THE UNIVERSITY RECOMMENDATION.

In addition to the technical requirements prescribed by the State Board of Education the University will require, as preliminary to any recommendation for the teacher's certificate, the completion of enough work (and of sufficiently high grade), in at least one subject, to secure a University recommendation that the candidate is fitted to teach the subject in high school classes.

[ocr errors][merged small]

The department requirements for such recommendation are, in most cases, stated in the Announcement of Courses under the department headings; but each candidate should find out definitely from the departments concerned, not later than the beginning of the Senior year, preferably earlier, the particular requirements which must be

met.

The University will issue teachers' 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.

Courses taken in fulfillment of the requirements for the high school recommendation may be credited also toward the master's degree, or vice versa, subject to the special regulations governing the degree and the recommendation respectively.

GRAMMAR GRADE CERTIFICATES.

According to section 1775 of the Political Code of California, as amended in 1909, County Boards of Education may, without examination, grant certificates of grammar grade "to holders of diplomas of graduation of the four-year course of the University of California, or Leland Stanford Junior University, when said holder of such diploma shall have had six months' training in one of the state normal schools of this State or has had eight months' successful experience in teaching in the public schools of California after graduation."'

Section 1543 of the Political Code of California, as amended in 1909, provides that county superintendents of schools "shall have the power to issue temporary elementary certificates, valid for two years, to graduates of the University of California and to graduates of the Leland Stanford Junior University," but that "no person shall receive a temporary certificate more than once in the same county."

It should be noticed that the University does not issue any credentials leading to the grammar grade certificate other than the diploma of graduation from the University.

FELLOWSHIPS AND SCHOLARSHIPS.

FOR GRADUATES.

NOTE.-Graduate scholarships and fellowships are awarded, as a mark of honor, on the basis of scholarship-not of need; and the holders thereof are expected to devote all their time to their work in the University. Candidacy for fellowships is, in general, restricted to such otherwise suitable persons as have spent at least one year in graduate study, and are intending to proceed to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy or its equivalent. Members of the graduating class may be candidates for scholarships.

The LeConte Memorial Fellowship Fund has been established by the Alumni Association of the University, in memory of Professors John and Joseph LeConte. Its annual income is $600, which may be devoted to the support of one or more fellowships, at the discretion of the Board of Administration of the Fund. Appointees must be graduates of the University of California of not more than three years' standing at the time of award; the sole test is superior excellence, as determined at its discretion by the Board; and recipients are to pursue their studies either at the University of California or elsewhere, as the Board may determine. Application forms may be obtained from the Recorder of the Faculties.

The John W. Mackay Junior Fellowships. Under the terms of an endowment made by Mr. Clarence W. Mackay of New York City, jointly with his mother, Mrs. John W. Mackay, the University of California has established two John W. Mackay Junior Fellowships in Electrical Engineering, of an annual value of six hundred dollars each. These fellowships are open to all properly qualified university graduates. The object is not to facilitate ordinary engineering or scientific study, but to enable students who have completed a college course to do research work in electrical engineering, with a view to aiding the advance of the application of electricity to scientific and industrial purposes. The place of residence of those holding the fellowships is to be at the University of California. Experimental or other work, however, may be carried on outside the laboratories of the University.

The appointment to each fellowship shall be for one year, which appointment may, however, be renewed, at the discretion of the Graduate Council of the University.

The University Fellowships. In April, 1909, the Regents of the University provided for ten fellowships of the annual value of $400 each. For 1909-10 these fellowships have been awarded as follows: one in Mathematics, one in Palaeontology, one in Philosophy, one

in Physiology, one in Botany, one in Mining, one in Psychology, one in Geology and Mineralogy, one in Greek, and one in English. Applications should be made through the Recorder of the Faculties to the Committee on Graduate Scholarships and Fellowships.

The Bonnheim Research Fellowship in English was founded in 1907 by Albert Bonnheim of Sacramento. Its value is $650 a year; and the recipient may study at this or any other University. The fellowship is awarded on the basis of competition open to men of the graduating class or of the graduate body who are pursuing advanced studies in English. Applications, accompanied by an outline of academic career, testimonials, and a thesis (typewritten) in evidence of ability to conduct research, must be in the hands of the Chairman of the Committee of Award (the Head of the English Department) on or before the first day of May preceding the academic year for which the fellowship is desired. For further particulars apply to the Chairman.

Lick Observatory Fellowships, two or three in number, are usually maintained annually by the University. The appointees devote their attention to graduate study and assist in the work of the Observatory.

The Whiting Bequest. A bequest of twenty thousand dollars was made in 1895, by the will of Harold Whiting, formerly Associate Professor of Physics in the University. The net income from this sum is expended under the joint direction of the President and the Professor of Physics of the University. In the years 1898 to 1902 a traveling fellowship (value $600) was maintained from that income. Since 1902 two traveling fellowships, of the value of $600 each, have been awarded. In cases of distinct merit, similar awards may be made from time to time, as an encouragement to advanced study and research in Physics.

The Yale Alumni Association Fellowship. Beginning 1901-02, the Yale Alumni Association of California has awarded annually the sum of $300 (to which the authorities of Yale University agree to add an amount equal to the charge of tuition there) to some graduate of the University of California or of Leland Stanford Junior University, the money to be used by the recipient in the pursuit of graduate study at Yale University. Applications for the fellowship should be addressed to Mr. John Shepard Eells, Secretary of the Yale Alumni Association, 2200 Steiner street, San Francisco.

The Flood Fellowships in Economics. Two fellowships in Economies of $400 each per year have been established from the income of the fund donated to the University by Miss Jennie L. Flood.

Application forms may be obtained from the Recorder of the Faculties.

The Harvard Club Scholarship. The Harvard Club of San Francisco has usually awarded annually since 1887 a sum of not less than $200 to some graduate of the University of California or of Leland Stanford Junior University, the money to be used by the recipient in pursuit of graduate study at Harvard University.

The James M. Goewey Scholarship, founded in January, 1904, by the family of the late James M. Goewey, yields about $250 annually, and is awarded to a student in one of the departments of natural science. At present the awards will be limited to graduate students. Applications should be filed with the Recorder of the Faculties, from whom blank forms of application may be obtained.

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 1909-10 the income of the endowment will be $200.

The Professor F. V. Paget Scholarship was created by the will of the late Madame Emmanuel M. Paget in memory of her husband, formerly Professor of French in the University. The will directs that the income of the fund shall be given annually to some deserving student in the department of French of the University of California. The award will ordinarily be made to a graduate student. The value of this scholarship is $150.

Appointments to graduate fellowships and scholarships may be made either upon application by prospective graduate students or upon nominations or recommendations by members of the Faculties of any college or university. All applications, nominations, testimonials, etc., should be in the hands of the Recorder of the Faculties at Berkeley not later than the 15th day of March preceding the academic year for which the awards are to be made. 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.
