hdN uS III case OF poverty.
Engineering students, $50.
TO those paying laboratory fees, SIS.
In addition to the above 1t goes with
out saying that all of these institutions
charge fees for material consumed in the
laboratory. Thus. in Nebraska a student
pays flat fee of S for chemistry l. In
Ohio he would pay for similar course a
flat fee of 81 for the use Of gas. water,
etc, and in addition to this he would buy
card for IS on which the value of the
material used would be punched. Thus
at the end of the semester he might have
a balance due him, or he might have used
up several cards. In the University of
Wisconsin the deposit for a course in
chemistry runs from SIS to SIS, with a re-
turnable balance. Experience shows,
however, that the cost is higher than in
Nebraska, the reason being that the stu
dents have more and better apparatus
to work with. In addition to the tuition
paid at Yale, a full course in chemistry
costs laboratory fee of $45. In Harvard
the chemistry fee is from $12 to S26, and
students are liable to go much above this
amount for the use OF material and for
breakage.
