of good character and scholarship will give preference over other applicants equally deserving. Students are required to work not less than two hours in winter, and three in summer, and each student will receive compensation therefore, and no student shall be exempt. from such labor, except in case of sickness or other inability. They are paid for their labor at its value to the College, the rate per hour varying from three to nine cents. Students pay actual cost for board, fires, lights, laundry, use of musical instruments, damages to the property of the College, when caused by themselves, a fair part of the chemicals consumed by themselves, care and general repairs of the College buildings and furniture, and for such other incidental expenses as especially belong to them as a body. Students pay nothing for tuition and rent, nor for the general expenses of the College. They will, each one, be required to deposit ten dollars with the cashier, on entering the College, as security for the payment of his bills."
"Students supply themselves with bedding and towels, and with carpets, if they desire them. All other furniture, including mattresses, is supplied by the College. A fair estimate for a year may be set down as follows:
| "For board thirty-six weeks, at $3 per week, | $108 | $108 |
| "For laundry from | 5 to | 15 |
| "For fire and lights | 9 | 9 |
| "For repairs and incidental expenses | 9.00 | 9.00 |
| "For books and stationery | 10.00 | 20.00 |
| ———— | ———— | |
| Total expenses per year | $141.00 | $161.00 |
"Students' earnings vary with their age, health, strength and previous knowledge and skill, the time they devote to labor, and their general efficiency. The past year students have earned, in some instances, as much as $120, and have by economy, fully paid their College expenses. An average of earnings for the past year, (1870,) has been fifty-four dollars, including the young, sick, and the inexperienced."
The corners proper to the Farm of 648 acres were fixed by the writer hereof, November, 1867, at the request of the Superintendent, Hon. H. M. Thompson. The stones for the corners were nicely dressed, and about five by eight inches square at the top with an X cut thereon. The stone are of the same kind of material as those in the College building, and was dressed by the workmen on the building for the express purpose of being used in the corners of the Farm.
One and one-quarter miles west of this farm are the villages of New Philadelphia and Ontario. The former is in Washington Township—the latter in Franklin Township. New Philadelphia was laid off in April 1856, on the east half of the northeast quarter section 6 and three blocks of section 5, township 82, range 24. For
