Large Colleges Most Expensive

Much discussion has come up recently as to the comparative cost between the small and the large colleges. There have been some statistics prepared of three representative large colleges: Yale, Harvard and Princeton, and three of the smaller colleges: Lehigh, Amherst and Dartmouth and these statistics show that the cost in the smaller colleges is slightly less than that given at the University Commons. The average cost of all the rooms was taken into consideration. In the last two of these expenses the exact amount will depend almost wholly upon the individual.

The statistics are as follows:   Yale  Harvard  Princeton Tuition,  $155  $150  $160 Board,  190  200  180 Room,  150  140  140 Light, fuel,  --  --  39 Totals,  $495  $490  $519   Dartmouth  Amherst  Lehigh Tuition,  $140  $140  $144 Board,  185  190  180 Room,  120  55  130 Light, fuel,  --  15  -- Totals,  $445  $400  $454
