given by H. Morse Stephens, Professor of History at the University and Director of University Extension; one course on "The History of Charity and the Care of the Poor' at San
