Students from Virginia.—As is seen from the statements above
the university, in compliance with the statute (Virginia Code 1887,
Ch. 68, Sec. 1554), offers to white male students from Virginia who
are sixteen years or more of age, instruction, without charge for
tuition, in all the Schools of the Academic Departments (excepting
the courses in Analytical Chemistry and the laboratory courses in
Botany, Chemistry, Physics, and Zoölogy), subject to the conditions

stated below. Such students are required to pay the university
fee for Virginia students in the Academic Department of $10, and
make the usual contingent deposit. They are also required to pay
the regular laboratory charges for materials, etc., in the course of
study where such charges occur. If they occupy rooms on the
university grounds they are of course subject to the usual charges
for rent and service. The saving to Virginia students varies from
$105 to $130, according to the number of schools elected.

To be entitled to free tuition as a Virginia student under the
above mentioned statute, it is necessary that the applicant's parents
be domiciled in the State if he be under twenty-one years of age; if
he has attained his majority, it is necessary that he himself be domiciled
here. One is domiciled in the State who is living in it at the
time the application is made and has no present intention of removing
therefrom in the future, or who, though absent from the State,
has not lost his former domicile by acquiring one elsewhere. No
other person can honestly avail himself of this privilege.

White Male Teachers and Superintendents of the Public Schools
of Virginia will be admitted, during the last three months of the session,
to the Schools of the Academic Departments of the university
without payment of fees, upon presentation of certificates that they
have been teachers in the Public Schools of the State during the
year.

Immediately after the Spring Examinations any of the following
courses may be entered upon with profit by an applicant prepared
for them; Latin, Greek, French, Spanish, German, English, English
Literature and Rhetoric, History, Moral Philosophy, Mathematics,
Astronomy, Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, Industrial Chemistry,
Geology, and Descriptive Botany. Special courses for teachers will
be offered in English and Mathematics, and perhaps in several other
subjects during the approaching spring term, if the demand for them
is sufficient.

Applicants for admission as teachers are required to send in
their names to the president of the university not later than March
5. Lodgings can be had near the university. The only necessary
expense will be for board, lights, and washing, which will together
cost from $5 to $7 a week.

Ministerial Students.—Ministers of the gospel may attend any of
the Academic Schools of the university without the payment of tuition
fees. The same privileges will be extended to any young man
who submits testimonials that he is an approved candidate for the
ministry, and unable to meet the expenses of education at the university
without aid.
