EXPENSES.

The following is an estimate of the expenses of an academic
student for the session of nine months, exclusive of the cost of
text-books:

                 

Matriculation and library fee,	$25
Room-rent, if two occupy the same room, each	15
Contingent deposit,	10
Tuition fees in three schools, the usual number attended,	75
Board, including diet, furniture of room and attendance,	180
Deposit for fuel and lights,	35
Washing, $1.50 per mo.—per session, say	15
Infirmary fee,	5
	$360

This estimate will be slightly modified if the student enter
more or fewer schools than indicated.

Law students pay $80 per session for tuition, and Medical
students $105: consequently the estimate for the former is $365,
and for the latter $390 per session.

All the foregoing items are payable in advance, except board
and washing. One-third ($60) of the board is required on
admission, and the balance in equal instalments, at three and six
months thereafter. Washing is paid for monthly, as the service
is rendered.

The Contingent deposit is designed to cover contingent charges
and assessments. These are generally small. The residue of
this deposit is refunded to the student in the settlement of his
account at the close of the session.

The Infirmary fee secures, in case of sickness, prescriptions at
the University infirmary, and if needed, nursing by professional
nurses, lodging, board and medical attendance by the physicians
of the institution, free of additional charge.

No abatement is made in the matriculation and tuition fees
and room-rent, on account of late entrance; and no portion of
the same is refunded, on account of withdrawal before the close
of the session—unless the withdrawal be rendered necessary by
ill health, and occur before the first of March. The charges for
board, fuel and lights and washing are estimated from the time

of entrance. Many disadvantages to the student result from late
entrance. Therefore, prompt attendance at the beginning of the
session is earnestly enjoined upon all who wish to derive the full
benefits of the courses of instruction.
