Expenses for clothing, laundry and sundri~s vary greatly with the individual, who can, therefore, better estimate them for himself. College fees, boarding, room rent, and ~ost of _text-books vary with the locality. Consequently, _the f_ollowi.ng estimates are based upon these items. In the years m which science courses are taken from ten to twenty dollars must be added for laboratory fees, and f~om three to ten dollars for breakage in courses in chemistry. PAGE 'rWENTY-FIVE
