UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.

The next session will begin on the 10th of September and continue
till the 20th of July following.

The expenses for the session of upwards of ten months are as
follows:—

           

Board, including bed and other room furniture, washing and attendance.	$100
Fuel and Candles to be furnished by the Proctor at cost, and five per cent, estimated at	20
Rent of an entire Dormitory $16; for half if occupied by two students.	8
Use of Library and public rooms,	15
Professors' fees, if one professor be attended, $50; if two, each $30; if more than two, each $25.	75
	$218

The instruction is conveyed, partly by lectures, and partly by
the study of approved text books, and in all cases the assiduity of
the student is tested by a rigid system of examination.

Every student, under the age of twenty-one years, is required
to attend at least three Professors, or two Professors and the Demonstrator
of Anatomy and Surgery, unless, when he matriculates,
his parent or guardian shall have prescribed in writing the schools
which he is required to attend, or unless the Faculty, for good
cause shewn, shall allow him to attend less than three.

Monthly circulars are written to the parents and guardians, stating

the attendance of each student at lecture, and exhibiting his
proficiency and deportment.

To be admitted, the student must be sixteen years of age. He
is required to wear a uniform dress, the particulars of which are
detailed in the enactments. This rule will be rigidly enforced;
the prescribed uniform will have to be worn on all occasions, both
within and without the precincts when the student appears out of
his room, except that in warm weather he may wear such light
gown or coat within the precincts, as the Chairman may approve.

The attention of parents and guardians is particularly drawn to
this enactment, in order that their sons or wards may not be provided
with clothes which cannot be permitted to be worn.

Students entering the University after the commencement of
the session, shall pay board only for the time unexpired at the
yearly rate, but they shall pay the full fees and rents at whatever
time they may enter.

In the Medical School, one full course at the University is considered
by the authorities of the University of Pennsylvania as
equal to one course there.
