ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIPS.

At the meeting of the Board of Visitors on March 2d, 1899, the following
system of Alumni Scholarships was created:

1. These Scholarships shall be known as Alumni Scholarships.

2. The incumbents shall be appointed by such local Alumni Association
as are members in good standing of the General Alumni Association
and are so reported from year to year by its Secretary; and by such of
these only as may have ten or more active members who are entitled to
vote on the appointment of an incumbent.

3. No incumbent shall hold such Scholarship for more than one year;
but one who has passed satisfactory examinations at the University in one
or more of his classes may be eligible for reappointment the following
session upon the recommendation of the Faculty.

4. These Scholarships shall be confined to those courses in the
Academic Schools of the University to which Virginia students are now
admitted without charge under the laws of Virginia (that is, all Academic
courses, save the course in Analytical Chemistry). The Scholarship shall
entitle the incumbent to exemption from tuition fees in the Schools referred
to, and to the remission, if he be a Virginian, of the University fee;
if he be not a Virginian, to one-half of the University fee. The Contingent
fee must be deposited in all cases.

5. Only such persons may be appointed as actually stand in need of
such aid, and such as otherwise would not, in the judgment of the Association
making the appointment, be able to attend the University: and no
student will be permitted to enjoy the privileges of an Alumni Scholarship
while holding an endowed Scholarship or Fellowship.

6. The incumbent must be at least eighteen years of age, and must
be one who, in the judgment of the Association naming him, is studious,
of good moral character, and prepared to enter the University. He shall
be subject to the same entrance requirements as other students.

7. Every local Alumni Association, as above described, having ten or
more active members, shall be entitled annually to have one appointee at
the University; if hereafter such Association ceases to have as many as
ten active members, it shall not be entitled to make an appointment until
that number be restored.

8. Every such local Association having fifty or more active members
shall be entitled to fill two such scholarships annually, as long as it shall
continue to have as many as fifty such members, or as soon as it shall
have reached that number.

9. By "active" members as herein used, is meant Alumni of the
University, who have been admitted by the Association as active members
thereof, in accordance with the rules laid down by the Association. No
Alumnus shall be entitled to vote upon the appointment of an incumbent
in more than one Association during the same year, nor for this purpose
shall an Alumnus be considered as an active member of more than one
Association, at the same time. But graduation in any Department or
School of the University is not hereby required.

10. Only one Association in any city or town shall be entitled to
appoint incumbents to the Scholarships hereby created.

11. The final appointment of each incumbent shall be made by a vote
of the whole Association, a majority of the active members voting for
the applicant. It shall not finally be made by any committee or by any
officer or officers of the Association. But such committee or officers may
be appointed by the Association to nominate or examine candidates, and to
report to the Association.

12. A statement, which shall include the full name and address of
the successful candidate, the fact of his appointment, and the specific compliance
of the Association and the candidate in question with conditions
above stated, must be certified to the President of the University of Virginia,
attested by the signature of the Secretary of the Association making
the appointment. This certificate must be in the hands of the President on
or before the fifteenth day of August preceding the opening of the session
for which the incumbent is appointed. The President will send printed
forms of such certificates upon application.

13. The above requirements having been complied with, the person or
persons so appointed shall be entitled in each instance to attend the University
for the session immediately following the appointment without payment
of any tuition fees (save for the course in Analytical Chemistry)
and to the remission, if he be a Virginian, of the University fee; if he be
not a Virginian, of one half of the University fee: the Contingent fee being
deposited in each case; and shall enjoy the same privileges and be subject
to the same restrictions as other students.

14. To guard against any possible ill-feeling or sense of injustice on
the part of any local Association in respect to the construction of these
provisions, all such matters shall be referred to the Executive Committee
of the General Alumni Association, the decision of which, when approved
by the President of the University, shall be final.

SPECIAL SCHOLARSHIPS.

session, to the candidate who passes with the highest aggregate of marks,

fund of the Leander McCormick Observatory. They are assigned to
advanced students who take Astronomy as their major subject and occupy
a portion of their time in work connected with the Observatory. They are
appointed upon the recommendation of the Director of the Observatory,
to whom applications for further information should be made. The value
of each Fellowship is three hundred and fifty dollars a year, with the
remission of all fees.

such assistance. The value is two hundred dollars a year.

distinguished statesmen of that name by his grandson, Dr. William Cabell

Rives, of Washington, D. C., is awarded by the Board of Visitors, on the
nomination of the President of the University, to a graduate student in
History. The value of the fellowship is two hundred and fifty dollars,
with remission of all fees.

The Board of Visitors Fellowships.—The Board of Visitors makes
annual appointment, upon the recommendation of the professors in charge
of certain designated Schools, of four graduate students to Fellowships.
