EXPENSES.

Tuition free in all departments. Fee for incidentals, per term $2.50 Room rent in University building for each student, per term 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 to the 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 S19.50 $ 19.50 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 ough^, 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.

GOVERNMENT.

The University is designed for men, not children, and its government rests in an appeal to the manly feeling and sense of honor of its students. If any student shall show himself so weak or corrupt that he can not. when thus treated, refrain from 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 refined, and honorable public sentiment, which is tit once the best safeguard against meanness and vice, and a constant inspiration to nobleness and virtue.
