"flat rate" inclusive system in
force at Cornell since 1933 which
included board. room. tuition, and
general fees has been re-stated in
three items, tuition and fees, board,

applied to all Cornell students since

sixth residence unit for Cornell’s
limited enrollment of 600 students.
Tuition and fees as announced
by President Magee will be $250.00
for the 1941-42 school year. with
board at $190.00 and room from
$100.00 to $150.00. In totals, the
yearly rate for next year will car-
ry a slight increase; the increase,
however, representing an elimina-
tion of the graduation fee and ad-
ministration fee.
