VIRGINIA STUDENTS.
Students from Virginia over eighteen years of age are admitted into
without being required to pay tuition fees therein.
The expenses of such students, exclusive of text-books, clothing, and
pocket-money, will be—
| For those who board, from | $250 to $281 |
| For those who mess, from | $191 to $200—or less. |
The examinations of Academic Students from Virginia, over eighteen
years of age, for admission under the late act of the Legislature, will
begin on the 23d, 25th, 27th, and 29th of September.
All students that intend to apply for examination under the law are
urged to report themselves promptly to the Examiners before the beginning
of the session, (1st of October.) Those that come later, after the
work of the session has begun, will of necessity be subjected to inconvenience
and delay.
The time of the special examination will be fixed by the several professors,
each for his own school.
The Faculty of the University, prompted by their experience of the
preliminary examinations of the present session, wish most earnestly to
call the attention of the public, and especially of their brother teachers
in Virginia, to the importance of accuracy and thoroughness in the elements
of education, especially in English orthography and composition,
in elementary geography and history, in arithmetic, and in the inflections
of the classical languages. Students that are well grounded in these
elementary studies can do well from the first, and can advance themselves
steadily from class to class; but looseness and inaccuracy of knowledge
in these lead only to prolonged and disheartening failure. The stress of
the preliminary examinations will, therefore, be laid upon accuracy in
elementary knowledge.
Note.—In the Schools of Latin, Greek, and Mathematics, young men
are advised to prepare themselves at least for the intermediate classes.
