Addenda

Admission was by certificate mostly. Tuition was $96 yearly. Entrants receiving one of the $7O scholarships could settle his tuition bill for $26. Room rent was cheap. I paid $35 a year. Others paid more of course, and possibly some paid even less. Table board ranged in price from $2.85 per week to $6. As I remember it, at some of the tables the food was blessed before eating and cussed a bit afterwards, not so much because of the cooking, but because of its clock-like monotony. Nevertheless, our appetites wtere sharp and there were few dyspeptics among us. Perhaps these tidbits will furnish us with table-gossip when we eat together in June.
