For students in the four-year technical courses in engineering and chemistry it will be prescribed, beginning August, 1911. It may be offered for matriculation in or after August, 1909.

4b. Intermediate Mathematics: Solid Geometry. (1 units.) Supplementary studies in plane geometry and the fundamental propositions of solid and spherical geometry, with problems in demonstration and in the mensuration of surfaces and solids. The ability to apply geometry to practical problems is important in this requirement.

5. History and Government of the United States. (3 units.) A knowledge of the outline of American History, and of the nature of Federal, State, and local government. This requirement represents three things: the regular use by the pupil of a text-book in history, such as Channing's Students' History of the United States, McLaughlin's History of the American Nation, or Montgomery's Students' American History, and a text-book in government such as Hinsdale's American Government, or Bryce's American Commonwealth (1-volume edition);* systematic reading of assigned references; and a note-book containing maps, concise topical outlines or summaries of the most important movements or institutions, notes on some of the reference reading, and a few carefully prepared brief papers with bibliographical notes. The emphasis in the note-book should be on accuracy and thoughtfulness rather than on quantity.

6ab1. Elementary Latin. (3 units.) So much of subjects 6a and 6b as may be done in accredited schools in one year at the rate of five periods per week. No regular examination will be given in this subject, and no Latin work in the University will be open to students who present it for matriculation.

6a. Elementary Latin, Caesar. (3 units.) This subject represents four periods a week during two years. It includes the mastery of inflexions and of the simpler principles of syntax, the acquisition of a working vocabulary of from one to two thousand words, and, above all, the power to understand in the original, from the printed page and at hearing, simple prose narrative, and to translate the same into idiomatic English. The basis of this work should equal in amount Caesar's Gallic war, books I-IV, but there may be substituted as a partial equivalent portions of the Lives

The mention of any book does not mean that the University or the Department of History recommends it.

of Cornelius Nepos, or the matter contained in the second-year books. There should be also some training in translation at sight from easy authors.

66. Latin Composition, Elementary. (3 units.) This subject represents one period a week, or its equivalent, during two years, the work of the first year being taken from the first lesson book. It includes the writing in Latin of detached and connected English sentences, and it should constitute the chief means of teaching Latin forms and syntax.

7a, 7b. Advanced Latin, Cicero and Virgil. (4 units.) This subject represents four periods a week during two years. It includes the continuation of the requirements outlined under 6a, with the addition of the study of versification, and not omitting training in reading at sight; but the emphasis in these two years should be laid upon the development of the student's power to understand Latin prose and poetry in the original, and upon the thought of the authors read, rather than upon the syntax, except in so far as the syntax is suggested by the interpretation of the thought. The basis of this work should be six orations of Cicero (7a, 2 units), and Virgil's Aeneid, books I-VI (7b, 2 units), but it is hoped that the stronger schools may increase the amount by reading other books, or other authors.

NOTE. The examinations for admission given at the University are based upon the authors named above, but accredited schools are at liberty to select other authors that are fair equivalents. An arrangement whereby part of the Cicero is postponed to follow Virgil, is approved by the department.

7c1. Latin Composition, Advanced. (1 unit.) This subject represents one period a week, or its equivalent, for one year, presumably the third of the course. It includes the writing in Latin of connected English sentences. The emphasis should be laid upon the order of words, the simpler features of sentence structure, and the means of connecting sentences in paragraphs.

7c2. Latin Composition, Advanced. (1 unit.) This subject represents one period a week, or its equivalent, for one year, presumably the fourth of the course. It may well serve as a means of reviewing Latin forms and syntax, but the prose of Caesar and Cicero should be the standard for reference.

8a. Greek Grammar and Composition. (3 units.) Greek Grammar, including accents, the ordinary inflectional forms, the simpler

rules of syntax, and the translation of easy English sentences into Attic Greek.

8b. Xenophon. (3 units.) Xenophon's Anabasis, books I-IV, with questions on the forms, syntax, and subject-matter. The translation into Attic Greek of simple passages of connected narrative based on the Anabasis. Parts I and II of Pearson's Greek Prose Composition represent the nature and amount of preparation required.

9a. Greek Composition, Advanced. (1 units.) Advanced Greek Composition [Part III of Pearson's Greek Prose Composition]. Sight Translation [fifty pages from the last three books of the Anabasis, or other Attic Greek].

96. Homer. (1 units.) Homer's Iliad, Books i-iii, with questions on Homeric forms and prosody. Students should be trained not only to write a correct metrical scheme, but also to read Homeric hexameters at sight, with fluency and expression.

It is not possible for schools to gain accrediting in both 8 and 9 with less than three years' study of Greek, except under extraordinary circumstances. The adjustment of Greek work in the University to the different classes of students is as follows:

1. Students who enter the University with credit for Matriculation Subjects 8 and 9 will be admitted to Greek 1 or 2 in Freshman year.

2. Students who offer only Matriculation Subject 8 will be admitted to Greek B, which will cover the work of Matriculation Subject 9 in one year at the rate of three exercises a week. This will prepare them to take up Greek 1 or 2 in Sophomore year.

3. Students who bring no Greek to the University, but who wish to begin the study in the University, will be admitted to Greek A, which will cover the work of Matriculation Subject 8 in one year at the rate of five exercises a week. Such students can complete Greek B in Sophomore year, and still have time for two years of strictly university Greek before graduation. But the period of life covered by the high school course is the time when the memory work involved in learning the elements of a highly inflected language, like Greek, is most easily and successfully accomplished, and students who intend to study Greek are advised to begin the subject in the high school whenever this is possible.

10. Ancient History and Geography. (3 units.) The elements of Ancient History, from the earliest times to 800 A.D.

Chief

stress should be laid upon Greek History from the fifth to the third century B.C., inclusive; upon Roman History, from the Conquest of Italy to the end of the second century A.D., and upon the geography of the ancient world. The following text-books* will indicate the amount required from those who are admitted on certificate: Goodspeed's History of the Ancient World, Botsford's Ancient History, West's Ancient History, Wolfson's Ancient History, Myer's Ancient History (new edition). From pupils presenting themselves for examination a fuller knowledge of the subject is demanded. In connection with the text-book, the pupils are expected to acquire facility in making concise, logical outlines, and to embody some of these, with a few maps, and simple evidences of collateral reading, in a note-book.

11. Physics. (3 units.) The requirement represents at least a daily exercise during one school year, which falls within the last two years of preparation for college. It is expected that the ground covered will include fair representation of primary empirical laws from each of the main subdivisions of Physics.

The results called for demand vigorous and thorough instruction in the class-room, based upon laboratory exercises by the pupils and other experimental illustrations; and it is urged that a strong effort be made to connect the principles of Physics with familiar facts and processes. In addition to the test of a written examination, it will be required that each candidate submit a laboratory note-book, signed by his teacher, as evidence that the main principles of the subject as treated have been presented experimentally. The following form of certificate is suggested as a definite statement of what is vouched for by the teacher's signature:

I hereby certify that these notes represent actual laboratory results obtained by [Insert name of pupil]. This statement applies to experiments numbered [Insert the numbers], entered upon pages [Insert the page-numbers] of this record.

Dated at

Signed,

[Teacher's name.]

19.......

It is requested that this certificate be entered upon the last page of the student's laboratory record.

12a'. Synthetic Projective Geometry. (1 units.) Harmonic and anharmonic ratios, theory of poles and polars with respect to the circle, radical axes, centers of similitude, transversals in general, perspective and projective pencils, reciprocation, involution.

* The mention of any book does not mean that the University or the Department of History recommends it.

12a. Plane Trigonometry. (1 units.) The development of the general formulae of plane trigonometry, with applications to the solution of plane triangles and the measurement of heights and distances. Practice in computation with logarithmic tables.

12a3. Plane Analytic Geometry. (1% units.) The fundamental methods of analytic geometry. The straight line and circle, and the simpler properties of the conic sections. Problems in loci. Graphical solution of equations.

[In special cases Advanced Algebra may be accepted in place of this subject.]

126. Chemistry. (3 units.) This requirement represents five exercises a week for one year. Laboratory practice is essential, and as much time as possible should be devoted to it. Much of the time should be spent in acquiring fundamental principles, omitting as much as possible the analytical work. A note-book should be kept and presented at the time of the examination in Berkeley.

12c. Botany. (3 units.) A knowledge of the morphology and simpler physiology of the higher plants is required. This should be based upon a full year of practical work in the laboratory, and to some extent, also, in the field. Careful attention should be paid to the recording of observations, by notes and drawings, together with the drawing of correct inferences from the observations. It is desirable that the pupils become familiar with the easier orders of flowering plants represented in the local flora. Setchell's Laboratory Practice for Beginners, Jepson 'e Flora of Western Middle California, Bergen's Elements of Botany, and Osterhout's Experiments with Plants, indicate both the scope and the method of the work. A note-book should be kept and presented at the time of the examination in Berkeley.

12d. Zoology. (3 units.) Preparation in this subject should aim at proficiency in solving problems rather than the mere acquisition of information. For this reason, the necessity of practical work in field and laboratory is strongly emphasized. Local conditions should determine in the main the character of the course, materials, relative proportions of field and laboratory work, etc. The text-books by Jordan and Kellogg, and Linville and Kelly, also Peabody's Laboratory Exercises and Linville and Kelly's Guide for Laboratory and Field are suggestive of scope and method. No single text-book is recommended, however; and a stereotyped course is neither demanded nor desired. Consideration will be given especially to capacity to make accurate observations, state problems
