DORMITORIES AND BOARD. There are in the University buildings about one hundred private rooms, which are rented to the students who first apply. Most of the rooms are of ample size for two students. All are without furniture. There are many boarding houses near the University where either table board or board and rooms can be obtained, with the advantages of the family circle. Boarding clubs are also formed by the students, by which the cost of meals may be reduced to $2.25 per week. Some students prepare their own meals, and thus reduce expenses still farther.
