Necessary expenses for every one include—
1. University Expenses.
1. Matriculation (once only) £3 10s.
2. University Quarterly Dues, 12s. 6d. (twelve shillings and sixpence) per Term (four times per year).
3. Examination Fees (see [Table, p. 103]).
4. University Degree Fees (see [Table, p. 103]).
2. College Expenses.
1. Entrance, or Matriculation, Fee required in most Colleges—average £5 (once only) (see [Table, p. 105]).
2. Caution money. Caution money is a deposit of a certain sum in advance, required in most Colleges, in order to secure the College against loss through damage to property or non-payment of College bills. With regard to Rhodes Scholars each College has made its own arrangements. As these arrangements stand at present, fourteen Colleges require no deposit; four have required £10; one has required £20; and one has required £40; while two do not require caution money of any one. (For the sake of foreign students, the sums ordinarily required of Commoners have been included in the Table at the end of this Chapter, col. 2.[67])
Caution money, when required, is, as a rule, paid back, in whole or in part, when the student ‘goes down’ (finally); in some instances a part is retained and applied to the expense of ‘keeping name on the College books’ and towards paying for M.A. degree.
