boarding-house; or he may take both room and board in such boardinghouse,
in which case he pays no room-rent or servant-hire to the University.
A list of private boarding- and lodging-houses, with rates, may be
had upon application to the Registrar.

The University Commons.

This building, conveniently situated near the center of the University,
provides an attractive dining hall, with accommodations for seating more
than two hundred and fifty students at one time. Board is now furnished
at $16.50 per month, and it is hoped that it will be possible to continue
this rate.

University Dormitories.

Rules.—The rules governing the rental and occupancy of rooms in the
university dormitories are as follows:

Students desiring rooms should apply to the Bursar, enclosing the
reservation fee of $5, which will be returned should there be no room to let.

The occupant of a room may reserve it for the next session, by
applying to the Bursar, and depositing $5 (which is in no case returnable),
not later than May first. The balance of the rent must be paid not
later than the first registration day of the session, otherwise such
preference or other right shall be forfeited.

No room may be sublet.

Two students may occupy a room together, each paying half of the
rent.

Rates.—All rooms are unfurnished. For a single room furniture can
be secured from the local dealers at a minimum cost of $15 for the session.

All rooms are provided with either steam or hot-water heat, electric
light, and janitor service, except where otherwise specified.

The rooms on East and West Lawn (with the exception of Bachelor's
Row), East and West Range, Dawson's Row, and Monroe Hill, are commodious
and are frequently occupied by two students.

The rates given below are for the session of nine months.

Randall Building.

The rooms in this building are assigned only to students taking board
at the University Commons, and any student occupying one of these rooms,
who fails to remain at the Commons until the end of the session, will be
required to vacate the same. The single rooms are 10 × 14, 10 × 15, 10 × 16.
The double rooms are 14 × 15, 15 × 15, 15 × 17. The study is 9′ 6″ × 11′ 6″.
