UNIVERSITY NEWS LETTER

1ueTe are more SLuuouLS 1IOm MILL
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 catalog covering the
facts of the school year 1914-15, and
also announcements for 1856 has
recently been published. The catalog
is neat-appearing document of 3St
pages with good print and excellent
arrangement. It ranks we'll with
other university publications around
the country. Copies of the book may
be secured from the registrar at the
university.
A large number Of interesting points
concerning the university of North Da
kota are brought out through care
full study of the catalog. The matte,
of expense in college education in
North Dakota, the geographical dis
tribution of students, the proportion OF
men and women, and the representa-
ton in different departments of the
university work are few of the inter
esting 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 of the fact that practi'
cally all the opportunities Of the larger
eastern institutions are offered. In
the summary of general expenses
which includes the naturalization fee
the room rent, cost of board, estimated
cost of books, etc., the total is given
as $210.25. This figure does not in
clude laundry bills and such personal
expenses as are, of course, necessary
to any student. This figure shows that
the actual expense of education in
North Dakota is very reasonable.
Another important item in connec.
ton with university matters is the
geographical distribution of students
now attending the university. Only
five counties in the state are unrep
resented at the university. Several

number of representatives. Grand

nois with 4, Montana with Z, Wiscon
sin with 6. Thirteen other states have

in the different colleges of the univer
sity and the university at large is an
interesting point. In the graduate de
partment there are six men and one
woman. In the college of liberal arts
