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

Law students pay $80 per session for tuition, and Medical
students 110; consequently the estimate for the former is
$365, and for the latter $395 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.
