this, they have obtained from the Proctor and Pa
iron a stalemenlfrom his books, showing tie actu-
al cfpcnditmre of each OF the resident graduates
of the present session. From this number they
have selected six, comprising one Of the highest
and one Of the lowest grade Of expenditure, with
four others exhibiting a lair general average. ard
have caused the subject oi expenditure 10 be
shown in detail.

Of the present session. are shown by an average,
designating them by their respective schools.
9Th iateinen referred 10 Is exhibited with this
report.
The aggregate Of expense &c each student,
thus practically stated, the committee cannot be.
lieve will be deemed eS,ravagant; nor do they
see where any rational reduction can b. made
| Still, from desire 10 prune down The expenses 10
the lowest scale consistent with the welfare Of The
institution; and believing that il may he done as
far as now indicated, they recommend that the
| price of board be re,,ile.i 10 one hundred dollars
ior the session, and that the commissions on de-
| posi.es OF the students be limited 10 sums deposit
ed for payment of board and Professors fees, and
| hat said commissions be no longer charged 10
