JEFFERSON MEDAL.
The Board of Visitors of the University, in honor of its illustrious
founder, have established a gold medal, to be entitled the "Jefferson
Medal," and to be awarded to the most distinguished student of those
who in each session shall take the degree of Master of Arts, under the
following conditions:
1. When a number of students take the degree of M. A., it shall be
the duty of the Faculty, in full session, after a thorough discussion of the
merits of all the competitors, to decide which (if any) is entitled to the
medal. But if there be but one student taking the degree of M. A., it
shall still be competent for the Faculty to award this medal if deserved.
2. No one shall receive this medal except for high attainments, systematic
habits of study, combined with the essential qualifications of good
deportment and elevated character.
