EXPENSES.

The following is an estimate of the expenses of an Academic
student for the session of nine months, exclusive of the cost of textbooks.

                 

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 month—per session, say	15
Infirmary fee	5
	$360

This statement will be slightly modified if the student enter more
or fewer schools than indicated. The charge for board may also be
considerably reduced by joining clubs formed by students, who prefer
messing together.

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.

Students in the department of Applied Mathematics pay $40 per
session for tuition.

Students in the department of Analytical and Industrial Chemistry
pay:

For the full course a fee of $100, and a charge of $25 for laboratory
material consumed;

For the course of elementary instruction a fee of $50, and a charge
of $10 for laboratory material consumed;

For the special course, for Medical students, a fee of $20, and a
charge of $5 for laboratory material consumed.

Each laboratory student—in whatever course of instruction—will
be required to furnish himself with the more common and generally
necessary articles of apparatus. The cost of a suitable set need not
exceed $15.

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, except for those who enter
after the 1st January—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.
