  There were two types of study costs in the universities between the two World Wars, one of them was the tution fee, and the other one was the additional fee. The tution fee had been part of the Hungarian educational system since the middle of the 19th century. Those university students whose parents were in low social status with low income could get tution fee discount or exemption because of their financial situation. But in the case of the different kind of additional fees, there were not any discount or excemption because these fees required for the maintenance of several university institution, like university canteen, patient care fund, or the provision fund of the University Council. The system of these additional fees was different in the Hungarian universities, some additional fees were the same, some not. There were difference in the amount of the additional fees too. In this study, we can see the changes of the additional fee system in Debrecen between the two World Wars. All of the additional fees will be presented, for example canteen fee, patient care fund, and the two type of maintenance surcharges which were made due to the influence of the great economic crisis.

   The predecessor of today's Eötvös Loránd University was relocated from Buda to Pest in 1784, and several buildings that had been in use for decades, typically owned by monastic orders, were handed over for its use. By the mid-19th century, the buildings—especially the medical faculty building—were in very poor condition, so at the recommendation of the Governor's Council, Emperor Ferdinand V ordered the development of a cost estimate for new university buildings in 1846. Ferenc Toldy, the director of the University Library, made a proposal for the new building, outlining his ideal library design in a multi-page report. The study publishes Toldy's draft and the correspondence related to the matter held by the ELTE University Library and Archives.
