The course for the present winter (1906-7), will be more concrete 

 than the former one, with fewer teachers and fewer general subjects, but 

 vnth more personal work and an effort to go farther in the various topics. 



If there is a possibility that you may attend the Winter-Courses, we 

 shall be glad to hear from you and will answer questions which you may 

 wish to ask concerning the course. 



Do not make a mistake concerning the dates. In previous years the 

 Winter-Course has opened the first of January. This year it begins 

 December 6, and closes a month earlier. 



Registration. — On Thursday, Dec. 6, 9 to 11 a. m., report to the 

 instructor in charge of your work for registration. This is simply the 

 mapping out of the work which you are to take during the winter. 



Expenses. — Tuition is free to residents of New York State. Prac- 

 tically the only expense is the cost of living in Ithaca and the railroad 

 fare to and from Ithaca. Satisfactory table-board can be secured in 

 Ithaca, within five to ten minutes' walk of the campus, from $3.50 to 

 $4.50 per week. Comfortable rooms near the place of boarding may be 

 had at $1.50 to $2.50 per week, when two persons occupy the rooms, and 

 $1.50 to $3 when one person occupies the room. 



All the courses are open to both men and women of seventeen years 

 of age and upwards. A number of women have taken the work in the 

 other courses ; and as men are interested in home-making, the course 

 in Home Economics is well adapted to them.
