EPUB

sence, the student is not allowed to make up the recitation omitted, and receives 0 for it.

Recitations, except in elective subjects, are marked on a scale of 100, and the average standing of each student is made up at the end of each term, and sent to his parent or guardian. A mark at examination counts as much as one-third of the term's work up to the time of examination.

In elective courses the only official statement of work done is the announcement at the end of each term in each student's report, that he has passed "high," "medium," or "low," or has "failed." The marks given in elective work are not made public, and do not enter into the ordinary computation of grade. They serve only for the guidance of the professors concerned, and of the Faculty in determining the class honors at graduation.

If any student shall at any time be found deficient in his daily recitations or at the examination, in any of his studies, his case will be reported to the Faculty, and such action by way of discipline will be taken as may be deemed necessary.

If the grade for the term's work previous to the examination, in any subject, fall below 60 per centum of the maximum, the student will be conditioned in that subject. If the grade in an examination in any subject fall below 60 per centum of the maximum, the student fails to pass the examination.

If any student's average grade for the first or second term falls below 60 per centum of the maximum, he will lose his standing in his class and be required to fall back a year in the course.

If any student's average grade for the third term falls below 60 per centum of the maximum, he will lose his standing in his class unless all his deficiencies shall be removed on or before the opening day of the next College year.

Any student who has failed to remove all his deficiencies on or before the opening day of the College year, will lose his standing in his class. If he fails to remove all his deficiencies on or before the first Saturday after the opening of College, he will not be reinstated in his class, and will be required to fall back a year in the course.

For the removal of deficiencies a regular schedule of examinations is fixed.

SCHOLARSHIPS.

To students holding State scholarships under the act of 1864, and those holding scholarships at large (see page 20), the charge of $75.00 a year for tuition will be remitted; but not the charge for public-room service or the special fees. This reduces the minimum and maximum estimates for general expenses to $210.00 and $282.00, respectively.

To students holding State scholarships under the act of 1890, as amended by the act of 1905 (see page 21), the charges for tuition, and also those for public-room service and all special fees, are remitted. This reduces the minimum and maximum estimates for general expenses to $180.00 and $252.00, respectively.

REMARK

All College bills are payable within ten days after the beginning of each term, one-third of each annual charge or fee being due each term. All checks should be made payable to the Treasurer of Rutgers College.

ADDITIONAL EXPENSES

The preceding estimates do not include books, clothes, traveling expenses, etc., as these depend upon circumstances and the habits of the individual.

Students in the Scientific Courses are required to procure sets of draughting instruments, costing from $10 to $20. They are advised to defer the purchase of these instruments until entering College, as they will then have the advantage of procuring them under the direction of the Professor of Graphics.

Students pursuing the Course in Chemistry and the Course in Electricity are expected to provide themselves, at their own expense, with the necessary sets and pieces of apparatus, which may be obtained from the regular apparatus dealers or from the Laboratory Supplies Department. These sets are retained through the year, but at the end of that time, if the owners do not wish to keep them, they will be purchased at a fair price. If proper care has been exercised, a small discount only (about 10 per centum) from the original cost will be made. All breakage and damage to College apparatus will be charged in full.

UNIFORM.—A military uniform, consisting of cap, blouse, and trousers, of dark blue cloth, has been adopted, the cost of which is about $14.00, or considerably less than that of a good suit of civilian's clothes. The entire suit is neat and serviceable, and, while required to be worn at drills, may be worn on any occasion.

SHORT COURSES IN AGRICULTURE

Tuition is free to residents of New Jersey; non-residents pay a tuition fee of $25.00. There will be an entrance fee of $5.00 to cover incidental expenses in laboratory work, use of apparatus and instruments and breakage. Practically the only expense of the course will be the cost of living in New Brunswick and the railroad fare to and from the city. Comfortable rooms, with table board, can be obtained within ten to fifteen minutes' walk of the Agricultural Building for from four to six dollars per week. The cost of books need not be more than $5.00, but it would be well, if possible, to allow a larger sum for them, as many not required would be useful for students and should be a part of their home. libraries. The total expenses of the course may, therefore, range from $60.00 to $100.00, and should not exceed an average of $75.00 for each student.

The required entrance fee must be paid to the Treasurer of the College on the opening day.

ROOMS AND BOARD AT THE COLLEGE

The following schedule gives the weekly rental for each occupant of the respective rooms in Winants Hall, and no more may occupy any suite than is indicated in parenthesis after the room numbers. One student occupying a double room, or two students occupying a room intended for three, will be charged the full rental for the suite.

The large study-rooms are each furnished with two study-tables and two chairs. The bedrooms are each furnished with a solid-oak set, consisting of bedstead (springs and mattress), bureau and washstand. The remaining furniture, such as sheets, pillows, pillow-cases, coverlets, towels, bowl and pitcher, etc., are to be supplied by the occupant. The schedule of prices for single rooms and suites of rooms includes heat and gaslight.

Rooms are to be taken for the full year. Rent is payable in advance, one-third at the beginning of each term. Agreement to pay rent is for the entire suite, and must be signed by the student who draws it, or his guardian. Rooms may be occupied from the Monday preceding the opening of the College year to the Saturday following Commencement.

In drawing for choice of rooms, the order of classes will be followed, precedence being given to the Seniors.

The drawing for choice of rooms for the year 1907-1908 will take place in the Registrar's office on Wednesday, 5th June, 1907, at 2.30 P. M.

During the present year board is furnished by the matron at $3.50 a week.

It will be seen from the foregoing statements and schedule that board, lodging, heat and light may be had in Winants Hall at a cost varying from $4.50 to $5.00 a week.

Accommodations may be found elsewhere at about the same rates; but the Faculty are empowered to pass such regulations relative to the number of boarders in each house as they think proper, and students are permitted to board only at such places as are approved by them.
