There are at least twenty students at

college education in large city and at
the same time enjoying all the advan.

These are to be found at 81 and SO

There is no green-eyed monster of fe-
male shape there to rake in the shekels
on mysterious delicacies. The boys live
on the best of the market, and it is not
an expensive rate, either. In their
unique plan q commissary is appointed
who makes tho purchases and attends
to all the necessities of the dining.room,
In return for which he is exempt from
board bill.
The actual expense of the week is
added up at the end of each week and
apport!oned equally among the feeders.

greeable ingredients that 60 to make

In short, they have ''all the comforts

Accommodations equal to those at

at least So per week. 1t is estimated
that IS per week would cover all ex-
penses of room and board, the board
averaging something like $3.50 each
week.
The acconmoda ations of the house are
much too small now, after three years
trial of the club, and next fall the
students will be located in more COM

There is also some talk of uniting
