EXPENSES OF REGULAR STUDENTS.

The average annual expenses of a student who pursues the regular
course in Engineering will be:

             

	Outside Students.	Virginians.
University Fee	$ 40	$ 40
Tuition and Laboratory Fees (average)	100	50
Living Expenses (for nine months)	225	225
Books and Drawing Materials	20	20
Incidental Expenses (for nine months)	45	45
Total for average conditions	$430	$380

The charges for Tuition are uniform to all students, except that
Virginians are relieved of tuition on courses offered in the College. The
fee for each class taken will be $25, with the addition of the prescribed
laboratory charges, which are $5 for each class in Applied Mechanics,
Engineering, and Physics; $15 for Chemistry. For each class in Analytical
Chemistry a special fee of $50 is charged for tuition, plus $10 for
apparatus and supplies. The fee for each class in Drawing is $10.

The University Fee entitles the student to the free use of the Library,
Gymnasium, Shops, and Laboratories; to free medical attention; to the
services of the Instructor in Physical Culture; to the facilities of the
Hospital in case of need; and covers all fees for the regular examinations,
degrees, and diplomas.

The Living Expenses include board, lodging, fuel and lights, servant
and laundry; the average is $25 a month, the minimum $18, and a reasonable
maximum $32. Books and Drawing Materials will cost about $80 for the
four year course. Incidental Expenses ought to be kept within modest
bounds; the above estimate is sufficient; large allowances of pocket money
promote idleness and attract companions of the baser sort. No allowances
are made for clothing or traveling expenses, which vary too much to be
introduced into any general estimate.

The following are payable on entrance: University Fee ($40);
Tuition and Laboratory Fees ($100); Contingent Deposit ($10); Books
and Instruments ($20); and one month's Living Expenses ($32-18). The
student will need at entrance about $200.

SPECIAL COURSE IN HIGHWAY ENGINEERING.

In recognition of the growing interest in Good Roads in Virginia and
the immense economic importance of the construction of such roads in all
parts of the Commonwealth, the courses of instruction relating directly
to this topic have been grouped together to form a Special Course in Highway
Engineering. This course is given in the Spring Term and embraces:

• A. Location, Construction and Maintenance of County Roads and of
  City Streets and Pavements, with laboratory tests of road
  materials. [Newcomb].

• B. Plane Surveying with especial reference to land and topographical
  surveying and to highway location. [Newcomb].

• C. Topographical Drawing, embracing contoured maps, colored topography,
  map lettering, tracing and blue printing. [Hancock].

• D. Structural Drawing, with especial reference to county road bridges,
  and to culverts and retaining walls for highways. [Thornton
  and Gallalee].

• E. Field Surveying, with the adjustments and uses of the compass
  transit, level and plane table. [Newcomb and the field
  assistants].

The regular fees for this special course aggregate $40.00, but to a
limited number of adequately prepared applicants, citizens of Virginia,
nominated by the County Board of Supervisors of their respective counties,
free scholarships will be given. Such students pay only a registration
fee of $5.00, for the use of field instruments and laboratory apparatus.
