by the President of the University, and a House Committee, elected by the members; also a House Counselor, selected from the Faculties of the University by the members of the House. The membership of the House is determined by election, and each House is self-governing under the general control of the University.

The cost of rooms in the dormitories is from $20 to $75 per quarter of twelve weeks. This includes heat, light, and care. Each hall for women has separate dining-hall and parlors. The cost of table-board in these halls is $4.50 per week, with a minimum of fifty dollars for any quarter, all payable in advance at the opening of the quarter.

All applications for rooms, or for information concerning rooms and board within or without the quadrangles, should be made to the Cashier. For further details see special circulars as to rooms and board, which will be sent on application.

B.

ACCOMMODATIONS OUTSIDE THE UNIVERSITY

The University, through the Housing Bureau, renders personal assistance to students who have not secured rooms in the residence Halls. Upon arrival at the University, students should apply at once to the Housing Bureau, Room 1, Press Building, for a list of inspected and approved rooms and boarding-houses.

Incoming students are especially cautioned against strangers who approach them at the depot or on the streets and offer their services in securing rooms. Renting by mail is not satisfactory. There are always more rooms on the list than will be occupied, and consequently there is always a choice.

Students living outside the Halls are not permitted to room in any building in which a family does not reside.

Women students are not permitted to live where there is no reception room for their use.

To accommodate married students and those wishing to keep house, the University has provided a building of small unfurnished flats of 2, 3, 4, and 5 rooms. Information concerning these can be obtained from the office of the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds.

C. GENERAL EXPENSES

The following table will furnish an estimate of the annual expenses for thirtysix weeks of a student in the University.

It is believed that students who find it necessary to reduce expenses below the lowest of these estimates can do so. By application to the Housing Bureau, rooms outside the quadrangles, furnished, heated, lighted, and cared for, may be obtained at from $1.50 a week upward. This rate is obtainable, as a rule, when

two or more students room together. Room and board in private houses are offered from $6 per week upward. The University Commons, Hutchinson Hall, offers to students meals à la carte. Lexington Commons for women offers meals à la carte during the Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters. During the Summer Quarter the University Commons is open to both men and women.

Students who receive assignments to such service are employed a limited number of hours as clerks or messengers in the various offices of the University. Compensation takes the form of a cash payment, made after the service has been rendered. Members of the University Choir and Band receive concessions in their fees proportioned to the amount and quality of the service they render. Students may also secure free table-board by serving as waiters in the University Commons.
