1880
University
life was pretty cheap in the 1880's; the only fee was
$3.50 per week for board in the Old Main building, which
lacked a furnace and storm windows. Drinking water was
hauled from town in barrels, and the University emptied
its sewage into the coulee. A few enterprising students
built shanties near the campus so they would have a place
to live.
