STATE STUDENTS.

To render education at the University accessible to meritorious
young men of limited means, provision has been made by the Legislature
for the admission of one student from each Senatorial District
of the State, without payment of matriculation and tuition
fees and rents. This provision is meant to be restricted to those
who are not themselves, and whose parents are not, in a situation to
incur the expense of their education at this Institution, without
aid.

State students are appointed by the Faculty upon satisfactory
testimonials of fitness. The term of appointment is for two years,
but for extraordinary proficiency it may be prolonged. They stand
in all respects, except expense, on the same footing as other students,
enjoying the same privileges, and subject to the same laws.—
By way of remuneration to the State for the aid afforded them, they
are required, on admission, to sign an engagement to teach in some
public or private school in Virginia, for two years, after leaving the
University; the emoluments of such service enuring, of course, to
their own benefit.

The applicant for a State appointment should state his age (which
must be at least seventeen), and designate the schools of the University
he may wish to enter. He should submit satisfactory testimonials
of irreproachable moral character, and of capacity, as well
by partial cultivation as original vigor of mind, to profit by the
instruction given at the University. It should also appear that
neither he nor his parents are able to incur the expense of his education
without aid.

The Faculty will proceed on the 30th of June next to make appointments
of State students for vacant districts. The following are the
districts; of which the 2d, 3d, 4th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 12th, 15th, 20th, 22d,
