FIRST PRIZE. CHARLES HENRY VINTON. SECOND PRIZES. CHARLES EVERETT FISH. GEORGE MILLER PINNEY. PUBLIC WORSHIP. There are daily devotional services in Appleton Chapel, at which all Undergraduates of the College are required to be present. Undergraduates are permitted to pass Sundays with their families, or with families designated by their parents or guardians. Undergraduates who do not pass Sundays with their families are required to attend public worship once on Sunday. Each student may select his own place of worship if he be of age; if he be a minor, the selection is to be made by his parent or guardian. EXPENSES. The necessary expenses of an Undergraduate, not including clothing and cost of living in the Summer Vacation, are from $100 to $650 a year. The chief items are the following: - $150.00 Other expenses must vary with the economy of each student. Wood and coal ready for use are delivered at the students' rooms, by Cambridge and Brighton dealers, at market prices. The rent of furnished rooms in private houses in the immediate vicinity of the College is from $75 to $250 per annum. By going half a mile from the College the student may get cheaper rooms. The price of board at present is from $4.00 to $8.00 a week. Students living in college buildings find their own beds and furniture. The completion of the main portion of Memorial Hall enables a larger number of students than ever before to obtain board at cost. The Dining-Hall Association has about five hundred members, including both undergraduates and students of the professional schools; and it is expected that the cost of board per week will not much exceed four dollars. COLLEGE BILLS. The bills containing college charges are made out by the Bursar, and are to be called for at his offlce. Each bill will contain one-third of the annual charges. The first bill will be ready for delivery December 22, and is to be paid on or before January 12. The second bill will be ready for delivery March 15, and is to be paid on or before April 5. The third bill will be ready for delivery one week before Commencement, and is to be paid on or before October 10; but the third bill of the Senior year must be paid at least one day before Commencement. Students who leave College before graduating must pay in full all college bills at the time of leaving. The Bursar is authorized to make the following deductions from the full year's tuition-fee in Harvard College, in cases of absence during part of the year, without regard to the cause of absence: For absence not less than three consecutive months at any time of the year, $30 to be deducted. For absence during the whole year, including or not including the final examinations, $100 to be deducted. Students claiming deductions as above must file at the Bursar's office a certificate from the Dean as to the fact and duration of absence. ASSIGNMENT OF COLLEGE ROOMS FOR 1876–77. Students living in College Buildings, who wish to re-engage their present rooms for the Academic Year 1876-77, must sign a new room agreement at the Bursar's office before April 1. Where only one of two room-mates signs the room-agreement, the name of the other must be given. The whole rent of the room and other room expenses will be charged to the person who signs the room-agreement. Seniors, and graduates whose connection with the University has not been severed, can re-engage their present rooms or apply for other rooms, for their own occupation only, provided they intend to pursue their studies in Cambridge during the next year. On April 1 will be made out a list of college rooms not re-engaged, for which members of the College and of the Scientific School (and graduates as above mentioned) can apply. This list with blank forms of application will be given to all who ask for it at the Bursar's office after April 8. No applications will be considered unless made upon these blanks. On April 17 the assignment of rooms will be made by lot, and all applications for rooms must be filed at the Bursar's office before that day. The result of the allotment will be published as soon as possible; and no student will be entitled to the room allotted him, unless the room-agreement shall have been signed at the Bursar's office before April 25. On May 1 will be made out a descriptive list of rooms available for persons intending to enter College in the summer of 1876, and for graduates intending to pursue their studies at Cambridge, whose connection with the University has been severed. This list with blank forms of application and price lists will be ready for delivery from the Bursar's office after May 1. Upon request, the list and blanks will be mailed to any address. The blank application will contain a certificate to be signed, in the case of candidates for admission in 1876, by the instructor of the applicant, stating that the applicant intends to enter Harvard College in the summer of 1876, and specifying the examination (July or September) at which he will apply for admission. No application will be considered in which all the blanks are not duly filled out. On May 15 the allotment will be made, and all applications must be filed at the Bursar's office before that date. Successful applicants will be notified as soon as possible of the result of the allotment, and a blank form of agreement and bond will be forwarded at the same time. The agreement binds the applicant to retain his room for one year and pay the full rent in case he enters College, and, in case of failure to enter College, to forfeit one quarter's rent, if the Bursar is unable to assign the room to some member of the University. This agreement and bond must be duly executed and filed at the Bursar's office before June 1, or the applicant's rights under the allotment will be lost. No transfer of rooms will be allowed. Students are advised not to apply for or engage rooms until they have fully decided that they wish to occupy them, as every student who engages a room is required to pay the full year's rent, whether he uses the room or not. No student will acquire by the assignment of a room to him any right to transfer that room to another, or to hold the room in his own name and allow another, except his room-mate, to occupy it; and no such transfer or holding will be permitted. When one of two roommates retains a room in his name and the other draws one in the allotment, they will be required to choose which room they will keep, and to surrender the other to the Bursar before April 25. When, before the beginning of the academic year, the tenant permanently severs his connection with the University, or obtains a leave of absence, or is suspended for the whole of the year, he can, by immediately notifying the Bursar, cancel his room-agreement. When one of two room-mates cancels his room-agreement as above, the agreement of the other will be cancelled also. The other room-mate will be allowed, by at once signing a new room-agreement, to keep the room originally assigned to the two; but, if he does not at once re-engage it, the Bursar will be at liberty to assign it to other tenants. Exchanges of rooms of about equal value will be permitted when it is satisfactorily shown that such exchanges are not of the nature of a sale. But all such exchanges must be made at the Bursar's office before the beginning of the academic year, as the full year's rent and all charges for gas and damages will be collected from those to whom the rooms stand charged on the Bursar's books at the beginning of the year.
