EXPENSES. 



The necessary expenses of a State student, including a uniform suit, do not exceed 

 $150 for the session of ten months, of which $60 are needed at the time c.f entrance. 

 The expenses of a pay student are $45 more (for tuition and college fees, $40; for 

 room rent, $5), one-half of which must be paid in advance, and the remainder at the 

 beginning of the second half-session.* 



Table board can be had at $10 per month, and by messing the cost may be reduced. 

 Board and lodging in Blacksburg may be had for $13 per month, which includes 

 room rent, fuel, and furniture. 



A plain and substantial gray uniform, costing $17.25, has been adopted, and each 

 student is required to provide himself with it as soon as he enters the college. As it 

 takes the place of a suit of clothes, it really adds nothing to the expenses. 



At the time of matriculation, each student must deposit with the Treasurer $5 as a 

 contingent fee to cover damages to the property. Any balance remaining to his credit 

 trill be returned to him at the close of the session. 



The rooms in the college building being unfurnished, students who desire to occupy 

 them, without increasing their expenses, should bring the necessary articles of fur- 

 niture from home ; but those who prefer to do so can buy furniture here on reasonable 

 terms. When two occupy a room, the cost to each is from $10 to $12; but the articles 

 may be sold at the end of the session at a small reduction from cost. 



The importance of reducing the expenses to the lowest possible point is fully re- 

 cognized. A portion of the students have the opportunity of paying a part of their 

 expenses by labor on the farm or in the workshops. 



CURRICULUM. 



A curriculum has been adopted to which (unless excused by the Faculty for sjx'cial 

 reasons) every student will be required to confine himself, except that in the Senior 

 year there will be two parallel courses, one for farmers and the other for mechanics. 

 Students who are properly prepared may enter advanced classes. Provision is made 

 for the study of Latin and Greek, though they are not a part of the prescribed 

 curriculum.
