SCHOLARSHIPS AND FELLOWSHIPS A circular concerning undergraduate scholarships may be obtained from the Recorder of the Faculties. Information concerning graduate scholarships and fellowships may be obtained from the Dean of the Graduate Division, University of California, Berkeley. UNIVERSITY EXTENSION The Extension Division serves persons who seek training and information but who cannot attend the University. It is a means of extending to the people of California, so far as practicable, the usefulness of the University. It aims to help as many citizens as possible to utilize their leisure and to meet more fully their civic responsibilities. It aims to help official and voluntary groups to make their communities stable, prosperous and progressive. It aims to promote sound public opinion in support of American institutions and ideals. The work covers two fields of activity, instruction and public service, and is carried on through six departments. I. INSTRUCTION 1. The Department of Class Instruction organizes and conducts classes in cities and towns wherever a sufficient number of people can be secured who wish to study the same subject. Instruction is offered in the languages, literature, public speaking, mathematics, political science, business branches, economics, engineering, technical branches, and other subjects. 2. The Department of Correspondence Instruction offers instruction by mail in the languages, in literature, mathematics, music, drawing, education, political science, engineering, geography, etc. Courses may begin at any time. 3. The Department of Lectures provides lectures singly or in series for any committee, club, organization, or community in the state that will make the necessary arrangements for their delivery. II. PUBLIC SERVICE 1. The Department of Municipal Reference is a clearing house for inquiries concerning municipal government and administration. It is allied with the League of California Municipalities. 2. The Department of General Information undertakes to answer inquiries, of whatever nature, addressed to it, utilizing for this purpose the resources of the University. 3. The Department of Visual Instruction circulates stereopticon slides and motion picture reels. These cover many phases of educational work. They are sent in rotation through the schools of the state and are studied by public schools as part of the curriculum and by parents and citizens as a feature of community service. Complete information with regard to University Extension, including methods of organizing classes and lecture centers, fees, and the granting of credit towards a university degree, will be sent on application. Address the Extension Division, University of California, Berkeley. APPOINTMENT REGISTRY In January, 1898, the Regents of the University established, in the President's Office, a Registry for teachers and others who desire the cooperation of the University in securing employment. The aim is to obtain complete information in regard to all University candidates for the teaching profession or for other callings. A Secretary is in charge of the lists of applicants, which include the names of many who have already won success in their professions, or in the business world. The Secretary secures evidence in regard to the scholarship, experience, and personal qualifications of each candidate, and on the basis of this information answers inquiries from appointing authorities. The purpose is to secure such information as will enable the University to name the best available person for a given position. The practice of giving written recommendations to students, to be used at their own discretion, has been discontinued. Reports from instructors are filed in the President's Office. Copies of these reports will be mailed to school officers, or to professional or business men, at their request, or at the request of the student concerned. But the President reserves the right of refusing to extend the co-operation of the University to students when they apply for positions for which they are manifestly unfit. Official recommendations for positions are made only on request of those in authority. Letters requesting such recommendations should state explicitly the subjects to be taught, or the work to be done, the salary paid per year, and the time when the engagement begins. Prompt answer will be made to such letters throughout the summer vacation as well as during the university year. The Secretary will consult any member of the faculty whose advice is especially desired. There are no fees for the services of this office. Communications should be addressed to the Appointment Secretary, University of California, Berkeley. SUMMER SESSION The Summer Session of six weeks is designed for teachers and other persons who are unable to attend the University during the fall and spring sessions. There are at present no formal entrance requirements, except that applicants must be persons of good moral character and must be considered by the faculty to be of sufficient maturity and intelligence to profit by attendance upon the exercises of the session. The courses of instruction are mainly of university grade, and credit toward university degrees may be given to attendants who comply with such conditions of work and examinations as may be imposed by the instructors in charge. The tuition fee is $20, regardless of the number of courses taken. An Announcement of the Summer Session is issued in April of each year and may be obtained by addressing the Dean of the Summer Session, Berkeley, California. In addition to the usual session at the University in Berkeley a Southern Division of the Summer Session has been established and will be conducted at the Southern Branch of the University in Los Angeles. INFIRMARY In return for the Infirmary fee, each student is entitled to consultation, and medical and hospital care at the Infirmary, on the campus. The daily average of dispensary consultations and treatments exceeds one hundred and fifty. Full hospital care is given in case of serious illness. There is no charge, beyond the Infirmary fee, for ordinary medical or hospital service; but if a surgical operation or a special nurse be required, the cost must be borne by the patient. A small hourly charge is made for dental service. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION COLLEGES OF LETTERS AND SCIENCE, COMMERCE, AGRICULTURE, ENGINEERING, AND CHEMISTRY; SCHOOLS OF ARCHITECTURE, EDUCATION, AND JURISPRUDENCE.
