Mode of Applying for Appointment.

The applicant for a State appointment must state his age (which
must be at least seventeen) and designate the Schools of the University
he may wish to enter. He must submit satisfactory testimonials
of irreproachable moral character and of capacity, as well by partial
cultivation as original vigor of mind, to profit by the instruction
given at the University, and of the fact that neither he nor his parents
are able to incur the expense of his education without aid.
