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 inabilily 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 University charges, 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But the privilege so allowed may be withdrawn by the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.
