Dr. Hollis notes that "expenses remained almost stationary until I 4 ?1CD MFMERS OF3 Vational honorary engineering-soei campus. The new members are ( . Campbell, William P. Carroway, to, Thomas J.

Board aat Steward's Hall increased from $10 to $11 in 1904, and to $12 in 1907, but did not advance again until 1918-19, during which time it was raised to $18.00 a month. The University added a breakage fee of $3.00 a year in 1908, and the cost of books and incidental expenses also in creased slightly. "By 1912 the catalogue had raised its estimate of the minimum cost of necessary expenses, again excluding clothing and travel, to $186. With board costing about $100 a year, an economically in clined student could still attend the University for less than $300.

"In 1917 the University began chacg'ng residents of steam heated dormitories an additional room fee of $10.00 a semester, and the an nual activities fees became effec tive in 1918." Dr. Hollis' notes further state that "in 1926 tuition fees for out of-state students were doubled, and minor fees were added (library, laboratory, late registra tion, etc.), but as of 1930 a South Carolina resident could attend the University fairly congfortibly on $350 a year, and many did it for less."

Few. of the students of 1880-1930 had very much money, but there were some who were suf ficiently well off to indulge in social activities. The senior class of 1884 re vived the commencement ball. . . . They were usually held in the State House, although the library was the scene of the dance in 1887. Tickets to the ball cost five dol lars, and if a "college dude" came fully equipped in a "spike-tail" coat, pump slippers, high silk beaver hat, carried a cane, and hired a "slam door" carriage with a double team to transpori his lady fair, the investment demol ished a budget of $250 a year In 1888.
