The cost is as foullows : Board and rooms plus privileges of swimming, etc. .... ........ .... $25.00 Conference fee .... . 7.50 Total $32.50 Of this amount the Y.M.C.A. at the University has been accustomed in the last few years to pay $10.00 and it is assumed that they will do the same thing again this year. That cuts the ex l'enses down to a minimum that is smaller than one could expect anywhcc for the kind of outing and conference that will be afforded him at Blue Ridge. The Blue Ridge conference authorities have a standing offer that they will re turn the money to any man who stays thru the full conference and is not satis fi U. that he has his money's worth.
