Fees, Expenses, Etc.

The fees for instruction, etc., at the School of Mines and Metallurgy, are the same as at the other departments of the University, viz: An annual entrance fee of §10, besides an assessment of $5 per term for incidentals and for the use of the library. Special students are subject to the same charges; all laboratory students furnish their own blow pipes, platinum, crucibles and apparatus, silver and gold solutions, and pay for gas and fuel consumed and for apparatus damaged or broken.

A deposit of $5 per term covering the value of the apparatus and chemicals issued, is required to be placed in the hands of the Treasurer by each laboratory student. This deposit less the value of material consumed, is returned at the close of the year.

The exercises of the drawing room require also a small expenditure, annually, for materials. Text-books and all requisite materials for students can be procured in Rolla, either from dealers, or, in the case of chemical apparatus, from the school, at the usual rates.

A fee of $5 must be paid, before graduation, for the degree; a fee of $1 for the preparatory certificate.

Good boarding at places approved by the Faculty can be obtained at from $3.50 to $4.00 per week.

A convenient and commodious boarding-house has been provided for, where accommodations are furnished to students at cost. A member of the Faculty, with his family, resides in the house, thus furnishing the advantage of a pleasant home at the minimum expense, the average monthly expense for the last year for board, room, fuel and light having been $10.60.
