FREE TUITION.

By an act of the Legislature in 1887, free tuition is given, in the College, to candidates for the ministry, to the sons of ministers, to young men under bodily infirmity, to teachers, and to young men preparing to teach. This enables the University to aid most effectively the public school teachers of the State.

LOAN FUNDS.

THE DEEMS FUND. (Established in 1879.) A fund of six hundred dollars was established by Rev. Dr. Charles Force Deems, late pastor of the Church of the Strangers, New York City, formerly a Professor in the University, in memory of his son, Lieutenant Theodore Disosway Deems. In 1881 the fund was greatly enlarged, through the munificence of Mr. William H. Vanderbilt, by a gift of ten thousand dollars, "as an addition to the Deems fund, to be loaned to indigent students of the University." Applications for loans will not be considered unless accompanied by testimonials from responsible persons as to poverty and merit. The funds are limited in amount and are loaned only on the security of two approved signatures and at the legal rate of interest.

All applications for loans must be filed in the President's office on or before August 15,

EXPENSES.

Every effort is made to reduce to the lowest point the necessary expenses of an education at the University. The charges for each of the two terms are as follows:

Students taking courses in the laboratories are charged a small fee for materials. Every student must keep on deposit with the Bursar two dol

lars as security for damages. Willful damage to University property is charged to the perpetrator, if known, otherwise it is assessed upon all students of the University. Any balance is returned to the student at the end of the year.

A few

Good board is furnished at Commons for eight dollars a month. students earn their board at Commons by waiting on the tables. In private clubs board may be reduced to a minimum of six dollars a month. The entire annual expenses need not exceed three hundred dollars, and they may be reduced to two hundred dollars.

It is confidently believed that no institution offers wider opportunities of self-help to meritorious students of slender means. The desire is that no worthy boy, however poor, shall ever be turned away for lack of means. To such the University and town offer unusual opportunities for support. Many students are now working their way through college by every form of honorable labor. A number are here as a result of money earned or borrowed. Seventy are aided by loans, and about five hundred have received aid from the University in loans and scholarships in the past twenty years. A few students are selected by the authorities as waiters at Commons. Otherwise all opportunities available in the University and town must be secured by the personal effort of the individual, or with the assistance of the Faculty Committee on Self-Help. They are not assigned by the President.

DORMITORY ACCOMMODATIONS.

The University buildings contain one hundred and seventy-four unfurnished double rooms, available for the accommodation of students. There is no charge for service in addition to the rent. All rooms are fitted with electric lights. Room rent ranges from 75 cents to $2.75 per month for each occupant, the price depending on the location of the room.

All the buildings of the University are heated by hot water according to the most improved methods. In the dormitories the charge for heating and light will be $2.00 per month for each room.
