The tuition fee for Academical students is for the ordinary case in which
three schools are taken (p. 72). The sums payable on entrance include a
contingent deposit of $10, which is credited in final settlement, and forms
no part of the necessary expenses. It is assessed for damage to property,
violation of Library rules, and so on.

To the totals of the above table must be added the cost of books and
stationery (which varies too much to be introduced into a general estimate),
and of degrees. The fees for the latter are as follows:

     

Untitled Degrees.		Titled Degrees.
Proficient (in a class)	$2 50	Bachelor of Law	$15 00
Graduate (in a school)	5 00	Doctor of Medicine	15 00

For the other titled degrees (pp. 59, 60) no charge is made if the prerequisite
untitled degrees have been taken and paid for.

Candidates for a degree must deposit the fee on or before 1st May; it will
be returned if the degree is not conferred. All other University fees must
be paid on entrance. Board is payable quarterly in advance (1st October,
1st January, 1st April). Fuel is usually purchased at the beginning of the
session. Washing is paid for monthly at $1.50 a month.

An abatement of one-third in fees for matriculation, dormitory rent and
tuition is made to students who enter after 1st January.

The Matriculation Fee, paid annually by every student, admits him
to the use of the Library (page 62), the public buildings and all other general
facilities of the University.

The Infirmary Fee, paid annually by every student (except such as
live at home), entitles him, in case of sickness during the session, to the
advice and attendance of the Medical Professors, and, if necessary, to the
services of a trained nurse in the well-appointed University Infirmary.

The Dormitory Rent is paid annually by every student who lodges in
a University dormitory. Those who prefer to lodge at home or in a licensed
boarding-house are permitted to do so; provided that the rents of dormitories
which remain unoccupied are assessed equally on such privileged
students.

The Board at $13, as in the above table, is plain, but wholesome and
abundant. Better board costs $15, $18, $20. The monthly charges at the
different clubs, hotels and boarding-houses are as follows; the price in every
case includes diet, dormitory furniture and servant's attendance:

     

University Clubs	$ 13
University Hotels	18
Licensed Boarding-houses	15—20

For regulation as to change of boarding-house, see page 72.
