LOAN FUNDS.

Applicants for loans, if not already registered as students in the
University, must have complied with all the requirements for entrance.
All inquiries concerning loans should be addressed to the Bursar, University,
Va.

Harvard Loan Fund.—The Harvard Loan Fund was established in
February, 1909, by an alumnus of Harvard University, who gave to the
University of Virginia the sum of five thousand dollars, as an evidence of
the friendship and kindly relation existing between the two institutions.
Loans from this fund will be made to needy and deserving students
pursuing or intending to pursue studies in any department of the University,
in amounts not to exceed one hundred dollars in any one session
to a single student, at an annual rate of interest of four per cent.

Virginia Students' Loan Fund.—The Virginia Students' Loan Fund
was established by an Act of the General Assembly of Virginia, approved
March 14, 1908, and amounts each year to one per cent of the annual
appropriation made by the Legislature for the support of the University.
In accordance with the terms of this act, loans will be made "to needy and
deserving students of talent and character, from Virginia, in the Academic
Departments," in amounts not to exceed one hundred dollars in any one
session to a single student, at an annual rate of interest of four per cent.

Robert E. Lee Loan Fund.—In October, 1914, a gift of ten thousand
dollars was made to the University by a veteran of the Federal Army,
who wished in this way to express his interest in this institution and his
admiration for General Lee. Loans from this fund will be made to
deserving students in any department who stand in need of such assistance.
