Discipline:

In the government of the University, the President and the Faculty rely chiefly upon the sense of duty of the students. The student is expected to pursue his studies with diligence, to attend classes regularly, to live morally, and maintain good behavior. The removal of those who fail to meet these requirements is demanded in the interest of the University. Students are under the direct supervision of the University only when on the Campus, but they are responsible for their conduct wherever they may be.

Directions for Students:

I. New students should first satisfy the requirements for entrance. This should be done before paying entrance fees. Persons who have not had their certificates approved by the Committee on Entrance as indicated on page 59 should present themselves for examination. For time of examinations, see page 58.

2. After passing the entrance examinations students should present their credits to the Committee on Entrance who will issue them entrance cards to the Department they desire to enter if they have credits for sufficient units. Similar entrance cards will be issued by the Committee on Entrance to those students whose certificates have been approved by such Committee.

3. After receiving their entrance cards, students must pay their entrance fees to the Treasurer.

4. The Treasurer's receipt should be at once presented to the Secretary, who will enroll the student's name and give him his study-card, with necessary instructions for proceeding further.

5. If assistance is needed in obtaining board, men should apply to Professor M. L. Lipscomb. Women must in every case consult with the Adviser of Women, Miss Mary Elizabeth Lewis, before completing any arrangements for rooms or table board.

STUDIES.

Regulations in Regard to Studies:

No student in any Department of the University may have more than 18 hours a week in the lecture room.

Academic students are expected to spend not less than 12 nor more than 16 hours a week at lectures or recitations.

One hour in the lecture-room is considered the equivalent of two and one-half hours in the laboratory, the drawing-room, or the shops.

Class-cards taken out at entrance must be properly filled out and deposited with the Registrar within three days after they have been issued.

Students who enter the University in the first semester and wish to make any change in their class-cards for the second semester, are required to make such changes on or before the close of the first Wednesday of the second semester. Students that fail to comply with this requirement must pay a fee equal to one-half of the regular fees for the session, unless the delay has been clearly unavoidable and an excuse has been granted by the President.

Studies in Other Departments:

Students registered in one Department may, with the consent of their Dean, take work in other Departments if, in the judgment of the Professors concerned, they are prepared for such work. Students taking work in another Department than that in which they are registered are subject as respects this work to the rules of the Department in which the work belongs.

I. Instruction in Military Science and Tactics is open to men in all Departments, but it is counted towards no degree.

2. Students may take work in the Summer Session (see Appendix) and receive a credit therefor of seven hours for a term of eight weeks. No additional credit for summer work is allowed except by special permission of the Director of the Summer Session.

Graduate Studies:

See announcement of Graduate Department.

Examinations:

Examinations at the end of each semester close the studies pursued to that point.

Class Honors:

The honor of valedictorian is awarded in the various Departments to the student who has the highest average grade.

Reports:

From all Departments, except those of Law and Medicine, reports of students are sent, at the close of each semester, to the parents or guardians, showing their standing in the subjects that they are pursuing. The reports of students in Law and Medicine are sent out at the close of the session.

EXPENSES.

Fees and Deposits:

Students in the Academic Department, in the Teachers College, and in the school of Agriculture and in that of Engineering pay an entrance, library, and incidental fee of $5. A general laboratory fee of reasonable amount may be imposed in Engineering, in addition to the special fees for each laboratory-see Bulletin of this Department to be issued in August, 1905.

Students in the Departments of Law and Medicine (regular or special) pay $10 a year. It is barely possible that the University may have to increase these fees for 1905-see announcement of the Law Department to be issued in April and that of the Medical Department to be issued in June, 1905. Students entering late or leaving early will not be entitled to any reduction in the amount of the fee.

State Cadets in the Academic Department, in the Teachers College, in the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, or in the School of Engineering, pay no entrance, library and incidental fee, but make all the laboratory and other deposits required of other students.

Graduate students in any Department of the University pay an entrance, library and incidental fee of $5 a year, and make all the usual deposits. No student will be enrolled in the Graduate Department unless he is taking work which may count toward a graduate degree.

Any student who takes any work whatsoever in Law or Medicine must pay the full fee of the Department.

The student who has attained the highest rank in the graduating class of any Accredited School will be permitted to enter the Academic Department, or the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts or that of Engineering, or the Teachers College without the payment of the entrance, library and incidental fee for the first year. See Curators' Scholarships, pages 74-75.

No part of the entrance, library and incidental fee is remitted for late entrance or refunded for withdrawal.

Students entering a laboratory are required to make a deposit of from $5 to $10. From this amount there shall be deducted a fixed charge (in no case less than $1, for each individual laboratory course) and also all charges for materials used or for damages to or loss of University property. If the deposit is insufficient to cover all such charges, the student will be required to make an additional deposit or deposits. The remainder of any deposit, after payment of all charges, is refunded to the student at the end of his laboratory course in any session. University

Fellows and Scholars are exempt from making these deposits in the subjects in which they hold fellowships or scholarships.

Laboratory deposits and rent of rooms in the Dormitories must be paid to the Secretary of the University; all other fees must be paid at the Boone County National Bank, to the Treasurer of the University. All fees and deposits must be paid in advance.

Students who by reason of sickness enjoy the privileges of the Hospital will be charged a reasonable amount therefor. See announcement of the Hospital in this Catalogue.

Dormitories:

Dormitories for Men and University Boarding Club. The two Dormitories for men, Benton Hall and Lathrop Hall, lodge about 140 students, and meals can be furnished by the University Boarding Club, which is established in Lathrop Hall, to about 400.

Each room in Benton Hall is furnished with a double bedstead, a table and two chairs, and in Lathrop Hall with two single bedsteads, a table and two chairs. The occupants are expected to supply whatever else they deem necessary. The rooms are lighted with electric lights. The buildings are provided with a good system of steam and hot air heating and ventilation, and with closets and bath rooms.

Only two students will be allowed to occupy one room, except with the consent, specially given, of the Executive Board; and when three thus occupy one room, each must pay full room rent.

In these two Halls, the estimated cost of room rent, table permits and board varies, according to the room, from about $2.50 to about $3.00 a week.

The following charges are made by the University:

a. Room rent varies from $15 to $33 for a session of 38 weeks for each student, according to the location of the rooms. It includes the at

tention of servants.

An additional charge is made for electric lights which will be furnished at cost of same to the University by meter.

b. The fee for dining room permit is $15 a year.

Students who enter before October 15 will be charged the full amount. After October 15 a pro rata will be charged plus ten per cent of the pro

rata.

C. A caution deposit of $5 is made by each student who rents a room or receives a meal permit for the regular session, as security against damage to or loss of University property. This deposit is refunded at the close of the student's connection with the Dormitories or Club, provided all

charges made against him by the University for such damage or loss have been paid in full.

The above charges are payable on or before the first of September to the Secretary of the University.

Students in the Summer Session who rent rooms in Dormitories are charged one-third the rent of rooms for the regular session. All such students must make a caution deposit of $3, which is returned at the close of the term, if no damage has been done to University property.

Students in the Short Course in Agriculture who rent such rooms in the Dormitories as are vacant at the time of their entrance are charged therefor in the proportion which the length of their course of instruction bears to the entire session. Such students are charged $4 for a meal permit for the term of the course.

Board in the Dormitories for men is managed by the University Boarding Club, an organization of students who elect their own officers (except Commissary and Treasurer who are appointed by the Matron with the approval of the Club and the Dormitory Board); levy and collect all assessments; buy their own provisions; and thus regulate their own expenses.

A Matron is employed by the University to supervise the housekeeping and the preparation and serving of meals.

The Club charges each student an initiation fee of $1. This fee is also required of students in the Short Course in Agriculture.

By special consent of the Secretary of the University, students who do not rent rooms in the Dormitories, may be allowed to take meals at the Club table upon the payment of the meal permit of $15.

On no account will any person not duly matriculated in the University, or any person without a permit from the Secretary of the University, be allowed to receive table board in the Club.

No part of the amount paid for room rent or meal permits is refunded when students sever their connection with the Dormitories or Club, but with the consent of the Secretary of the University they may rent their rooms or assign their permits to others.

Order in the Dormitories for men is maintained by Monitors, appointed by the Curators, who report any disorder to the Dormitory Board, consisting of the chairman of the Committee on Student Affairs, the Secretary of the University, the Dean of the Academic Department, the Adviser of Women, and Professor L. M. Defoe.

The University reserves the right to make changes in the rates given above before the opening of the next session.
