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 collegiate class taken will be $25, with the addition of the prescribed
laboratory charges, which are $5 per class for Physics and $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
technical lecture-course is $30, for each practice-course in drawing $15, for
each laboratory or practice-course in Engineering, Shop-work, or Fieldwork,
$5. These fees include all charges for laboratory materials; but the
student is held further responsible for breakage.
The Living Expenses include board, lodging, fuel and lights, servant
and laundry; the average under war conditions is $32 a month, the minimum
$22, and a reasonable maximum $37. 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 sore. No allowances are made for clothing or travel, the
expenses for which vary too much to be introduced into any general estimate.
The charges payable on entrance are the University fee, the contingent
deposit of $10 and the tuition and laboratory fees.
