The Tribune is mistaken to a considerable extent, as it will see by examiniog the catalogue. Non-residents have to pay a matricularon fee of $25, and an annual fee of $25, while $10 has to be paid as a graduation fee, which makes, according to our arithmetic, $135 for a non-resident student for the full college course in the literary department. In the law and medical departments the fees have for some time nearly, if notuite, paid the running expenses - the DOD-residenta paying by far the greater proportion. We think, ourself, that it would be wisdom on the part of our law makers to increase the fees for non-residents in several of the departments, so that the tuition would at least oover the running expenses. Such aoourae would seem but just to our own taxpayers. Such assertions as the Tribune makes, evidently innocent enough, come from the great stress some people lay upon our ree educational system, and tend to injure our university.
