EXPENSES.
(IN THE DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE.)
A student's expenses may be divided (1) into those
University charges which are the same each year for all
students; (2) those, also of the University, which vary with
the course of study pursued; and (3) those charges, embracing
his living expenses, which vary with the purse, tastes,
etc., of the individual.
Under the first head are included:
| Matriculation Fee, | $40.00 |
| Contingent Deposit, | $10.00 |
The Matriculation or University Fee is devoted chiefly
to the current expenses common to the whole University
including examination and diploma fees. It also
entitles the student to the use of the Library; to the
privileges of the Gymnasium with free baths, private
lockers, etc., and the advice and aid of the Instructor in
Physical Culture; and, in addition, to free medical attention
and nursing, in case of illness, in a well-equipped Infirmary
maintained on the grounds for students alone.
The Contingent Deposit is liable for any damage to
property, or for violations of Library or other University
rules, for which the student is responsible. If no charge is
to be found against it, it is returned at the end of the session.
Under the second head is comprised the charge for
tuition. This in the Department of Medicine varies with
the year as follows:
| For the first year, | $120.00 |
| For the second year, | $100.00 |
| For the third year, | $ 60.00 |
These sums represent the entire cost of instruction for
the years in question, there being in no case any additional
charge for anatomical material, laboratory supplies, etc.
When students who are not candidates for a degree pursue
one or more of the subjects of the course in Medicine as
pursued. University fees and tuition fees are in all cases
payable on entrance.
A laboratory course in Practical Pharmacy, under
Professor Dunnington, is optional to students of Medicine
who may choose to attend it. For this no tuition fee is
charged, but a payment of $3 is required of each student,
to cover the cost of materials used.
The expenses under the third head above given vary so
greatly that it is impossible to state them with any degree
of certainty. It may with safety be said that by the strictest
economy the cost of living (including lodging, board, fire,
lights, service and laundry) can be brought within eighteen
dollars a month for the session. On this basis, and including
a reasonable allowance for books, instruments, etc., the
minimum cost for the session, including fees, tuition, and
living, but excluding clothing, traveling expenses, and all
sundries may be stated as follows:
| For the first year, | $350.00 |
| For the second year, | $330.00 |
| For the third year, | $290.00 |
It should be noted, however, that this includes, as
stated, an estimate for living expenses at the most economical
rate. Most students spend from twenty to thirty dollars
a month for this purpose. For more detailed information
under this head, reference may be made to the statement
regarding expenses in the Academic Department.
