in which such student is entered of the delinquency, and such student shall
by him be required to at once cease attending lectures, using laboratories,
library, gymnasium, athletic grounds or buildings, boarding at the dining
hall, and making use of any other privileges as a student until his financial
relations with the University have been arranged satisfactorily with the
Bursar.

shall have his fees refunded in full, except the sum of $5 to cover cost
of registration, and his name shall be stricken from the rolls.

If he withdraw or is dropped from the rolls for any cause after the
fifth day of the term and before the middle thereof, his fees shall be returned
pro rata.

If he withdraw or be dropped from the rolls for any cause after the middle

Physician or other reputable medical practitioner.

University, is now being conducted on the Cafeteria plan, with accommodations

is being served at costs ranging from $20 to $30 per month. Many of the

APPROXIMATE SUMMARY OF NECESSARY EXPENSES

The figures in the following tables may be taken as fairly accurate approximations
of all necessary expenses for a session of nine months. The necessary
expenses included here are university and tuition fees, laboratory fees, lodging,
board, laundry, and books, but not clothing, traveling expenses, or pocket
money. For each department three estimates are given—a low, an average, and

a liberal estimate. The difference in the three depends on the difference of expenditure
for board, lodging, books, and laundry—in other words, on the scale
of living of the individual student. If a student shares a room with another student,
and practices the strictest economy, he may possibly reduce his expenses below
the low estimate.

Student Self-Help.—Every possible opportunity for obtaining remunerative
employment is afforded to students who are desirous of helping by this
means to pay their way through the University, and it may be safely stated
that any student with sufficient resources to carry him through the first half
of the session, can be reasonably sure of obtaining work which will pay a
considerable part of his living expenses and university charges for the remainder
of the academic year. While it is difficult for any student to be assured
of remunerative work before he reaches the University, information
as to such employment may be had from the secretary of the Committee
on Student Self-Help, Madison Hall.

Loans will be provided for deserving students. See page 151.
