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 $19 per
single calendar month, or, if taken for the entire session, at $18 per month.
It is hoped that it will be possible to continue these rates.
University Dormitories.
Rules.—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.
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 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,
so that the room will be ready for occupancy immediately upon arrival.
The student will pay the local dealer $25 per session as rent for the furniture.
The rental for the necessary furniture for a room occupied by
two students will be $30 using a double bed, or $33 for a double room
using two single beds or a double-deck bed. Additional furniture may be
rented if desired. The student should bring bed linen, towels, blankets,
pillow, etc., or be prepared to purchase them here.
All rooms are provided with either steam or hot-water heat and electric
rate given.
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.
