UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS.

Eleven scholarships, entitling the successful candidates at a competitive
examination to prosecute the studies of one session at the University
of Virginia without the payment of matriculation or tuition fees,
are open to new-comers from all the States at the beginning of the
academic year (October, 1st). Of these eleven scholarships five are in
the Academic Department, and two severally in the Departments of
Law, of Medicine, and of Civil and Mining Engineering. The examination
is uniform, and embraces Latin, Greek, Mathematics, and English.
In order to secure positive attainments the right is reserved to reject
any papers that do not reach the standard required for distinction at
the Final Examination in Junior Latin, Junior Greek, and Junior Mathematics,
and do not show a competent acquaintance with the grammatical
and rhetorical structure of the English language.

The subjects of examination in Latin, Greek and Mathematics for
these scholarships will be found under the head "Junior Class" of those
Schools. For more precise information, apply to the Professors.

In addition to the foregoing, the Visitors, in September, 1882, founded
three free scholarships, to be called the Corcoran Scholarship, the
McCormick Scholarship, and the Vanderbilt Scholarship.

MILLER SCHOLARSHIPS.

There are three scholarships in the Agricultural Department, named
for its founder.. These scholarships are bestowed on competitive examination,
and the emolument from each is $333.33. For information as
