EXPENSES.

The total cost of a year at Emory is as low as that of any first class college on this continent-lower than most. It has not seemed wise to the authorities of the institution to weaken its teaching force in order to make tuition free to all, but rather to grant such help to those only who really need it.

But while it advertises no "free tuition," board (a much larger item than tuition in a college course) is so low in Oxford, and the expenses arising from the social surroundings of the College (which cannot be stated in a catalogue, but are often heavily felt by the student) are so small, the annual expenses of a student at Emory College, exclusive of clothing, can be brought within $200. The following schedule gives the rate of board, tuition, books, etc:

Board in "Helping Hall" $8.00 to $10.00 per month.

A full supply of Text-books used in the Institution is kept onsale at the College at publishers' prices. For further information, write to the President,
