Excerpt from The Cost of an Education at Priceton: Facts, Figures and Letters From Students Who Pay Their Own WayThe student of moderate means may be character ized as the prevailing type at Princeton. He maintains a creditable standing in his class and finds time to play baseball, football, tennis, or engage in some of the other branches of college athletics, as his tastes dictate. He may represent his college on a 'varsity team. He also finds time to read a good deal, to engage in hall work or write for the college press, to become acquainted with nearly if not quite the entire student body, and has ample opportunity to make many warm friendships. He takes college honors of some sort, and is quite likely to be chosen by his classmates as one of the orators for class-day. This typical Princeton man stands on his merits and enjoys the respect of his fellow-students. His life on the campus, in the class-room, on the ath lctic field and at his boarding club is taken as the meas ure of his real worth, and length of purse and ancestry are of equally small value in the democratic atmosphere in which he finds himself. He lives comfortably, find ing it unnecessary to stint himself in money matters, and his annual expenses are covered by the modest sum of $500 or less.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
