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.

One of the Miller Scholarships is awarded, at the close of each
session, to the candidate who passes with the highest aggregate of

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

student in History. The value of the fellowship is two hundred
and fifty dollars, with remission of all fees.
