III. BOARD AND LODGING.
A student may rent a room in one of the university dormitories and take his
meals either in the University Commons or in an approved private boarding
house; or he may take both room and board in such boarding house, 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 three hundred
students at one time. Table board is now furnished at $18 per single calendar
month, or, if taken for the entire session, at $17 per month. It is hoped that
it will be possible to continue these rates.
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 a 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 1. 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 the rent.
Rates.—All rooms are rented unfurnished, but the University has arranged
with a local dealer to place in each room the necessary articles, consisting of one
three-piece enameled bed with comfortable springs, one thoroughly sanitary all-cotton
mattress, one good feather pillow, one solid oak six-drawer chiffonier with
mirror, one student rocker with cane seat and back, one student straight chair
and one student table with 24 × 36-inch top. This furniture will be placed in the
room before the opening of the session, thereby having the room ready for
occupancy immediately upon arrival. The student will pay the local dealer $15
per session as rent for the furniture. The rental for the necessary furniture
for a room occupied by two students will be $20. Additional furniture may be
rented if desired. The student should bring bed linen, towels, blankets, etc., or
be prepared to purchase them here.
All rooms are provided with either steam or hot-water heat and electric
light, except where otherwise specified. Janitor service is included in the rate
given, except in the case of the Randall Building.
The rooms on East and West Lawn (with the exception of Bachelors'
Row), East and West Range, and Dawson's Row, are commodious, and are frequently
occupied by two students.
The rates given below are for the session of nine months.
