nesota attending the University of
North Dakota today than there are
students from North Dakota attending
the University of Minnesota. This is
due partly to the respective locations
OF the two universities. 1t is partly
due also to the rapid growth and the
opportunities which are now offered
in the State of North Dakota.
The university catlog covering the
facts of the school year 1855 and
also announcements for 1856 has
recently been published. The catalog
is a neat appearing document of 1856
pages with good print and excellent
arrangement. 1t ranks well with 9TH
er university publications around the
country. Copies of the book may be
secured from the registrar at the uni
versity.
. Distribution Of Students.
A large number of interesting
points concerning the University of
North Dakota are brought out through
a careful study of the catal0g. The
matter of expense in college educa.
ton in North Dakota, the geographic
cal distribution OF students, the pro-
portion of men and women, and the
representation in different depart
ments of the university work are g
few of the interesting features.
People in the state are always in
terested in the necessary expenses
connected with college education.
The expense of an education at the
University of North Dakota is very
low, in spite the fact. that practf-
;cally all of the opportunities of the
larger eastern Institutes are offered.
In the summary Of general expenses,
which includes the naturalization fee,
the room rent, cost of board, estimat-
ed cost of books, etc, the total is
given as $21O25. This figure does
not include laundry bills and such per
sonal expenses as are, of course, ne.
cessary to any student. This figure
shows that the actual expense of edu.
cation in North Dakota is very reason
able. H."

geographical distribution Of students
now attending the university. Only
