In discussing the expense of a college education at Princeton, the Princetonian says: "In the catalogue, this year, the minimum average and maximum expenditure of the students will be stated as $290, $400, and $700 respectively; and every one who has been a member of this institution knows, from personal observation, that these figures are approximately correct. In the estimate just quoted, tuition is included, but since nearly one-half of the students are excused from paying it, more properly it should be deducted. Thus making the minimum $225, and the average $325. It is difficult to see what arrangement could be more reasonable or satisfactory than this. Nor does the present cost differ materially from that of ten years ago. There is only one item which has changed, viz., the price of rooms. In 1873, the highest rent charged in the College buildings was $85, while now the maximum is $175. This, however, is in a measure, offset by the present price on the other extreme, which is $25, as against $30 ten years ago. It should be remembered, also, that there are only half a dozen rooms which are rented for $175."
