The detailed expense account of Greenleaf Clark '55 while a Dartmouth student was recently presented to the College by his niece, Harriet F. Gage, wife of Herbert E. Gage '87. Nathaniel H. Barrows 'OO and Nathaniel H. Barrows Jr. '29 are respectively grand-nephew and grand-grandnephew of Mr. Clark, who died in 1904, the same year in which he received an honorary LL.D. degree from the College.

The Clark account shows that the total expense for all four years at Dartmouth, from 1851 through 1855, was $848.36. This total is made up of $170.00 for freshman year, $189.70 for sophomore year, $206.66 for junior year, and $282.00 for senior year. At that time the College year was divided into three terms, and the account book discloses that tuition was $12.00 a term, while board for a similar period ran to about $18.OO and laundry to about $2.00.
