TureE ResweENcE Hats FoR SELF-SUPPORTING MEN Strupents ArE MAINTAINED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
KANSAS.

TEMPLIN HALL, with the tract of ground on which it stands, known as “Alumni Place,” was
provided by contributions from the alumni of the University.

BATTENFELD HALL, also located on Alumni Place, was the gift of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Bat-
tenfeld in memory of their son, John Battenfeld.

CARRUTH HALL, was the residence of former Chancellors of the University. It was set
aside and equipped by the University as a home for self-supporting students.

The privilege of living in these Halls is granted as a scholarship to young men of excellent character,
high intelligence, and studious habits, who possess those qualities which will guarantee agreeable association
with their fellows. Appointments are made to a “Templin Hall Scholarship,” a “Battenfeld Hall Scholarship,”
or a “Carruth Hall Scholarship” as vacancies occur. Each scholarship is considered worth not less than one hundred
dollars annually, that amount being the estimated difference in cost between living in one of these houses and living in
other houses having equally desirable accommodations.

These three Halls, providing homes for a hundred and twenty students, are conducted as a single enter-
prise under the supervision of a Faculty Operating Committee. They are carried on co-operatively, resident
scholars paying only actual costs and necessary maintenance charges. The scholars perform all household
duties, such as cooking, serving meals, house-cleaning, care of grounds, etc. Each scholar may be called on for not to
exceed two hours of service daily. Scholars will provide their own blankets and towels and will bear the cost of laundering
them.

A deposit of $18 will be required on the first of each month, beginning September 1, and continuing
to include May 1, to be applied to the housebill for the succeeding month. Any surplus resulting from the
exercise of care and frugality will be refunded at the end of the year. On September 1 and January 15 a
deposit of $7.50 will be required to cover maintenance and replacement. From this deposit no refund can be allowed.
Should a scholar wish to withdraw from a Hall, he must give two weeks notice of his intention and he must also sacrifice
the amount of a two weeks’ housebill.

Applications for these scholarships must be on file with the Residence Halls Appointment Committee
not later than April first. They must be accompanied by the personal information called for on the form
provided, and a definite promise to maintain a high standard of scholarship as well as to observe all pre-
scribed regulations. At least three references, one of them a graduate of the University of Kansas, if possible, must be
offered. In addition, each applicant must furnish personal assurance by some reliable person as sponsor, preferably neither
a relative nor a high school teacher, that he is in every way trustworthy, that he is sincerely desirous of obtaining an educa-
tion, and that his housebills will be paid promptly.

The purpose of the University in establishing these scholarships and maintaining the Halls is to make
attendance at the University possible for some of those who probably would otherwise be unable to secure

a college course. It is intended to assure each scholar adequate facilities for study, a comfortable home, the
benefits of pleasant association with agreeable companions, and plenty of good, wholesome food. It is expected that young
men to whom these privileges are accorded will cooperate gladly at all times and in every way.
