| Total (exclusive of books and stationary, clothing and pocket money) | $213 |
In addition to the regular fee, $20 is paid by Students who attend the
Senior Class in the School of Law.
The fee for attending the class of Materia Medica in the School of
Chemistry; of Medical Jurisprudence in the School of Medicine; and of
National Law, Government and Constitutional Law, in the School of
Law, by those who do not attend those schools, is $15 each.
Boarding-houses are provided within the precincts, for the accommodation
of Students; and no Student is permitted to board or lodge out of
the precincts, unless in the family of his parent or guardian, or of some
particular friend, approved by the Faculty. Except, that Students above
the age of twenty years, may reside out of the precincts, in such private
boarding-houses as the Faculty may approve.
Every Student resident within the precincts, is required, on matriculating,
to deposit with the Patron, all the money, checks, bills, drafts, and
other available funds, which he shall have in his possession, or under his
control, in any manner intended to defray his expenses while at the University,
or on his return from thence to his residence. Nor shall he matriculate,
the Patron's commission, (two per cent.) to pay for the use of his
dormitory and the public rooms, to pay the fees of the Professors whom
he may design to attend, to pay three months' board to his hotel-keeper, to
purchase the text-books and stationary which he may want at the commencement,
and twenty dollars on account of fuel and candles, and ten
dollars to cover contingent charges and assessments against him for injuries
to the buildings, &c., which two last mentioned sums are credited in
the final settlement of his accounts. In like manner, he shall deposit
with the Patron all the funds which he shall receive while a Student of
the University, for the purposes aforesaid. At the end of the first three
months of the session, he shall deposit enough to pay his board and other
expenses for the next three months; and at the expiration of the second
period of three months, he shall deposit enough to pay his board and other
expenses for the residue of the session.
Students resident out of the University, are required, on matriculating
to deposit with the Patron funds sufficient, after deducting the Patron's
commission, to pay the fees of the Professors whom they propose to attend,
the sum charged for the use of the public rooms, and ten dollars to
cover contingent charges.
The expenses of the Students resident in the University, are limited as
follows:—for board, the use of dormitory and public rooms and tuition
fees, the sums before stated; for clothing during the session, a sum not exceeding
a hundred dollars; for pocket-money during the session, not exceeding
forty dollars; for books or stationary, whatever the parent or
guardian may think fit to allow; for medicine and medical attendance
whatever may be necessary. These limits are in no case to be exceeded,
unless under special circumstances, the Faculty shall allow it. Resident
Students are forbidden to contract any debts whatsoever; but for every
thing purchased, they are forthwith to pay, or to draw upon a fund in the
hands of the Patron applicable thereto.
Students, wherever resident, are required to wear the uniform prescribed
by the enactments; consisting of cloth of a dark grey mixture, at a price
not exceeding six dollars a yard.
The Faculty, at their discretion, may allow any man, of undoubted
moral character, above the age of twenty-three years, to attend lectures
in any of the Schools of the University, and to reside out of the precincts,
exempt from the rules and regulations prescribed for the government of
Students; except only, that he shall pay the usual Professors' fees, and
the usual compensation for the use of the public rooms, and shall observe
all those laws of the Institution which enjoin respectful and orderly deportment:
But the privilege so allowed may be withdrawn by the Faculty,
at any time, when in their opinion it has been used to the evil example
of the Students, and otherwise to the injury of the Institution.
At the end of every month, a circular is addressed by the Chairman of
the Faculty to the parent or guardian of each Student, in which are stated
his absences from the lectures he was bound to attend, and other irregularities
of which he may have been guilty, that month; together with such
information as to the Student's progress and conduct as it may be deemed
proper to communicate.
