The first chapter contains information about the University and the Irvine campus in particular. The second chapter, Academic Plan, con­ tains specific details about the academic structure of UCI, obtaining a degree, choosing a major, academic advising, and miscellaneous pre-professional and educational programs. The next two chapters cover Student Affairs and Admis­ sions and Enrollment, including procedures and regulations. The major part of the catalogue contains information describing the various schools, departments within the schools, lnterschool Curricula, University Stu­ dies, and Graduate Education, as well as the programs of study and courses offered in each. Because this catalogue must be prepared well in advance of the year it covers, changes in some programs will inevitably occur. The quarterly "Schedule of Courses" is the final authority in regard to classes offered and instructors; this publication is available from the Registrar's Office shortly before enrollment begins each.quarter. Course Listings: It is particularly important to note that some courses listed are not necessarily offered each year. Admission to UCI does not guarantee admission to any particular course. The letters F, W, or S after the course number and title indicate which quar­ ter(s) the course will be offered: fall, winter, or spring. (Although this catalogue is not intended to include Summer Session courses, a few are listed which complement particular programs; these are indicated by the word "summer.") The "(1)" or "(1-1-1)" designation following the course title indicates the course credit toward the 45 courses needed to graduate. Each "1" represents one quarter course. Courses that may be repeated for credit contain wording to that effect in the descriptive writeup.

California was admit­ ted to the Union the following year, but almost twenty years w~re to pass before the hope for a public university was realized. Impetus for the building of a university came from private citizens and the federal government as well as from the State. A forerunner of the University of California was the Contra Costa Academy, established in 1853 in downtown Oakland by a group of churchmen led by the Reverend Henry Durant. In 1855 this institution was incorporated as-the College of California, and plans were made to purchase a new site north of Oakland. In 1853 Congress bestowed upon the State 46,000 acres of public lands with the stipulation that proceeds of the sale of the land were to be used for a "seminary of learning." The Morrill Act of 1862 gave another grant of public lands to the State for the establishment of a college to teach agriculture and the mechanic arts. The College of California offered its buildings and lands to the State in 1867 on condition that a "complete university" be created to teach the humanities as well as agriculture, mining, and mechanics. The legislature accepted, and on March 23, 1868-Charter Day-Governor H. H. Haight signed the act that created the University of California. From its beginning in Berkeley, the University of California has grown to total nine campuses: Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz. The University also maintains re­ search stations, field stations, and Extension centers in more than 80 locations throughout California. · The University operates major research installations at Mount Hamilton (the Lick Observatory), White Mountain (high altitude research), Hat Creek (radio astronomy research), Bodega Bay (marine laboratory), Oakland (Naval Biologi­ cal Laboratory), and Richmond (engineering and forest products research). Among nearly two dozen other principal field .and research stations are the Antelope Valley Field Station, Los Angeles County; Blodgett Forest, El Dorado County; Philip Boyd Desert Research Center, Riverside County; Deciduous Fruit Field Station, Santa Clara County; Frances Simes Hastings Natural History Reservation, Monterey County; Hopland Field Station, Mendocino County; and Kearney Horticultural Field Station, Fresno County. Under contract with the Atomic Energy Commission, the University provides administrative services for · two off-campus installations for atomic researCh: a component of the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at Livermore and the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory at Los Alamos, New Mexico.
