faculty satisfactory evidence of suitable capacity and attainments, may be
licensed by the faculty to form classes for private instruction in any Schools of
the University, in aid of and in conformity with the public teachings of the
professor upon any subject taught therein. The employment and the compensation
of any such licentiate are matters of private agreement between him
and the student. Students whose preparation for the work of the University
courses is inadequate may often economize time and energy by securing the
services of a licentiate at the same time that they are attending the regular
lectures.
