In my iud gment, after a careful iuvestiga-
ton. | think 1t VIII be best for students TO cal
culate that their actual outlay OF money per
gear wiu be from seventy-tiye to one hundred
dollars. The College being an industrial one,
all students are requlred to work at manual Ia
Dor for tlree hours each day, for i've days IN the

In remua Grafton fer this work faithful
rendered, they paid eight cents an hour.

Industrious young man by working more

days, Will reduce his expenses TO nominal
sum and below the amount Indicated Some
Young men at similar Colleges pay all their
expenses in this way, bat these are exceptional
cases.
However if students during their vacation
can and will teach school, or remain GA the
College farm. and work, or otherwise employ
themselves, il IL within the reach Of any de

ing the period of life, when habits and tastes /

the work and duties on the farm. But to ac- |
complish the objects OF the College, 1t Is evil
dent that the student must not in acquiring
scientific education lose either the ability or |
the disposition to labor on the farm. II The
farmers then are to be educated, they must be
educated on the farm itself, ana 1t Is due TO
this large class of our population, that f1clh-
ties for Improvement second to none other IN
the State, be afforded them

Students contempt ating entering the College
can get half rates on rall roads by getting a

All young men intending to enter the Col
