REGULATIONS AND ADMINISTRATION. 85 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. The usual rate paid for ordinary farm, garden, and shop labor is ten cents per hour. Students of sufficient experience may be allowed to work by the piece or job, and thus by diligence or skill secure more pay. 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. As the number of students increases, it is found more and more difficult to furnish the labor needed, and students cannot count uponfindingemployment. BOARD. The University does not furnish 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, and easily accessible by electric railways, 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. EXPENSES. THE TUITION IS FREE in all the University classes. THE MATRICULATION FEE entitles the student to membership in the University until he completes his studies, and must be paid before he enters. Amount $10.00 THE TERM FEE for incidental expenses is for each student 7.50 Each student working in laboratories, or in the draughting or engineering classes, is required to make a deposit varying from 50 cents to $10, to pay for chemicals and apparatus used, and for any breakages or damages.
