BOARD.

There is no general provision for boarding, but there is an abundance of suitable private places in Urbana and Champaign within a reasonable distance of the University where students can obtain either table board, or board and rooms with the advantages of the family circle. Boarding clubs are formed at which the cost of meals is about two and a half dollars per week. Some students prepare their own meals, thus considerably reducing expenses. The Business Agent and the Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations of the University will aid new students in procuring rooms and boarding places.
