[65] ‘Another Bursar estimates £150.’
[66] See p. 95.
[67] For further information see _Handbook_, Chap. iii.
[68] See _Amalgamated Clubs_, p. 100.
[69] These figures may seem a low estimate, but considerable inquiry
points to a fair average as lying within these limits.
[70] No one College uses all these designations—but these funds, or
services, or their equivalents, are provided for in each College’s
battels.
[71] This entrance fee is paid once only, i. e. the first time a man rows
in an inter-College race.
[72] The initial expenses of the first year and the additional expenses
connected with graduation, &c., at the end of the third year makes this,
if anything, _too conservative_ an estimate of the average for each of
these years.
[73] Not required of students having Senior Foreign standing.
[74] Keble has a special arrangement by which, after entrance fee of £5,
£85 paid in three instalments may be made to cover nearly all of the
actual necessities of in-college expenses per year. (See _Handbook_, p.
73.)
[75] Queen’s has a special arrangement by which, after payment of
entrance fee and deposit of £10 caution-money, a payment of £28 per Term
may be made to cover nearly all of the actual necessities of in-College
expense per Term. (See _Handbook_, p. 77.)
[76] St. Edmund Hall has a prepayment system by which, without admission
fee or caution money, £73 paid in three instalments may be made to cover
‘all charges of the Hall except degree fees.’ (See _Handbook_, p. 82.)
[77] For Non-Collegiate arrangements see _Handbook_, pp. 83-84:—
‘A reference to the figures which have been given will show that the
course of three years for a B.A. degree need not exceed the charges
specified in the following list’:—
(That is, for Non-Collegiate students.)
£ _s._ _d._
Entrance fees 8 10 0
Three years at £51 10_s._ 6_d._ 154 11 6
University Fee for Degree B.A. 7 10 0
-------------
170 11 6
Less caution money 2 0 0
-------------
£168 11 6
[78] It should be remembered, too, that although ‘migration’ is possible
the exercise of this right of transfer among undergraduates is very rare,
and is almost as serious a step in Oxford as resignation and transfer of
Fraternity membership would be in an American University.
[79] It is impossible and would be impracticable to attempt here to
describe, or to discriminate between, the Colleges. For description see
Wells, _Oxford and its Colleges_; Baedeker, _Great Britain_, Oxford;
_Handbook_. For other relative information see pp. 169, 170.
