APPROXIMATE SUMMARY OF ALL EXPENSES.

The figures in the following tables may be taken as fairly accurate
approximations of all necessary expenses for a session of nine months. As
necessary expenses are reckoned here university and tuition fees, laboratory
fees, lodging, board, laundry, and books, but not clothing, traveling expenses,
or pocket money. For each department three estimates are given,—
a low, an average, and a liberal, estimate. The difference in the three
depends on the difference of expenditure for board, lodging, books, and
laundry,—in other words, on the scale of living of the individual student.
By sharing a room with another student, and by practicing the strictest
economy, a student's expenses may possibly be reduced below the low
estimate.

Student Self-Help.—

Every possible opportunity for obtaining remunerative
employment is afforded to students who are desirous of helping by
this means to pay their way through the University, and it may be safely
stated that any student with sufficient resources to carry him through the
first half of the session, can be reasonably sure of obtaining work which
will pay his living expenses and university charges for the remainder of
the academic year. While it is difficult for any student to be assured of
remunerative work before he reaches the University, information as to such
employment may be had from the Secretary of the Committee on Student
Self-Help, Madison Hall.
