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 practical
instruction in 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:
| 703. |
Location, Construction and Maintenance of County Roads
and of City Streets and Pavements, with Laboratory tests
of road materials. [Newcomb]. |
| 753. |
| 700. |
Plane Surveying with especial reference to land and topographical
surveying and to highway location. [Newcomb]. |
| 652. |
Topographical Drawing, embracing contoured maps, colored
topography, map lettering, tracing and blue printing.
[Hancock]. |
| 655. |
Structural Drawing, with especial reference to county road
bridges, and to culverts and retaining walls for highways.
[Thornton and Assistant]. |
| 750. |
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.
