Vacation of two weeks.

(Tuition fee in all Departments.)

Fee for incidentals, per term Room rent in University building for each student, per term $2 50 4 00

Each student is required to pay a matriculation fee of $10 on first entering the institution. This entitles him to a membership till he completes his studies. All bills due the University must be paid, and the Treasurer's receipt be shown t o t h e Regent, before the student can enter the classes. The annual expense of a residence at the University, exclusive of books and clothing, will be nearly as follows :

Room rent and incidentals Board, from Fuel and lights, from Washing, 75 cents per dozen Total $19 54 10 10 50@$ 19 00@ 180 00@ 15 00@ 15 50 00 00 00

$93 50@$244 50

Many young men reduce the expense to within $90 per year, and pay this by their labor during the year. It ought to be known that any young man can pay his way through college who is willing, for the sake of an education, to practice steadily the virtues of industry and economy.
