ADMISSION WITH ADVANCED STANDING.

Applicants from other universities and from colleges affiliated with
the University of Virginia will be admitted to advanced standing as candidates
for degrees from this University upon presentation of proper certificates,
covering the courses for which credit is desired. Such certificates
must be filed with the Dean of the Department in which the student is
registered. They must be acceptable both to the Dean and to the Professor
in charge of the course accredited. The certificate must bear the
official signature of the head of the college; must specify the character and
content of the course followed by the student; must give his marks, which
should in no case fall below the standard seventy-five per cent. of this
University; and must recommend the student as worthy of admission to
the University of Virginia in respect of both character and scholarship.
The final validation of such certificates is effected by the successful completion
of the courses attended in this University.

Students from training schools, in which the work of the upper
classes is approximately of collegiate grade, will be granted advanced
standing in Mathematics and the Languages, provided they are recommended
officially and in writing for such advanced standing by the principal
of the school. Such students must, however, in every case, attend
the lectures and pass the examinations here in the last year of the undergraduate
work of every course elected. High School courses in Science
are in no case accepted as grounds for advanced standing.

The College.—The programme of studies offered by the candidate
for the degree of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science must satisfy
all the requirements of that degree as here established. He must devote
at least one full session to the studies of the College and at least three
of his electives must be taken here.

Department of Engineering.—The programme of studies offered
by the candidate for a degree in Engineering must satisfy all the

requirements of that degree as here established. He must devote at
least two full sessions to engineering studies in this University.

Department of Graduate Studies.—Applicants for admission to
this department as candidates for the degree of Master of Arts, Master
of Science or Doctor of Philosophy must present the baccalaureate
degree of an affiliated institution of collegiate rank, or in cases of
incorporated institutions of learning which confer no such degree,
the certificate of graduation on a course fully equivalent to the ordinary
collegiate course. No diploma or certificate can be accepted except
by vote of the Faculty, based on the recommendation of the
Committee on Academic Degrees.

Department of Law.—No admission with advanced standing is
permitted by the Faculty of this Department.

Department of Medicine.—The special prescription for admission
with advanced standing in Medicine will be found set forth in
the section of this catalogue devoted to that Department on page 195.

School laboratory course. The ground covered by Remsen's "Introduction
to the Study of Chemistry" is the accepted standard. The student's
autograph laboratory notes must be submitted with the examination papers.
(One unit).

Science C. Experimental Physics:—A course of one full year,
covering the topics of Mechanics, Sound, Light, Heat, Electricity, and
Magnetism. The work should include (a) lecture-table demonstrations
by the teacher, with appropriate yet simple apparatus; (b) text-book

of acceptance on the part of the teacher. Any one of the standard
texts and laboratory manuals may be followed. (One unit).

Science D. Botany and Zoölogy:—The entrance examinations in
these two subjects, which together count as a single unit, presuppose
such sound elementary knowledge of the structure and functions of plants
and animals, respectively, and of their classification, as may reasonably
be regarded as representing a half year's work, in each case, upon plants
or animals with the aid of such a text-book on the one hand, as Coulter's
"Plant Structure," and on the other by Jordan and Kellogg's "Animal
Forms:" or other books of similar grade and character.

In each case the candidate will be required to submit (at the time of
the written examination) his own laboratory notes and drawings as an
evidence of the amount and character of the direct personal work done
by him upon the plants or the animals, which he has studied.

of cubes, prisms, and pyramids in simple positions; method of revolving
the solid into new positions; method of changing the planes of projection;
projections of the three round bodies in simple positions and in
revolved positions; sections by planes parallel to the planes of projection.
Sections by inclined planes; developments of prisms, pyramids, cylinders,
and cones; intersections of polyedra and curved surfaces; distances from
a point to a point or a plane or a line; angles between planes and lines.
(One unit).

must present valid certificates covering at least 240 hours of competent
instruction with adequate appliances in these topics. About 80 hours should
be devoted to woodwork, 40 to forging, and 120 to machine-work. He
should be familiar with the usual shop processes, the standard methods
of work, and the properties of the ordinary constructive materials. (One
unit).

hundred and twenty-two acres of land, valued at $600,000; has thirty
buildings which cost approximately $1,547,000; holds productive funds
to amount of $1,224,420, and receives an annual appropriation from State
of Virginia of $80,000. The annual expenditures are $212,318.14.
In scientific studies large facilities are offered by the Leander McCormick
Observatory, the Rouss Physical Laboratory, the Chemical Laboratory
and the Museum of Industrial Chemistry, the Lewis Brooks
Museum, the Biological Laboratory, the Anatomical Laboratory, the
Pathological Laboratory, Physiological Laboratory and the Hospital,
and Dispensary. The Engineering Department possesses a well equipped
Mechanical Laboratory and Machine Shop.

The Courses of Instruction are comprised in six Departments, two
of which are Academic, and four professional. The former include the
College and the Department of Graduate Studies: the latter the Departments
of Law, Medicine, Engineering, and Agriculture. In the various
departments there are altogether twenty-five distinct Schools, each affording
an independent course, under the direction of professors who are
responsible for the systems and methods pursued.

Elective System.—The system of independent Schools assumes
that opportunities for study and instruction are privileges to be sought
voluntarily and eagerly. Students are therefore allowed to elect for themselves
the courses of study to which they are led by their individual tastes
and proposed pursuits in life, as far as the time appointed for lectures and

examinations permits. Nor is it alone to those who wish to make special
attainments in single departments of knowledge that this freedom of election
commends itself. It has decided advantages also for most of those
students who seek the common goal of liberal education by ways which
varying aptitude, varying preparation, or varying opportunities render of
necessity different. The wisdom of the founder in establishing such a
system has been amply vindicated in the history of this University; and in
recent years many schools of higher education throughout the country have
adopted methods involving this principle.

The Session begins on the Thursday preceding the seventeenth of
September, and continues, with a recess of ten days at Christmas, until
the Wednesday before the nineteenth of June. The first three days of the
session are given to registration, and all students, both old and new, are
required during that time to place their names upon the books of the
University and the rolls of their respective classes. Lecture courses begin
upon the following Monday, and absences will be recorded against any
student not present, from the opening lecture of each course. Students
entering after the first three days will be charged a fee for registration.

Religious Worship.—Morality and religion are recognized as the
foundation and indispensable concomitants of education. The discipline of
the University is sedulously administered with a view to confirm integrity,
and to maintain a sacred regard for truth. Great efforts are made to
surround the students with religious influences; but experience having
proved that it is best to forbear the employment of coercion, the attendance
on religious exercises is entirely voluntary. Divine service is conducted
twice on Sunday in the University Chapel by clergymen invited from the
principal religious denominations; and other religious exercises are directed
by the Young Men's Christian Association.

The Examinations in each class at this institution have, from the
beginning (A. D. 1825), been held in writing. Oral examinations are held
in some departments, but they are auxiliary to the written examinations,
which, in conjunction with the class standing as determined by the daily
work of the student, are the main tests of the student's proficiency. A
special examination may be granted upon physician's certificate of sickness
on the day of examination, or other cause which the Faculty of the
Department in question may accept as adequate ground. See also pp. 87-91.

The written examinations are, in every case, of a public character,
and are conducted by a committee of three professors, one of whom is the
professor whose class is examined. This committee is expected to remain
in the room during examination, supervise the proceedings, determine
doubts, grant special examinations in cases covered by law, and make

report to the Faculty of the results of the examination. The committee,
not the professor solely, is responsible throughout.

Reports.—Reports are sent, at stated intervals, to the parent or
guardian of each student. These reports give the number of times the
student has been absent from lectures; and indicate, as nearly as is practicable,
the nature of the progress made by him in his work at the
University.

Honor System.—For eighteen years after the opening of the institution,
honesty at the written examinations was sought to be secured by
the strict surveillance of the committee alone. This was often found to be
ineffectual. In June, 1842, Judge Henry St. George Tucker, Professor of
Law, offered the following resolution, which the Faculty at once adopted:

This was the beginning of the honor system at this institution. In
subsequent years the pledge was extended so as to preclude the giving as
well as the receiving of assistance. The system has been in operation since
1842 without interruption. Its wisdom and its beneficial results have been
abundantly demonstrated. Its administration imposes no burden upon the
Faculty. Experience shows that the students themselves are its sternest
guardians and executors. Violation of examination pledges has been of
rare occurrence. In every case the culprit has been quietly but promptly
eliminated without need of Faculty action.

The spirit of truth and honor, thus fostered in the examination-room,
has gradually pervaded the entire life of the institution, and all the relations
between the student and professor.

It is not believed to be essential to the honor system, nor indeed to be
right, to expose the examinee to unnecessary temptation to violate his
pledge. The student is regarded as one to be shielded from such influences
and to have his honorable tendencies carefully reinforced and not
wrecked. Hence the examination is held in one place where all candidates
are assembled, and in the presence of a committee of the Faculty.
Conversation among the candidates and absence from the room are discouraged.
They are cautioned to avoid even the appearance of evil.
These safeguards have been found to be in entire harmony with the
absence of espionage. The fact that the candidate is not suspected,

has been found to lead always to the avoidance of conduct which would
give rise to suspicion.

Degrees are conferred only upon examination after residence
The requirements for these degrees are given under the several departments.

Licentiates.—Any person of unexceptional character and habits,
upon producing to the Faculty satisfactory evidence of suitable capacity,
and attainments, may be licensed by the Faculty to form classes for private
instruction in any School of the University, in aid of and in conformity
to the public teachings of the professor upon any subject taught therein.
The employment and compensation of any such Licentiate are matters of
private agreement between him and the student. Students whose preparation
is defective for the work of the University classes may often economize
time and energy by securing the services of a Licentiate at the same time
that they are attending the regular course of lectures.

Directions for New Students.—New students will find it greatly
to their advantage if, as soon as possible after reporting to the Dean of
the University, they will go to Madison Hall, where a committee of students
will be found who will gladly be of any service in assisting them to
get settled as quickly as possible. A general information bureau, a complete
list of boarding houses with prices of board, a directory of the students
with their addresses, a list of all forms of employment open to students,
copies of the University Handbook, and other things of interest to the new
men will there be accessible to all. The General Secretary of the Association
will be pleased to correspond with prospective students during the summer
with regard to all such matters, and it is suggested that every man who
expects to enter the University inform him of that fact. See p. 264.

REGULATIONS.

REGISTRATION.

Registration of New Students.—Applicants seeking admission to
the University for the first time are required to present themselves
to the Dean of the University at his office in the Administration Building
at some time during the first three days of the session. Each candidate
for admission must be at least sixteen years of age. In each instance
a certificate of good moral character must be presented, signed by the
proper official of the institution attended during the previous session, or
by some person of known standing. Each candidate who satisfies these
requirements, and also those for admission by diploma, certificate, or examination
previously stated, will be directed to the Dean of the Department
which he purposes to enter.

The Dean in question will, upon being satisfied that the candidate
is fitted to enter upon the work of the Department, issue to him a card
containing the names of the courses which the candidate proposes to
pursue during the session: this card must be presented in turn to each
professor concerned, who will, on satisfying himself that the applicant
is prepared to pursue the course in question with profit, sign the card
and enter the applicant's name upon the roll of the class. The card must
then be returned to the Dean of the University, who will endorse upon it
the amount of fees to be paid to the Bursar. On payment of these fees
the registration (for the session) of the applicant as a student of the
University will be completed.

Registration of Matriculated Students.—Students who have already
been matriculated as members of the University are required to
present themselves directly to the Dean of their respective Departments
upon one of the first three days of the session, and to conform, as regards
their registration in their respective classes and the payment of fees, to the
requirements stated in the preceding paragraph.

Registration after the Christmas Recess.—On the first week-day
after the Christmas Recess every student is required to register with
the Dean of his department between the hours of nine a. m. and two
p. m. Any student failing to thus register, will have his name dropped
from the rolls of his classes until further order from the Dean, but such
student may be registered by the Dean and restored to his position in his
classes on payment to the Bursar of the delayed registration fee of $3.00.

In case the delay in the student's return is due to illness, or to

other like providential cause, the Dean is authorized to remit the fee and
excuse the absence; in every other case the absences due to delayed return
shall be recorded as unexcused absences; shall be so reported to the
parent or guardian of the student; and shall be given serious adverse
weight in considering the fitness of the student for graduation.

Delayed Registration.—Students are not permitted to delay their
registration through carelessness or for inadequate reasons. Any student,
new or old, who fails to present himself for registration during the first
three days of the session and between the hours of nine a. m. and 2 p. m.
on the first week-day after the Christmas Recess will (except in the case
of an applicant admitted to special examinations, as provided in a previous
paragraph) be admitted to registration only upon the consent of the President,
and will be charged a special registration fee of three dollars.

RESIDENCE, ATTENDANCE AND GRADE.

The Academic Year extends from the morning of the Thursday
preceding the seventeenth of September to the evening of the Wednesday
before the nineteenth of June. Thanksgiving Day is a holiday, and there
is a Christmas recess beginning on the morning of the twenty-fourth of
December and closing on the evening of the second of January.

Attendance is required of each student throughout the entire
session, with the exception of the days above indicated, unless he has
received permission to be temporarily absent, or to withdraw before its
close. Leave of absence is granted by the Deans for sufficient reasons,
and must in every case be obtained in advance. Voluntary withdrawal
requires the written consent of the student's professors and of the Dean
of the University. While in residence each student is required to attend
regularly all lectures and other prescribed exercises and all examinations
in the courses which he pursues (unless excused for cause) and in every
way to conform to the regulations of the University.

Absence from the University is permitted upon the written leave
of the Dean of the Department in which the student is registered, obtained
in every case in advance. But leaves of absence for the purpose
of accompanying the athletic teams or musical clubs on excursions will
not be granted, except to the officers and members of the organizations.

Absence of Athletic Teams and other Student Organizations.—
The laws relating to absence from the University of members of the Athletic
teams are found in the section upon Physical Training (pp. 265-269).
The same resolutions apply, mutatis mutandis, to members of other student
organizations.

Absence from Lectures may be excused by the professors, but

only for sickness or like providential cause. Such excuses must be rendered
on the day of the first lecture attended after the absence. Unexcused
absences from lectures render the student liable to be disciplined by
the Faculty. In case of delayed entrance the student is regarded as
having been absent from all lectures or other exercises that have been
given, in the courses which he enters, since the beginning of the session.

Absence from Examinations will not be excused except for sickness
on the day of examination (attested by a physician's certificate) or
other cause which the Faculty of the Department by special order may
approve. An unexcused absence, or the presentation of an unpledged
paper, is counted as a total failure in the examination in which it occurs.
A student whose absence from examinations is excused is admitted to the
Fall Examination in the subject in question in each of the departments
where such examinations are held. Where necessary, he is admitted to
a special examination.

Change of Schools, with transfer of fees, cannot be made except
by special order of the Faculty. But a student may change from one
class to another of the same School with the advice and consent of the
professors concerned.

The Grade of the Student in any course, either for a term or for
the session, is determined by the combined class standing and the result of
examination, each being considered in such proportion as the professor in
charge may decide for the course in question.

Class Standing in any course is determined by the regularity of
attendance of the student upon the lectures (and laboratory or other
similar exercises where included) in the course in question, and by the
faithful performance of his work as indicated by his answers when
questioned, by his written exercises, notebooks, the faithful performance
of laboratory (or other similar) work, etc. Students are regarded by
the Faculty as under the law of honor in matters affecting class standing
as in examinations.

Probation.—Any student in the College or the Department of
Engineering whose term grade is below forty per cent. at either the
December or the March examination in each of two subjects will be put
upon probation until the following examination: a like failure at that time
will make it necessary for him to withdraw from the University. Any
student whose term grade is below forty per cent. in all courses at any
examination will be required to withdraw from the University.

A student in any Department of the University who is evidently making
no real progress in one of his courses of study may at any time, after
due admonition, be required to drop the course in question. A student in

the College or the Department of Engineering who falls under this rule
will be put upon probation if he fails to attain a grade of forty per cent. in
a single one of his remaining courses at a succeeding examination.

Voluntary Withdrawal from the University requires the written
consent of the student's professors and of the Dean of the University.
When a permit is granted upon the University Physician's certificate that
withdrawal is necessary on account of the student's ill-health, which must
not be due to dissolute conduct, the fees are returned pro rata. Under
no other circumstances will there be a return of fees.

Enforced Withdrawal is inflicted by the Faculty for habitual delinquency
in class, habitual idleness, or any other fault which prevents
the student from fulfilling the purposes for which he should have come
to the University. See also "Probation" above.

CONDUCT.

Conduct.—The laws of the University require from every student
decorous, sober, and upright conduct as long as he remains a member of
the University, whether he be within the precincts or not. They require
from the student regular and diligent application to his studies, and if, in
the opinion of the Faculty, any student be not fulfilling the purposes for
which he ought to have come to the University, and be not likely to fulfill
them, either from habitual delinquency in any of his classes, or from
habitual idleness, or from any other bad habit, the President, upon recommendation
of the Faculty, may require him to withdraw from the University,
after informing him of the objections to his conduct and affording
him an opportunity of explanation and defense.

Drunkenness, gambling, and dissoluteness are strictly forbidden, and
the President may dismiss from the University for the residue of the
current session every student found guilty of them, or may administer
such other discipline as seems best under the circumstances.

The Keeping of Dogs by students within the University grounds
is forbidden.

In all cases of Discipline, the law requires that the student must
first be informed of the objections to his conduct and afforded an opportunity
of explanation and defense.

Prohibition of Credit.—An act of the Legislature prohibits merchants
and others, under severe penalties, from crediting minor students.
The license to contract debts, which the President is authorized to grant,
is limited (except when the parent or guardian requests otherwise in
writing) to cases of urgent necessity.

DORMITORY, BOARD, MEDICAL ATTENDANCE.

Dormitory.—Students may reside in the University dormitories, in
private houses approved by the President, or in their homes. Any change
of residence during the session should be reported at the office of the
Registrar.

The occupant of a dormitory has first right to it, and may reserve
it for the next session by registration with the Bursar before the end
of the current session; thereafter any vacant dormitory is assigned to the
first applicant. But unless a deposit of fifteen dollars is made with the
Bursar on or before September 1, the room is forfeited. No dormitory
may be sublet or used for other than its proper purpose.

Boarding.—Students may board and lodge either in the University
precincts or at their homes, or in houses licensed by the Faculty.
It is the duty of the President to withdraw the license from any house
in which the regulations as to the conduct of students are not observed.
Change of lodging should be reported at the Registrar's office.

Medical Attendance.—Any student who is temporarily ill from
causes not due to his own misconduct is entitled, without charge, to
all necessary medical advice from the University Physician; and, if
necessary, to skilful nursing in the University Hospital at a reasonable
charge for his maintenance while there. This exemption from charge
does not apply to cases requiring surgical operation, chronic cases, or to
constitutional disorders of long standing from which the student in question
was suffering at the time of his coming to the University. Students
who take the responsibility of boarding at houses not approved by the
Board of Health forfeit the right to this exemption. Students residing
at their own homes, who waive this right, are entitled to the remission
of a portion of the University fee. Any student sent to the University
Hospital by the advice and under the care of a physician other than the
University Physician will be required to pay the regular hospital charges
for private patients.

Physical Training.—No student is permitted to undertake an
amount of work greater than he may reasonably be expected to do well
without detriment to his physical health; and every student is advised
to take a due amount of daily outdoor exercise, for which ample opportunities
are afforded upon the athletic fields, the tennis courts, the golf
course, and in other forms; and in addition, to make systematic use of
the facilities afforded without cost for definite and judicious physical
training at the Fayerweather Gymnasium, under the advice and instruction
of the Director and his assistants. Further information upon this important
subject will be found upon a subsequent page.

EXPENSES.

All tuition fees, University fees, the contingent deposits, rents of
rooms in the University buildings, and charges for service in the
same, are payable upon entrance. Under special conditions the President
is authorized to allow credit; but these deferred payments are
in all cases to be properly secured.

Students permitted to register during a term are required to pay the
full fees for the term in which they register.

Under no circumstances will there be a return of fees except upon
certificate from the University Physician that withdrawal from the University
is necessary on account of the student's illness, which must not
be due to dissolute conduct. Upon receipt of the University Physician's
certificate, the President will return the fees, pro rata.

A student's necessary expenses are as follows:

I. University Charges, which are the same for all students, except
College and Graduate students from Virginia, as stated in a following
paragraph;

II. School Fees, which depend upon the course of study pursued;

III. Cost of Living, board, etc.

I. University Charges.—Under the first head are included (a)
University fee, $40 ($10 for Virginians in Academic Departments), and
(b) the contingent deposit, $10; as well as (c) the special Entrance Examination
fee of five dollars, (d) the delinquent registration fee of three
dollars, and (e) a fee for reöxamination in any subject where any of
these is incurred.

(a) The University Fee goes to the fund intended to defray the general
expenses of the University. Payment of this fee entitles the student,
without additional charge, to the use of the Library; to the privileges of
the Gymnasium, with baths, private lockers, etc., and the advice and aid
of the Instructor in Physical Culture; and to free medical attendance by
the University Physician in cases of illness, including, if needed, care
and nursing in a well-equipped hospital maintained on the University
grounds, under the limitations stated in a preceding paragraph. It
also covers all regular examination and diploma fees.

(b) The Contingent Deposit is liable for any damage to the University
property for which the student is responsible, or for violations of Library

or other University rules. It is returned at the end of the session, less any
charges that may have been made against it; it is, therefore, not necessarily
an expense, although mentioned in this connection.

From this deposit there will be deducted the sum of $2 for the support
of the Chapel Services and General Religious Work of the University,
unless within one month after registration the student shall request the
Bursar not to deduct this contribution. It will be observed that this
amount also (which is less than the average contribution made by the students
who have given toward the Chapel Fund in past years) is not a
necessary expense, as the support of the religious work of the University
is left entirely to the option of the students and professors. This method
of collection is intended merely as a substitute for the canvass formerly
made, and it is the desire of the Faculty that the students will thus unite
with them in sustaining the religious work of the University.

(c) The Special Entrance Examination Fee of five dollars is required
of all applicants for admission to the University by examination
who for good reason are unable to be present at the regular entrance
examinations on the dates as set forth on p. 71 of the catalogue.
All candidates who take entrance examinations on the regular dates, are
examined free of charge.

(d) The Delinquent Registration Fee of three dollars is charged
where the student or candidate, through carelessness or other inadequate
reason, fails to present himself for registration, during the first three days
of the session; or where the student fails to register with the Dean of his
Department, between the hours of 9 a. m. and 2 p. m. on the first week
day after the expiration of the Christmas Recess, unless his late return
be due to illness or like providential cause.

(e) The Re-examination Fee: A student of the College who attains
in any course a grade below 75 per cent. but not below 65 per cent. may,
upon the written recommendation of the Professor in charge, be admitted
by the Faculty at their final meeting in June, to re-examination upon that
course, during the registration week of the following September. The
fee for each re-examination shall be $5.00 payable to the Bursar on or
before the 15th day of July.

II. School Fees.—Under the second head is comprised the charge
for instruction, including the Tuition Fees proper, and in some cases,
the cost of apparatus and materials consumed in laboratory work.

In the Academic Departments the tuition fee for one School is $50;
for two, $30 each; for three or more, $25 each; except that in Analytical
Chemistry the charge for tuition and materials for one course is $50 and

for apparatus about $10, and for both courses $100, and for apparatus,
about $15. In the Chemistry courses for undergraduates, a laboratory fee
of $10 is charged, and apparatus and materials are furnished at cost. The
charges for a graduate course in Chemistry are: Tuition, $50; laboratory
fee, $10; apparatus and material are furnished at cost. In the Physics
Courses a laboratory fee of $5 is charged. The fee for agricultural Chemistry
is $15, but this course is free to students in the Schools of Chemistry,
to Virginia students, and to unmatriculated farmers; and in Zoölogy or
Comparative Anatomy there is a laboratory fee, for materials, of $10 in
the undergraduate courses and $20 in the graduate courses.

Students from Virginia.—In compliance with the statute (Virginia
Code 1887, Ch. 68, Sec. 1554), the University offers to white male
students from Virginia who are sixteen years or more of age, instruction,
without charge for tuition, in all the Schools of the Academic Departments
(excepting the laboratory courses in Chemistry and Physics), subject
to the conditions stated below. Such students are required to pay the University
fee to Virginia students in the Academic department of $10 and
make the usual contingent deposit. They are also required to pay the regular
laboratory charges for materials, etc., in the courses of study where such
charges occur. If they occupy rooms on the University grounds they are
of course subject to the usual charges for rent and service. The saving
to Virginia students varies from $90 to $130, according to the number of
Schools elected.

To be entitled to free tuition as a Virginia student under the above
mentioned statute, it is necessary that the applicant's parents be bona fide
residents of the State if he be under twenty-one years of age; if he has
attained his majority, it is necessary that he be a bona fide resident. A
resident of the State is one who is living in it at the time the application
is made and has no present intention of removing therefrom in the future.
No other person can honestly avail himself of this privilege.

White Male Teachers and Superintendents of the Public Schools
of Virginia will be admitted, during the last three months of the session,
to the Schools of the Academic Departments of the University without
payment of fees, upon presentation of certificates that they have been
teachers in the Public Schools of the State during the year.

Immediately after the Spring Examinations any of the following
courses may be entered upon with profit by an applicant prepared for
them: Latin, Greek, French, Spanish, German, English, English Literature
and Rhetoric, History, Moral Philosophy, Mathematics, Astronomy,
Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, Geology, and Descriptive Botany.
Special courses for teachers will be offered in English and Mathematics,

and perhaps in several other subjects during the approaching spring term,
if the demand for them is sufficient.

Applicants for admission as teachers are required to send in their
names to the President of the University not later than March 5th.
Lodgings can be had near the University. The only necessary expense
will be for board, lights, and washing, which will together cost
from $5 to $7 a week.

Privileged Students.—Ministers of the gospel may attend any of
the Academic Schools of the University without the payment of tuition
fees. The same privileges will be extended to any young man who
submits testimonials that he is an approved candidate for the ministry,
and unable to meet the expenses of education at the University without
aid.

In the Department of Law the fee for each regular year's course
is $100. For selected courses, the fee is estimated according to the proportion
which the work chosen bears to the whole. For such irregular
courses, the fee may be estimated approximately, by multiplying the number
of lecture periods in the courses taken, by 30, and dividing by 100. The
result will approximately represent the fee in dollars.

In the Department of Engineering the fee for Applied Mathematics
is $25 for one course, $50 for two or more; for other subjects, the same as
in the Academic Departments—except for students who attend the regular
course of instruction for a degree in Engineering as laid down in the
programme, pp. 229-233. For these students the fee for tuition is $90 for
the first year, $80 for the second, $70 for the third, and $60 for the fourth.
A laboratory fee of $10 is charged in General Chemistry Course 1; an
additional charge of $60 is made for materials and instruction in Analytical
Chemistry to students of Mining Engineering. The payment of the Department
fee entitles the student not only to attend all the regular courses
for one year, but also to take over, without additional charge, such courses
of any previous year as he may have failed to complete. Virginians are
entitled to a reduction of $45 a year from the charges.

III. Cost of Living.—Under the third head fall the expenses of living
and the cost of books and stationery.

A student may, either alone or with a room-mate, rent a dormitory,
and take his meals in the University Commons, or in an approved private
boarding-house; or he may take both room and board in such boardinghouse,
in which case he pays no room-rent or servant's hire to the University.
The price of University rooms ranges, according to their desirability,
from $30 to $50 for the session, exclusive of heat and light; the
large majority rent for $40; but there are a few single rooms at $30, and a
few whose price is above that of the majority. If two students occupy one
room, each pays half the rent; the University charge for service is $9 per
session for each student, whether there be one or two in a room.

The minimum cost of furnishing a room may be placed at $15, fuel
and lights combined cost $25 for the session, and washing from
$1.50 upward per month. With strict economy the cost of board, fuel,
lights, service, and laundry can be brought within $15 a month as an average
for the session. Rooms and board may be had in private families or
boarding-houses at varying prices.

The cost of books and stationery varies much with the branches
studied. It is probably greatest in the Department of Law, where, for the
entire three years' course, it amounts to about $105. But in this department
as in that of Medicine, the books purchased form the necessary nucleus

of a professional library, and their cost does not belong to transient
expenses.

Pecuniary Aid to Students.—Effort is now being made to provide
a fund, the income of which will be applied in rendering financial
aid to deserving students. In the meantime, opportunity is afforded
as far as possible to those who are desirous of helping themselves
by their own industry, and it may be safely stated that any student
with sufficient resources to carry him through the first half of the
session, can be reasonably sure of obtaining work enough to pay
living expenses and university fees for the remainder of the college
year. While it is difficult for any student to be assured of remunerative
work before he reaches the University, correspondence with reference to
such employment may be had by addressing the Secretary of the Committee
on Student Self-Help, Madison Hall.

The University Commons.—This Building conveniently situated
near the center of the University, provides an attractive Dining Hall,
with accommodations for more than 250 students at once. Board is
furnished at the rate of $15 per month, which means that students in
straitened circumstances need not be deprived of daily association with
their more fortunate fellows. The Commons is the means of greatly
reducing a student's living expenses at the University.

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 Association
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 course in Analytical Chemistry). The Scholarship shall
entitle the incumbent to exemption from tuition fees in the Schools referred
to, and to the remission, if he be a Virginian, of the University fee;
if he be not a Virginian, to 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)
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.

SPECIAL SCHOLARSHIPS.

One of the Miller Scholarships is awarded, at the close of each

session, to the candidate who passes with the highest aggregate of marks,
in Physics 1B, Chemistry 1B, and Biology 1B. The tenure is for two
years, and the emolument is two hundred and fifty dollars a year, with
free tuition in the Scientific Schools. Other conditions are stated in
connection with the Department of Agriculture.

fund of the Leander McCormick Observatory. They are assigned to
advanced students who take Astronomy as their major subject and occupy
a portion of their time in work connected with the Observatory. They are
appointed upon the recommendation of the Director of the Observatory,
to whom applications for further information should be made. The value
of each Fellowship is three hundred and fifty dollars a year, with the
remission of all fees.

The John Y. Mason Fellowship, founded upon the gift of Archer
Anderson, Esq., of Richmond, Va., is awarded by the Visitors to some
competent and deserving graduate student, born in Virginia and in need of
such assistance. The value is two hundred dollars a year.

The William Cabell Rives Fellowship, founded in honor of the
distinguished statesmen of that name by his grandson, Dr. William Cabell

Rives, of Washington, D. C., is awarded by the Board of Visitors, on the
nomination of the President of the University, to a graduate student in
History. The value of the fellowship is two hundred and fifty dollars,
with remission of all fees.

The Board of Visitors Fellowships.—The Board of Visitors makes
annual appointment, upon the recommendation of the professors in charge
of certain designated Schools, of four graduate students to Fellowships.
Each incumbent is required to occupy a portion of his time in work connected
with the School from which he is nominated. The value of each
Fellowship is two hundred dollars a year, with the remission of all fees.
