and 66; 11; 8 or 14 or 15a or 15b, and either 10 and 13 or two of the main subdivisions (a, b, c, d) of 12.

A. Oral and Written Expression. Training in this subject enters into the proper treatment of all topics of study taken up in the school course, and extends to speaking and oral reading as well as to writing. Its aim is to secure to the student the ability to use his mother-tongue correctly, clearly, and pertinently on all the lines upon which his thought is exercised.

For the present no separate examination in this subject will be set, but note will be made of correctness of form and adequacy of expression in the various papers written by each applicant.

1. English. The examination in this subject will presuppose thorough acquaintance with the following works, together with the practical knowledge of grammar and elementary rhetoric implied in such acquaintance: (1) The Lady of the Lake; (2) The Alhambra; (3) Sir Roger de Coverley; (4) Classic Myths; (5) Short Poems: Horatius, The Deserted Village, The Cotter's Saturday Night, The Prisoner of Chillon (or Selections from Childe Harold), Winter, Winter Morning Walk, Snow-Bound, Tam O'Shanter, The Ancient Mariner, L'Allegro, and Il Penseroso; (6) The Merchant of Venice; (7) Julius Caesar; (8) Macaulay's Warren Hastings.

While the regular examinations will, for the present, be upon these subjects without option, schools on the acredited list of the University may, after consulting with the English department, make such substitutions as the following: for (1), The Lay of the Last Minstrel; for (2), Tom Brown at Rugby, or Ivanhoe; for (3), Addison's Select Essays; for (5), some twelve poems of similar scope and character; for (6) or for (7), Macbeth.

2. Arithmetic. No examination in this subject will henceforward be set for entrance to the Medical Department, since the study comes regularly in the grammar school, and its essential processes are involved in Algebra.

3. Algebra. Through Quadratic Equations: namely, the various methods of factoring, the theory of exponents, integral and fractional, positive and negative, the calculus of radicals, ratio, and proportion; quadratic equations, both single and simultaneous, their solution and their theory, including all the recognized methods of solution, all equations reducible to the quadratic form and the formation of equations from given roots.

4. Plane Geometry. Including the general properties of regular polygons, their construction, perimeters, and areas, and the different methods for determining the ratio of the circumference to the diameter.

5. Civil Government and American History. A knowledge of the principles of government, Federal, State, and local. This requirement presupposes an acquaintance with the history of the United States.

6. Elementary Latin. (a) Translation of easy prose into English. The examination will cover the translation, subject-matter, and implied grammar of selected passages from Caesar's Gallic War, Books i-iv; but accredited schools may use any equivalent Latin text. (b) Translation of simple English into Latin prose. This requirement presupposes familiarity with the usual forms and ordinary constructions of the language. Continued training in translating detached sentences illustrative of constructions, and of sentences based on Caesar or an equivalent author, together with a thorough grammatical drill on the work read, is a proper preparation for satisfying this requirement.

11. Physics. 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 represention 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. In addition to the test of a written examination, it will be insisted upon 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.

126. Chemistry. The preparation required will include a thorough acquaintance with the elementary principles of the science. Laboratory practice is essential.

12c. Botany. 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 inference from the observations. It is desirable that the pupils become familiar with the easier orders of flowering plants represented in the local flora. Bergen's Elements of Botany (Pacific Coast edition), Spaulding's Introduction to Botany, and Setchell's Laboratory Practice for Beginners, indicate both the scope and the method of the work.

12d. Zoology. To consist in the actual study of animals, and recitations, the practical work to be the center of the preparation.

The practical work should be partly in the laboratory and partly in the field. The chief aim of the examinations in the subject will be to determine how closely and accurately pupils have observed. Guides for study: Boyer's Elementary Biology, Part I; Colton's Practical Zoology; Needham's Elementary Lessons in Zoology; or Dodge's Introduction to Elementary Practical Biology.

FUTURE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MEDICAL

DEPARTMENT.

Beginning with the academic year 1905-06 all students desiring to enter the first year of the medical course and all new students seeking advanced standing must present evidence of having completed at least two full years of preliminary training in the undergraduate department of a college or university of recognized standing.

This regulation renders it necessary for the applicant to present, as part of the high or secondary school preparation for the academic work, the highest entrance requirements in English, mathematics, and chemistry, designated in the Register of the University of California as Subjects 14, 12A (1 and 2), and 12B, as well as the physics, Latin, and history required for entrance under Subjects 11 and 1 to 7 inclusive. Further qualifications in modern languages are very desirable before the student enters upon the preliminary academic work required of all applicants for admission to the Medical Department. Satisfactory evidence must also be presented that during these two years the applicant has completed the following courses:

Chemistry.—(1) A course in general inorganic chemistry, including lectures, recitations, and laboratory work. Lectures and recitations two or three hours; laboratory work five or six hours a week throughout one year. In this course should be included the main facts of physical chemistry.

(2) Quantitative analysis. Gravimetric and volumetric. Laboratory nine hours a week, one half-year.

(3) Organic Chemistry. A course of lectures, demonstrations, and recitations in organic chemistry. Two hours a week, one half-year.

Courses 1, 2, 3, 4, 5A, and 8 in the Department of Chemistry in the University of California cover the work outlined above, which constitutes the minimum required amount of chemistry.

Physics. (1) A course in general physics, including lectures, recitations, and laboratory work. Seven hours per week throughout one year.

(2) A laboratory course in physical measurements. week throughout one year.

Six hours per

Courses 1 and 3 in the Department of Physics of the University of California cover the work outlined above, which constitutes the minimum required amount of physics.

Biology. (1) A general course in zoölogy, giving a knowledge of the main facts of biology, covering structure, life-history, and vital activities of selected types of animal life. The chief points of cytology and development, as well as a clear conception of the doctrine of descent, should also be given in this course. Two hours a week throughout one year.

(2) Laboratory work in zoology covering the points brought out in Course 1, with objectivity and the training of the powers of observation as its special features. Practice in the recording of scientific phenomena both by means of word description and drawings should also be given. Six hours per week throughout one year.

Courses 1A and 1B in the Department of Zoology in the University of California cover, in general, the minimum work required in biology.

English.-A course in English composition consisting of consultation and theme work. At least three hours per week throughout one year. French and German.-Applicants must possess a reading knowledge of scientific French and German.

The standard in the required courses outlined above must correspond and be at least equal to those given in the academic department of this University.

It is suggested that students should also during their preliminary academic training take certain elective courses which would materially increase the efficiency of the preparation for their later work in medicine. Advanced mathematics, comparative anatomy, embryology, laboratory work in organic chemistry, and advanced work in physics covering the theory of solutions are courses of this nature. Entering students, therefore, are urged to present them on admission with the required work. The adequate training of a physician certainly presupposes a knowledge of physics, chemistry, biology, and the modern languages as outlined above; but the need of a broad foundation in general culture cannot be over-estimated, and students should select from the curricula of their colleges as many courses as possible beyond those demanded and recommended by the Faculty of the Medical Department.

Although the preliminary collegiate work will not be required of all students until the session of 1905, those who enter the medica!

school before that time are urged for the sake of their future work in medicine to conform as nearly as possible to the preparation outlined above, and to present on admission as many of the courses in physics, chemistry, and biology as circumstances permit.
