EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:



58 Some students who have the requisite skill, industry and economy, pay their entire expenses by their labor; but, in general, young men cannot count upon doing this at first without a capital to begin with, either of skill, or of money to serve them till a degree of skill is acquired. With this, however, and with a judicious use of time during vacations, many students have been able to meet their entire expenses.

UNIVERSITY UNIFORMS.

Under the authority of the act of incorporation, the trustees have prescribed that all male students, after the first term, shall wear the University uniform. The University cap is to be worn from the first. This uniform consists of a set of cadet grey mixed cloth, of the same color and quality as that worn at West Point, and manufactured by the same establishment. Students can procure them ready-made on their arrival here. The University cap is of dark blue cloth, and is ornamented in front with the initials 1.1. U., surrounded by a silver wreath. Students will always wear their uniforms on parade, but in their rooms and at recitations may wear other clothing.
