 shall be required, to take the room which may be assigned to 
 him by lot in the group in which he has made application. 
 
 d. Each drawing shall begin with the first group and 
 proceed from that group through the other groups success- 
 ively in the order given above. Any applicant who does 
 not obtain a room in the group to which he first asked to be 
 assigned ma}^ be allowed to draw in any higher group.

 allotment, with this exception, that the rooms disposed of 
 by means of it may be classified as above or not, at the dis- 
 cretion of the Treasurer.

 draw for a double room. Every application for a double 
 room must give the names of two persons who intend to 
 occupy the room together and who undertake to be jointly 
 responsible for the rent of the same. 
 
 i. Whenever for any reason one of the occupants of a 
 double room is permitted or obliged to cancel his room 
 lease, the remaining occupant must vacate the room at the 
 end of the current academic term, unless he agrees to pay 
 the whole rent, or provide a room-mate who shall join him 
 in signing a new lease -for the remainder of the academic 
 year. 
 
 5. a. The tenure and liabilities of those to whom rooms 
 are assigned under these rules shall be the tenure and lia- 
 bilities expressed in the following lease, which must be

 is to occupy it, and by his parent or guardian. This lease 
 must be signed and deHvered to the Treasurer in each case 
 within ten days of the allotment, except in the case of new 
 students, provided for under Rule 4g. 
 
 This agreement, made the day of , 190 , 
 
 between the Trustees of Princeton University and 
 of , witnesseth, that the said Trustees of Prince- 
 
 ton University do hereby lease unto the said ■ Room 
 No. in the Entry of , to hold for the aca- 
 
 demic year of , paying therefor during the said 
 
 term unto the said Trustees of Princeton University the 
 yearly rent of $ in two equal payments, to be made

 academic year, the other within the first four weeks of the 
 second term of the academic year. 
 
 And the said covenants to pay the said 
 
 rent in the manner and at the times aforesaid, and to deliver 
 up the said premises to the said Trustees of Princeton Uni- 
 versity or its legal representative at the end of said term in 
 as good condition as the same now are or may be put into 
 by the said Trustees of Princeton University, reasonable 
 use and wear and tear thereof, and fire and other casualty 
 excepted. The said lessee also covenants that he will not 
 do or suffer to be done any damage in the leased premises, 
 and that, if any damage beyond reasonable wear and tear 
 be done, he will cause the same to be made good as soon as 
 possible at his own expense, eraploying for that purpose the 
 proper University workmen, and paying the cost thereof at 
 once to the University Treasurer, it being understood that 
 the damage here meant includes the breakage of glass 
 and locks, whether by accident or design. The said lessee 
 further covenants that he will not sublet the same or any 
 part thereof, nor permit any other person or persons to 
 occupy the same or any part thereof, nor make nor suffer to 
 be made any alteration therein without the consent of the 
 
ALLOTMENT AXD RENTAL OF ROOMS 7 
 
 said Trustees of Princeton University for that purpose in 
 writing first had and obtained. And the said lessee further 
 covenants that the said Trustees of Princeton University 
 through their authorized representative may enter the said 
 premises for the purpose of viewing or making improve- 
 ments therein at any reasonable times in the daytime, or at 
 any other time for the legitimate purposes of University 
 discipline. This lease is made on the express condition that 
 it may be terminated by said Trustees through their repre- 
 sentative. 
 
 6. Any occupant of a college room may retain his 
 room until the end of his undergraduate or graduate course, 
 provided he annually notify the Treasurer of his intention 
 of retaining it and sign' a new lease before the ist of May, 
 otherwise his room shall be considered vacant and shall be 
 included in the next allotment. In case an occupant of a 
 double room be left without a room-mate at the end of the 
 academic year, he may renew his lease upon condition of 
 naming another student of the University who will become 
 joint lessee with him for the following year, unless the room- 
 mate who leaves is a Senior or a fourth year special. It 
 shall also be the privilege of any occupant of a college room 
 to renew his lease at the end of his own tenure in the name 
 of his brother, when that brother is to enter the University 
 immediately. 
 
 c. The right to occupy a room is not transferable and 
 terminates with the expiration of the lease. Any attempt 
 on the part of the occupant of a college room to sell or 
 transfer, directly or indirectly, his right of occupancy shall 
 be deemed a fraudulent transaction. The penalty for vio- 
 lating this rule shall be forfeiture of the rooms by the new 
 lessee . 
 
 d. The occupant of a college room shall deposit with 
 the Curator the sum of 25 cents for each key to his room 
 that may be furnished him by the University ; and all 
 
8 PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 
 
 amounts paid under this clause shall be refunded upon 
 return of the key or keys furnished. 
 
 6. The Committee on Grounds and Buildings shall 
 engage a competent appraiser, not otherwise connected with 
 the University, to determine the value of all beds (bed- 
 steads, mattresses, and springs), chairs, tables, couches 
 (including window seats and divans), washstands, crockery, 
 bureaus, desks, carpets, and book-cases for sale in a room to 
 be vacated. His decision shall be final in every appraisal. 
 Under the general direction of the Treasurer, it shall be 
 the duty of the appraiser to estimate separately the value 
 of each of the above articles so offered for sale and to 
 deposit with the Treasurer a complete list for each room of 
 the articles appraised, with their' several values afi&xed. 
 The owner shall not be permitted, under any pretext, to 
 sell to his successor any article for more than the appraised 
 valuation. If he does not wish to sell at so low a price, 
 then he must remove his property from the room. If his 
 successor does not wish to purchase at appraised valuation, 
 he may order that the property be removed from the room. 
 All payments for appraised furniture in a room vacated or 
 transferred must be made through the Treasurer's office, 
 but nothing in the rules shall be construed to create a 
 liability on the part of the University for damaged or 
 missing articles. All articles not in the above list must be 
 removed from the room within two weeks after such room 
 is vacated. 
 
 7. No exchange of rooms shall be allowed unless for- 
 mally sanctioned in writing by the Treasurer; and then 
 only upon terms explicitly stated in a written application 
 signed by both parties to the proposed exchange, and not 
 in contravention of the spirit of these rules. Such appli- 
 cations shall be kept on file in the Treasurer's office. 
 
 8. When rooms are vacated during a term the rent 
 shall be paid until the end of the term. An occupant of a 
 
ALLOTMENT AND RENTAL OF ROOMS 9 
 
 college room who expects to be absent on leave for a term 
 may be released from the obligations of his lease, provided 
 he notify the Treasurer before the beginning of the term 
 during which he expects to be absent, and give up the room ; 
 but no abatement or drawback of room rent shall be allowed 
 for any period less than a term, except in special cases to 
 be stated in writing, and by permission of the Treasurer. 
 
 9. The Faculty of the University is directed to sus- 
 pend or expel every student that may be found guilty of 
 breaking or evading these rules or of injuring or interfering 
 with the person or property of his successor in a room; or 
 of aiding or abetting another in such transgression, eva- 
 sion, injury, or interference. The Faculty and all its officers 
 are instructed to take the utmost pains, by ordinary' or 
 extraordinary means, to discover such offenders and pre- 
 vent such offences. 
 
 The Faculty is further instructed to report, with the 
 evidence discovered, the name of any graduate or outsider 
 that may be guilty of such offences to the Committee on 
 Grounds and Buildings ; and said Committee is authorized 
 and directed to procure legal counsel and when the evi- 
 dence seems to justify it to take appropriate legal proceed- 
 ings against any and every offender before a court of law. 
 
 " Such regulations in the foregoing " Rules Governing 
 Allotment and Rental of Rooms as may be inconsistent 
 with regulations in the following Rules which were adopted 
 by the Board of Trustees on January 13, 1910, are void." 
 
 RULES GOVERNING THE ALLOTMENT OF ROOMS 
 AND FURNITURE APPRAISALS 
 
 (Adopted January 13, 19 10) 
 
 I. Upon the 5th day of May there shall be drawn by 
 lot from all single and double rooms available for occupancy 
 in the fall, accommodations for 150 entering Freshmen, 
 
10 PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 
 
 equitably distributed among the several groups according 
 to rental; as far as possible widely scattered throughout 
 all the dormitories and purposely including a fair propor- 
 tion of the rooms available in Edwards Hall and University 
 Hall. 
 
 2. Not later than May 15th, and after the reservation 
 of rooms for entering Freshmen shall have been made 
 (as set forth in the preceding paragraph) , the usual annual 
 allotment of rooms shall be made to students now in 
 College. Signed applications to enter said room drawings 
 must be filed with the Treasurer before May loth. 
 
 3. The present system of furniture appraisals shall 
 be discontinued, but the University will engage the services 
 of a competent appraiser who will visit Princeton at a 
 designated time, and who will make appraisals of furniture 
 only upon written' request of students filed beforehand in 
 the office of the Curator of Grounds and Buildings. Such 
 appraisals are to be made in order to enable students to 
 reach a mutually satisfactory agreement as to the prices 
 to be paid for such of the furniture as the buyer wishes to 
 purchase. 
 
 4. The seller and buyer of furniture in rooms allotted 
 to students now in College will be required to file in the 
 office of the Curator of Grounds and Buildings, on or before 
 June 15th, a statement signed by each of the students con- 
 cerned and by their parents or guardians, to the effect that 
 they have agreed upon a mutually satisfactory price for 
 such of the furniture as the buyer is willing to purchase. 
 In the absence of such an agreement being filed on or before 
 June 15th, the owner of furniture will be notified to remove 
 it immediately. If this notice is not complied with, the 
 furniture will be sold by the University authorities. 
 
 5. If any of the rooms drawn and held in reserve for 
 the next incoming Freshman Class shall contain furniture, 
 the owner of the furniture shall be informed that it must 
 
ALLOTMENT AND RENTAL OF ROOMS II 
 
 be removed not later than the day in September when the 
 dormitories are opened for occupancy; unless the Fresh- 
 man to whom it is allotted shall elect to purchase it at the 
 price fixed by the owner. 
 
 6. The Registrar of the University shall be instructed 
 to send to all candidates for admission to the Freshman 
 Class, who have been admitted at the June examinations, 
 a statement of the number and location of rooms reserved 
 throughout the dormitories for the use of Freshmen, to- 
 gether with the rental to be charged in each case, and a state- 
 ment of the owner's valuation of the furniture which may 
 have been left in any of the rooms. It shall be explicitly 
 stated that the student to whom a room may be allotted 
 is under no obligation to purchase furniture which may 
 have been allowed to remain in the room as the property 
 of the former occupant. Accompanying this statement 
 will be a form of application blank which may be filed with 
 the Treasurer at any time prior to July 15th, upon which 
 the entering student may indicate in what group he desires 
 to draw for a room and whether, in the event of his failure 
 to draw a room in the group first chosen, he is willing to 
 enter his application in the next higher group. No double 
 room shall be assigned to a single individual, nor shall it 
 be within the privilege of any single individual to draw for 
 a double room. Ever}^ application for a double room must 
 give the names of two students who intend to occupy the 
 room together and to undertake to be jointly responsible 
 for the rent of the same. 
 
 7. Should the number of applications for rooms 
 reserved for Freshmen be less than 150, the Treasurer shall 
 be authorized immediately after the drawings are held to 
 rent the available rooms to members of the incoming 
 Freshman Class in the order of their application. 
 
12 PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 
 
 UNIVERSITY DINING HALLS 
 
 All members of the Sophomore and Freshman classes 
 board at the University Dining Halls, which are located on 
 ■the lower floors of University Hall. The rooms used by 
 the Sophomores and Freshmen are entirely separate from 
 each other, in different parts of the building. Each class 
 has its own entrance, the Sophomores on Nassau Street 
 and the Freshmen on University Place. The section de- 
 voted to each class consists of several separate dining 
 rooms and a large general club room, comfortably fur- 
 nished. Provision is also made for upperclassmen who 
 wish to board at the Dining Halls. The dining rooms and 
 sitting rooms are lighted by electricity, heated by steam, 
 and well ventilated. The kitchen is fitted up with all the 
 best appliances for cooking and serving on a large scale and 
 under perfect sanitar}'- conditions, and adjoining are a 
 bakery, an ice cream plant, and a milk sterilizing plant. 
 
 The price of board is five dollars and a half per week. 
 If there are men who are unable to pay the full price, they 
 should communicate with the Secretary of the University. 
 To such men as may satisfy the Dining Halls Committee 
 of their inability to pay the regular price a reduction is 
 granted, the recipients of which are called upon from time 
 to time to perform certain duties about the Halls. 
 
 The Committee to which oversight of the dining halls 
 is entrusted is known as the University Dining Halls Com- 
 mittee and is composed of fourteen members: five from 
 the Senior Class, five from the Junior Class, and four from 
 the Sophomore Class. The University Dining Halls 
 Committee, a Committee of the Faculty, a member of the 
 Board of Trustees, and the Secretary of the University 
 act as a Board of Directors. 
 
UNIVERSITY BILLS I3 
 
 UNIVERSITY BILLS 
 
 All University expenses, including board, must be paid 
 in advance to the Treasurer of the University. 
 
 Students may take their meals at any house approved 
 by the Curator; with the exception of Freshmen and 
 Sophomores, all of whom are required to board at the 
 University Dining Halls. 
 
 Students are required to call at the Treasurer's office 
 in the course of the first ten days of each term, and to give 
 information as to their place of boarding, etc., so that their 
 bills can be made out. All bills must be paid within the 
 first four weeks of the term. Failure to comply with this 
 rule will deprive the student of the privileges of the Univer- 
 sity until payment is made, unless excused by special vote 
 of the Faculty. 
 
 When a student enters the University before the 
 middle of the term, he shall pay in full the usual charges for 
 that term, with the exception of the charges for board; 
 if he enter after the middle of the term, he shall pay one- 
 half. For board he shall pay in proportion to the time. 
 
 When a student leaves the University, whether volun- 
 tarily or by dismissal, before the middle of any term, one- 
 half of the charges for tuition and public rooms for that 
 term shall be refunded. But in the case of temporan' 
 absence and subsequent return, although the absence be 
 for more than half a term, no such rebate shall be granted. 
 
 When a student is dismissed from the University for 
 any cause, the advance deposit for board, heat, and light, 
 beyond the time of dismissal, shall be refunded to his parent 
 or guardian. 
 
14 PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 
 
 When at the end of the first term the amount of the 
 advance deposit proves to be in excess of the sum required 
 to defray the board or room bills of any student, the excess 
 shall be credited on his bill for the next term. At the end 
 of the academic year the amounts overpaid by the members 
 of the graduating class for board, room rent, heat, and light 
 shall be refunded by the Treasurer to the student's parent 
 or guardian. The parent or guardian of every tinder gradu- 
 ate will be advised of the amount of excess to the credit of 
 his son or ward, and such amount will be carried over to his 
 credit on the bill of the first term of the following year. In case 
 of withdrawal or dismissal from the University of any 
 undergraduate at the end of the college year, such excess 
 will be refunded by the Treasurer to the parent or guardian, 
 when informed by the Clerk of the Faculty that such under- 
 graduate has been withdrawn or dismissed from the Uni- 
 versity. 
 
REMISSION OF TUITION 15 
 
 REMISSION OF TUITION 
 
 Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor 
 of Letters, or Bachelor of Science of insufftcient means and 
 of more than ordinary intellectual ability may apply for 
 remission of a part of the charge for tuition. Applicants 
 who present satisfactory testimonials as to scholarship and 
 character and proof that the assistance is absolutely needed 
 will be granted remission of fifty dollars a term from the 
 charge for tuition on admission to the University. This 
 remission is in the form of a loan, and all who receive it are 
 required to sign a non-interest-bearing note, to be held by 
 the University, which the signer holds himself morally 
 bound to pay at the earliest date practicable. 
 
 Remission of tuition is granted in all cases for one term 
 and subject to the following conditions: 
 
 I. The student must be regiilar in attendance at his 
 college exercises and free from serious discipline. 
 
 II. His college standing, as shown by his latest semi- 
 annual report, must not be below the third general group. 
 
 III. His college bill for one term for board, room rent, 
 light, and heat must not exceed one hundred and fifty 
 dollars. 
 
 An applicant who has fulfilled these conditions during 
 the first term of a college year will be granted remission of 
 fifty dollars from the charge for tuition for the second term 
 of that year without further action on his part. 
 
 In accepting remission of tuition it is understood that a 
 student agrees to devote his time and energies to his studies, 
 and if his work shall appear to suffer by reason of participa- 
 tion in extra-curriculum activities, or if his scale of living 
 
l6 PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 
 
 shall seem to be out of proportion to his means, he shall 
 forfeit the remission of tuition even though he shall have 
 complied technically with the rules. 
 
 For application blanks and further information apply- 
 to the Secretary of the University, Princeton, New Jersey.

UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS I9 
 
 In 1903 the Trustees decided to grant remission of 
 tuition to applicants for scholarships who were candidates 
 for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in accordance with the 
 plan described in the section entitled Remission of Tuition ; 
 and to use an amount approximating the income from 
 scholarships founded prior to 1903 for the creation of fortv 
 University Scholarships to be awarded in the manner 
 described in the section entitled University Scholarships. 
 In 1909 the privileges of remission of tuition and University 
 Scholarships were extended to candidates for the degrees of 
 Bachelor of Letters and Bachelor of Science. 
 
 UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS 
 
 From the income derived from scholarships founded 
 prior to 1903 forty University Scholarships have been 
 established: ten "A" Scholarships of the annual value 
 of one hundred and sixty dollars each, and thirty "B" 
 Scholarships of the annual value of one hundred and thirty 
 dollars each. During the summer these scholarships will 
 be awarded for the first term to members of the Senior, 
 Junior, and Sophomore classes who are candidates for the 
 degree of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Letters, or Bachelor 
 of Science, and who have previously received remission of 
 tuition, in accordance with the following rules: 
 
 (a) The ten "A" Scholarships will be awarded to 
 those students whose standing during the previous year 
 was in the first general group. If more than ten students 
 are eligible, award will be made according to seniority of 
 class. 
 
 (6) The thirty "B" Scholarships will be awarded to 
 those students whose standing during the previous year 
 was in the second general group. If more than thirty 
 students are eligible, award will be made according to 
 seniority of class, except that students eligible for "A" 
 Scholarships shall take preference over all others.
