HE WAS so MEAN.
An Embryo Co-Ed's Sad
Mistake.
Rush of Applicants for Admission
to BerkeIey-New Features for
the Curriculum Next Term.

Yesterday was the second day of the
entrance examinations to the university
and fully $50 applicants came to Berkeley
to try to pass the examinations that
would make them full f1edged college
students.
There were about thirty prospective
"co-eds," and in some cases they were
even more yerdant than the boys.
One of the girls innocently mistook the
instructor, who was in the room during
the algebra examination, for the janitor.
because he helped to move a table from
one part of the room TO the other, and she
spoke 10 him about the examination and
told him that she would like to meet the
''mean, hateful man who made it so hard"
that she might tell him what she thought
of him.
This particular ''co-ed" found the in
structor later, and was so afraid that she
could hardly do any work.
1t is expected that the lntrants this year
will numbe more than any previous Class,
as the usual number will come from the
accredited schools and more are taking
the first entrance examinations.
During the vacation. which extends un til
August Is, most of the buildings will be
closed, but the library will be open three
times a week, viz: on Monday, Wednesday
and Friday. from 8 A. BI. to P. NJ. After
vacation the library will be opened at
night, as the new engineering building
will supply light for the entire grounds.
This new building is nearly completed.
and by the time college opens it will be
ready for occupancy. The structure will
have cost $75,000 and S25. coo more has
been given for the furnishing Of the splen-
did building.
During the next college year, for the
M q full in ala frfR
gineering will be given at the university.
and there are already many applications
for enrolment in this department. 1t
promises to be one of the most popular
courses offered, although the new course
in natural science bids fair to draw the
largest number or students.
Professor Joseph LIE Conte, the far
famed scientist, is at its head, and und er
hin are some of the most able instructors
in the university. The course is des igned
to furnish instruction in pure science and
to incite the student to pursue advanced
work in investigation.
This department is one which the pro-
fessors in the scientific departments have
been struggling to secure for years, for
they feel that there is no course in which
a student will do such free and voluntary
good work as he will do here, on account
of the large number OF elective hours that
he is given. This course isl nearly entirely
hours are prescribed. As there are a large
number of studies from which to choose,
the student takes only such ones as are
pleasing to himself and necessary in the
course that he is pursuing
The natural science course is established
in cOntradistinction to the colleges of
science, which embrace the civil, me-
chanical and mining, engineering and the
chemistry and agricultural departments.
These are the colleges of applied science.
and are framed to fit the student for pro-
fessionai work, while the natural science
course teaches him science without refer
ence to its application in the professions.
Several new pictures have been added to
the library and a fine bronze bust of the
late John LIE Conte claims the attention OF
the visitor S he enters.
Professor Bacon and Mr.. Syle, both
Yale graduates, have presented the library
with fine picture of Yale's victorious
crew of last year. 1t represents the eight
in their shell just as they have showed
of" for practice.
