EXPENSES.

The necessary expenses of a student in the Medical Department are, for
the session of nine months, as follows:

                     
University Fees— 
Matriculation  $ 25 
Infirmary Fee 
Dormitory Rent (two in a room)  15 
Tuition (including fce for dissection)  110 
Total of Fees  $157 
Living Expenses— 
Fuel, Lights and Washing  25 
Board at $13 a Month  117 
Total necessary expenses (board at $13)  $299 
Payable on entrance  $210 

The sum payable on entrance includes a contingent deposit of $10, which
is credited in final settlement, and hence forms no part of the necessary
expenses. This deposit is assessed for damage to property, violation of Library
rules, and so on.

To the above total must be added the cost of books, stationery and dissecting
instruments, about $45 for the entire course, and the cost of a degree,
which, if taken, is $15. The books purchased will be of permanent value to
the student as part of his professional library.

The board at $13 is plain, but wholesome and abundant. Better board
can be had at $18 a month. At $18 the total necessary expenses will be $344,
of which $228 is payable on entrance.

For the entire course, if taken in one year, the necessary expenses, including
books, will be $335 to $389, according to the price paid for board, with
the addition of $15 for the degree, if the degree is taken.
