APPROXIMATE SUMMARY OF NECESSARY 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. If a student shares a room with another student,
and practices the strictest economy, he may possibly reduce his expenses 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 a considerable part of 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.
Loans will be provided for deserving students. See page 152.
