The average annual expenses of a student who pursues the regular
course in Engineering will be:

             

	Outside Students	Virginians.
University Fee	$ 40	$ 40
Tuition and Laboratory Fees (average)	100	50
Living Expenses (for nine months)	225	225
Books and Drawing Materials	20	20
Incidental Expenses (for nine months)	45	45
Total for average conditions	$430	$380

The charges for Tuition are uniform to all students, except that
Virginians are relieved of tuition on courses offered in the College.
The fee for each class taken will be $25, with the addition of the
prescribed laboratory charges, which are $5 for each class in Applied
Mechanics, Engineering, and Physics; $15 for Chemistry. For
each class in Analytical Chemistry a special fee of $50 is charged
for tuition, plus $10 for apparatus and supplies. The fee for practical
instruction in each class in Drawing is $10, and for each class
in Shopwork and Fieldwork $5.

The University Fee entitles the student to the free use of the
Library, Gymnasium, Shops, and Laboratories; to free medical attention;
to the services of the Instructor in Physical Culture; to
the facilities of the Hospital in case of need; and covers all fees for
the regular examinations, degrees, and diplomas.

The Living Expenses include board, lodging, fuel and lights,
servant and laundry; the average is $25 a month, the minimum $18,
and a reasonable maximum $32. Books and Drawing Materials will
cost about $80 for the four year course. Incidental Expenses ought
to be kept within modest bounds; the above estimate is sufficient;
large allowances of pocket money promote idleness and attract companions
of the baser sort. No allowances are made for clothing or
travel, the expenses for which vary too much to be introduced into
any general estimate.

The following are payable on entrance: University Fee ($40);
Tuition and Laboratory Fees ($100); Contingent Deposit ($10);
Books and Instruments ($20); and one month's Living Expenses
($32-18). The student will need at entrance about $200.
