The total University fees of an Academical Student from Virginia are
only $47; his necessary expenses amount to but $180, exclusive of

The Faculty are required by law to be satisfied by actual examination
of the applicant or by a certificate from some college or preparatory
school that he has made such proficiency in the branch of study which
he proposes to pursue as will enable him to avail himself of the advantages
afforded by the University.
Examination is required for admission to the School of
