HARVARD.
The corresponding secretary OF Harvard writes:
1t Is always difficult to answer In any way def
initely questions In regard TO the expense OF living
here Except that all college students alike are
obliged 10 pay the tuition fee OF $780, there Is no
expense which does not vary according TO the
needs, habits and character OF the student. A
student has TO my knowledge gone through the
college TO his satisfaction spending only 1900
a year. This included his tuition fee and all the
expenses for the academic year. From this ex-
cesslvey low estimate OF the expenses necessary
there arises scale of expenditure varying, as |
have said above according TO the needs. HABITS and
character Of the individual student. You In your
letter ask especially for the expenses OF the
student who enters thoroughly into the college nfe
here-beongs to societies and helps 10 support
student organizations. Since statistics or this
sort have been lately collected. II is Impossible
for me TO answer the question with any absolute
accuracy. / think II probable. however that the
average student who belongs to societies ana enters
into college life generally spends about Woo year
do not think that the average expense OF stu
dents here is so much that but the average ex-
pense OF who enters into society life should
say was just about that.
The Harvard catalogue gives the following taole
OF four scales of annual expenses:
