Each student is required to pay a matriculation fee of f 10 on first entering the institution. This entitles him to membership till he 'completes his studies. Honorary and prize scholars pay no tuition fee, but pay all other fees. All bills due the University must be paid, and the Treasurer's receipt -be shown to the Regent before the student can enter the classes. The annual expense of a residence at thp University, exclusive of books and clothing, will be nearly as follows: Tuition, room rent and incidentals, from Board, from Fuel and lights, from Washing, 75 cents per dozen Total $19.50 to $ 34,50 54.00 to 180.00 10.00 to 15.00 10.00 to 15.00 $93.50 to $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 Ms way through college who is willing, for the sake of an education, to practice steadily the virtues of industry and economy. LADIES' DEPARTMENT. The Trustees have voted to admit female students as soon as suitable accommodations can be provided. Ladies already attend the lecture courses, and early preparations will lie made to afford them the full benefits of the institution. GOVERNMENT. The university is designed for men, not children, and its government rests in anl appeal to the manly feeling and sense of honor of its students. If any student shall show himself so weak or corrupt that he cannot, when thus treated, refrain IVom vicious conduct, he will receive permission to leave the institution, where his presence can only injure others, without being of any benefit to himself. But no pains will be spared to counsel the inexperienced, to admonish the careless, and save the tempted. Especially will it be an object to establish and maintain that high toned, refined, and honorable public sentiment, which is at once the best safeguard against meanness and vice, and a constant inspiration to nobleness and virtue.
