required to execute such computations as are assigned to them."

"So many graduates as can be furnished accommodations at
Mount Hamilton without expense to the University, may pursue
astronomical studies with the Director at the Lick Observatory.
Such graduate students must be either candidates for the higher
degrees of the University, in the ordinary manner, or special
students admitted with the consent of the President of the
University, and the Director of the Observatory. Such candidates shall spend at least one year in their studies at Berkeley."

At present, all undergraduate instruction in astronomy is
given at Berkeley, and the courses there are so arranged as to
lead directly to graduate work at Mount Hamilton. Application for admission to graduate courses at the Observatory may
be made at any time to the Recorder of the University at
Berkeley; and students will be admitted on the recommendation
of the Director, approved by the President of the University.
Admission is ordinarily granted to graduates of the University
of California, and also to graduates of other colleges and
scientific schools of good standing who present satisfactory
evidence of character and qualifications. Other persons of
suitable age and attainments may also be admitted.

Students at the Lick Observatory may either be: (a)
Candidates for one of the higher degrees of the University, or (b) special students. The higher degrees offered are
Master of Arts, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy.
The conditions upon which they are granted are given in the
REGISTER of the University, except that a residence at Mount
Hamilton is required of all candidates for a Master's degree of
at least four months, and of all candidates for a Doctor's degree
of at least eight months. It is expected that students will
choose their periods of residence at the Lick Observatory in the
months June to November. In certain cases the requirement of
Latin of candidates for the Doctor's degree may be remitted by
the proper authority. In all cases a good reading knowledge
of French and German will be required of such candidates.
Particular attention is called to the fact that the higher degrees
