UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. CAUTION TO PARENTS—STUDENTS' FUNDS.

The Business Agent will receive on deposit any funds parents may intrust to him to meet the expenses of their sons. No greater error can be committed than to send boys from home with large amounts of spending money, without the authoritative care of some prudent friend. Half the dissipation in colleges springs from excessive allowances of money. Students have little real need for money, beyond that required for fees, board bills, and books. The attention of parents and guardians is earnestly requested to this matter, and especially in the case of those students who are under twenty years of age.
