University Of Tennessee.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept. IA, 1896.
To young persons out of employment
and seeking an education:
Owing to the general depression of
business, many of you are, at the pres
ent time, out of employment. While
out OF work or only partially employed
there is one way in which you can save
your time. Spend it in getting an
education or preparing for some trade
or profession in which you can earn
more hereafter, Your time is your
best property, and under no circum-
stances can you afford to spend it in
idleness. Invest it in an education and
it will be well saved. BY taking some
trifiing position, or, still worse, by
idling your time away, you depreciate
yourself in the estimation of every
body. Better do ANYTHING than be
idle, but it is far better to go to college
than spend your time in Improbable
work.
All who are prepared to enter our
classes are heartily invited to come to
the State University. 1t offers you free
tuition, with the best opportunities for
getting u liberal or practical education,
for about the same expense now re-
quired to sustain you at home, you can
come to college and use your time
proftably.
Special arrangements have been
made to reduce students expenses this
session. Operating its own dormitories
and boarding house, the University is
able to offer good and healthful living
at very moderate rates. At the new
Farm Home lodgings, board, and
washing are provided at nine dollars
(S9) per month, OIL thirty cents (8Oc)
per day. In the regular dormitories
on the Hill, board, lights, fuel, and
washing may be had at thirteen dol
lars and fifty cents 1913. so per month,
or forty five cents doc per day. The
new buildings will accommodate sixty
additional persons.
You caa not afford to throw away
your time. Use it here in getting an
education. You can not afford to stay
at home or be idle, when such oppor.
~tunities are here offered.
Sincerely your friend,
CHAs. w. DABNEY, JR., President.
