Labor is not compulsory, but is furnished as far as possible to all who desire it. It is classified into Educational and. Remunerative labor. Educational Labor is designed as. practical instruction, and constitutes a part of the course in several schools. Students are credited with their proficiency in it as in other studies. Nothing is paid for it. Remunerative Labor is prosecuted for its products, and students are paid what their work is worth. Those desiring employment must join the Labor Classes, which labor from two to four hours a day. The maximum rate paid for farm, garden and shop labor is ten cents, and for that about the buildings and ornamental grounds, eight cents per hour. Efficient students, who desire to earn more money, can often obtain work for extra hours; or they may be allowed to work by the piece or job, and thus, by diligence or skill, secure more. 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 the male students, after their first term, shall wear the University uniform. The University cap is to be worn from the first. This uniform consists of a suit 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 I. I. 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. FIXE ART GALLERY.
