UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS.

young men cannot count upon doing this at first, without a capital to begin with, either of skill or 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 upon finding employment.

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.
