PRIVILEGED STUDENTS.

Ministers of the Gospel may attend any of the schools of the
University, without the payment of fees to the Professors. The
same privilege will be extended to any young man preparing for
the ministry, on the following conditions:

(1.) He shall submit for the consideration of the Faculty an
application, accompanied by testimonials, relating to the fact of his
being a bona fide candidate for the ministry, to his good standing in
the Church of which he is a member, to his intellectual capacity,

and his inability to meet the expenses of education at the University,
without aid.

(2.) No Professor shall be required to form a new class or
assume any other additional labor for the exclusive benefit of this
class of students.

(3.) In order to entitle such a student to the privilege of gratuitous
instruction in any school of the University during a second
session, he must prove his ability to profit by such continued
instruction, by exhibiting such evidence of proficiency during the
first session as shall be satisfactory to the Professor of the school.

The Faculty, at their discretion, may allow any man of undoubted
moral character, above the age of twenty-three years, to attend
lectures in any of the schools of the University, and to reside out
of the precincts, exempt from the rules and regulations prescribed
for the government of students, except only that he shall pay the
usual Professors' fees, and the usual compensation for the use of
the public rooms, and shall observe all those laws of the Institution
which enjoin respectful and orderly deportment. But the privilege
so allowed may be withdrawn by the Faculty at any time, when, in
their opinion, it has been used to the evil example of the students,
or otherwise to the injury of the Institution.
