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
Associations 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 courses in Analytical Chemistry).
The scholarship shall entitle the incumbent to exemption from tuition
fees in the Schools referred to except laboratory fees in general,
and to the remission, if he be a Virginian, of the university
fee; if he be not a Virginian, 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), except laboratory fees in general,
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.
