RESIDENCE HALLS 
 AT THE 
 
 UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME 
 
 The University provides board and lodging for all 
 the faculty and students in its own buildings on 
 the campus. This arrangement draws professors and 
 students into close social contact and forms an ideal 
 college community. 
 
 There are two modes of student life at Notre Dame 
 —the common room system and the private room sys¬ 
 tem. Each has special advantages. In the common 
 room system the students study in a large assembly 
 room under constant supervision of a member of facul¬ 
 ty. They sleep in a high-ceilinged, well ventilated 
 common dormitory where the beds are screened by 
 curtains to secure privacy. Lavatories are provided 
 with stationary wash-stands having hot and cold run¬ 
 ning water, to each student being assigned a locker 
 for toilet articles. Recreation rooms are furnished 
 with billiard tables and pianos. Facilities for bath¬ 
 ing—shower, needle and tub baths and a swimming 
 pool 23 x 57 feet—are arranged in the University 
 natatorium directly in the rear of the lavatories. The 
 common room system is especially adapted to young 
 men who have not formed fixed habits of study or 
 whose general character is not well moulded. One 
 year of this manner of living is strongly recommended 
 for all students by the University administration.

 F’or the private room system the University has 
 four Residence Halls known as Old College, Sorin, 
 Corby and Walsh. These form part of the group of the 
 University buildings, within short distances of one an¬ 
 other all on the campus. Cement walks lead from one 
 building to another. The Residence Halls are construct¬ 
 ed, as are the other buildings, of cream colored brick 
 and stone trimmings. Each Hall contains ample facili¬ 
 ties for resisting fire, and all are provided with devices 
 for escaping from a burning building. A night watch¬ 
 man within the buildings regularly patrols these 
 Halls, and another does duty around them on the 
 outside. No oil lamps, candles or any artificial 
 lights other than electric are allowed in rooms, and 
 smoking in the rooms is also forbidden. The Halls are 
 lighted throughout by electricity and heated by steam. 
 
 The Residence Halls vary in size. The average 
 floor space in single bedrooms is 8.6 x 13.9. There 
 are a number of double rooms in each Hall. In Walsh 
 Hall most of the rooms in the front of the building are 
 in suites, a suite consisting of a bedroom, study and 
 bath. The ceilings are ten feet high. All the rooms 
 have outsidje light and exposure. There are baths 
 and toilet rooms in all the Halls, and each has recre¬ 
 ation rooms for general use, in which are billiard 
 tables and pianos. 
 
 The following furniture is provided for the rooms; 
 chairs, table, book-shelf, wash-stand, bowl, pitcher, 
 soap-dish, ward-robe, bedside rug, iron bed with spring 
 mattress, hair mattress, pillow, double woolen blanket, 
 quilt, bed-linen and counterpane. In double rooms 
 there are three chairs and double the number of other 
 articles. Students are at liberty to add any other 
 article of furniture they may desire at their own cost. 
 
RESIDENCE HALLS 
 
 ADMISSION 
 
 The University reserves all rights in the assign¬ 
 ment of rooms and shall determine when they must 
 be vacated. Choice of room-mates must receive the 
 sanction of the University officers. An accumulation 
 of 300 demerits for violation of house rules or the gen¬ 
 eral rules of the University, any single serious breach 
 of discipline or continued lax of habits of study will 
 lead to the forfeiture of rooms. Rooms will be ready 
 for occupancy on the Monday preceding the opening 
 of the academic year, and must be vacated on the Sat¬ 
 urday following the annual Commencement. 
 
 Definite application for the reservation of rooms 
 should be made on May 1 on application blanks, a 
 form which will be found on page 23. Later appli¬ 
 cations will be acted on in case rooms have not been 
 called for. No reservation will be made unless the 
 application is accompanied by a fee of fifteen dollars, 
 which is demanded as an earnest of good intention. 
 This fee will be applied toward defraying the charge 
 for rental in case the student occupies the room; it will 
 be forfeited by the applicant if for any reason what¬ 
 ever he fails to occupy his room on the latest date 
 open for reservations. No rooms will be held longer 
 than the date set for the opening of classes. 
 
 Graduate students and those of junior and senior 
 standing and such sophomore students as can be accom¬ 
 modated are assigned to Old College and Sorin Hall. 
 All sophomores who cannot be provided with rooms in 
 Sorin reside in Corby Hall. No room rental is charged

 UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME 
 
 to students of these four classes, the four hundred dol¬ 
 lar charge for board, lodging, laundry and tuition 
 covering the rent of a room for an academic year. 
 However, these upperclassmen may secure rooms in 
 Walsh by paying the difference between the rate for 
 a single room and the increased charges for room 
 rental in Walsh, due to greater convenience and more 
 elegant surroundings. A nominal charge of fifteen 
 dollars to cover the expense of the care of a room for 
 one year is made to all upperclassmen. A special 
 rate is made to freshmen. Attention is called 
 
 to the fact that only those students who have 
 completed all the preparatory studies — who have 
 “no conditions”—are entitled to the freshman rate. 
 Similarly only “unconditioned” sophomores get rooms 
 free. 
 
 RULES 
 
 All students living in Residence Halls are sub¬ 
 ject to the disciplinary regulations of the University. 
 Failure to observe these rules entails demerits which 
 are imposed according to the gravity of the offence. 
 For violation of the special regulations for the good 
 order and safety in Residence Halls demerits are also 
 given. When a student has reached three hundred 
 demerits he forfeits his room. The use of intoxicating 
 liquors will lead in every case to the forfeiture of a 
 room. 
 
 Each student will be responsible for the furniture 
 and the general condition of his room. Any damage 
 will be charged to him. 
 
 Meals are not permitted in the rooms. When 
 students are sick they will be cared for in the Univer¬ 
 sity Infirmary. 
 
RESIDENCE HALLS 
 
 RATES 
 
 The rental charged for rooms, which are all pro¬ 
 vided with the necessary furniture enumerated above, 
 covers one academic year and includes heat, lights, 
 the care of the room, laundry of bed-linens and towels 
 and service of bed linens. 
 
 The prices are governed by the size of the rooms, 
 exposure and location. 
 
 The location of the rooms may be ascertained by 
 reference to the numbers on the floor plans. The 
 initial number of the room indicates the floor on which 
 it is located. 
 
 No rental is charged for rooms in Old College or 
 Sorin Hall, in which upperclassmen reside. A fee of 
 $15.00 for service must be paid in advance by all 
 students residing in Old College or Sorin Hall and by 
 sophomores who live in Corby Hall. 
 
 Suites for one student consist of a study, a bed¬ 
 room and a bath; those for two students are com¬ 
 posed of one large study, two bedrooms and a bath; 
 suites for four students comprise two large studies, 
 one double and two single bedrooms and a bathroom. 
 
 Each room in the suites has a door leading to the 
 corridor. The larger suites, may, therefore, be divided 
 into single and double rooms and into suites for one 
 student. Prices for rooms thus separated may be as¬ 
 certained by applying to the Secretary of the University. 
 
 Some few of the large rooms listed as single 
 rooms may be occupied by two students. When this 
 arrangement is made an additional charge of $15.00 
 for service is annexed to the price of the room. 
 
 The regulations governing the payment of Resi¬ 
 dence Hall fees are the same as those that apply to 
 
s 
 
 UNIVERSITY OP NOTRE DAME 
 
 tuition fees.Payment shall be made in advance of occu¬ 
 pancy. A deposit of $15.00 must be made when a 
 reservation of a room is demanded. This amount is 
 deducted from the rental when the student takes pos¬ 
 session. It will be forfeited if for any reason a student 
 fails to take the room assigned to him.
