Using songs to be used in a concert

Library Extension.
The library located at the Univer-
sity is not limited in its benefits to
the students of the University, but
has always been willing and generous
in helping high school students and
others by the use of books. Within
the last month especially there have
been a large number of calls from the
high schools of the state for books
to be used in the preparation of de
bates and orations. These calls have
all received courteous attention and
much help has been given in this way

connection the University Library is

Ball Team Beats Marshall.
The ball season opened up with
very favorable prospects for West Vir-
ginia University. The first game with
Marshall was hotly contested, but re-
suited in a victory for the University
in the tenth inning. The score stood
to 8. The heavy batting by Thorn
as was easily the feature of the game.
The second game played with Mar.
shall on the following day found the
West Virginia University team rear.
ranged and more confident of success.
The score, 10 to 2, indicates the ease
with which the local boys admins
tered defeat to the visiting team. The
team left Sunday night for series of

University Exhibit at Wheeling.
President Hodges has appointed a
committee of five to take charge Of
and arrange for the educational ex.
hibit to be shown at the Wheeling
Semi-Centennial. 1t is probable that
a somewhat extensive display will be
arranged showing some of the more
interesting phases of the work of the
plans have not been formulated as
yet.
One entire building at the Centen-
NAL grounds will be devoted to educa.
tional affairs, but this space must be
divided up among several branches of
the state educational system and the
amount available for any one institu.
ton may be somewhat limited. The
entire exhibit, however, will be we'll
worth seeing.
College Expenses at West Virginia.
The Athenaeum of recent date con-
tanned very interesting article on
college expenses in which a compare.
tive review was made Of the average
necessary expenses per year incident
upon attending college. Expenses are
divided into three classes: First, those
necessary to meet the charges of the
institution for instruction, including
tuition, matriculation, laboratory fees,
cost of books, ETC.; second, the cost
o. living, and third, other expenses,
including cost of clothing, pleasure,
etc. The third item, which must al
ways be reckoned, Is Of such variable
character that it is left out of the
comparison.
1t is shown that, considering the
necessary expenses of a college course,
students can attend West Virginia Uni
versity at a much lower cost than
most of the Eastern universities and
colleges. The estimated cost for the
first two items of expense at West Vir.
ginia University is between $40 and
$219 Students, who are state cadets,
receive free tuition and text books
At V. p. /. the minimum cost to Vir.
ginia students is $225, and to those
from other states $275. At Washing
ton and Lee the minimum cost will
reach at $3.50, and at Washington and
Jefferson the advertised total cost
from 1921 to 1854. At the University
o. Virginia the necessary expenses
are estimated from 1920 to 1886 fol
residents of the state and from S345
tc $3.50 for non-residents. Students
at Pennsylvania State College by TAX
ing advantage of the Commons may
reduce the necessary expenses to $780,
The advertised expenses at some OF
the larger institutions are as follows:
University Of Pennsylvania, s345 to
$50; Princeton, $780, $780, Colum
bia, average, 1868; Brown, minimum
s423; Harvard, 1924 to 1854; and Cor
nell, 1925 to $3.50. Many of the large
Western universities charge only 9
nominal tuition fee. At Ohio State the
advertised expenses are from 1875 tc
$500; at Indiana, from $3.50 to $3.50; al
the University Of Kansas, from 1856 tc
$3.50; and at Michigan, from s4O0 tt
$500.
