"Students' Expenses."

In response to numerous inquiries as to whether it is feasible for a man to work his way through Harvard, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences has recently issued a pamphlet on "Students' Expenses." The pamphlet contains an introduction by the Secretary, and letters from students now in the University, which give estimates of their expenses and receipts in previous years."

Any man, writes the Secretary, who is healthy and industrious, who is well prepared for college work and has sufficient money for the necessary expenses of his first year, should be able to support himself during the remainder of his college course. Tuition, board, and may be estimated at $300 annually, and although there are many expenses which every man must regulate for himself, with careful economy strictly necessary expenses need not exceed $400: Every student should have this sum or a large part of it before entering, for, without it he is obliged during the first year to do work which draws him away from his studies and may prevent him from earning a scholarship.

One way in which men may obtain money to help them through College is from scholarships, prizes, and awards from the Price Greenleaf, Beneficiary and Loan Funds. Another way is by obtaining work through the Appointments Office. A list is given of 50 different kinds of work which students secured from this office during the last year.

The second part of the pamphlet contains a number of letters written by students in response to a request that they should give others the benefit of their experience. Many letters express the opinion that it is better for a man to work a year before entering college rather than to come here without resources, but nearly all agree that after a year spent in college a man should be capable of earning enough to meet all necessary expenses.
