STATE STUDENTS.
To render education at the University available to meritorious
young men of limited means, provision has been made for the
admission of fifty students, without payment of Professors' fees
or University charges.
The advantage is meant to be restricted to those who are not
themselves, and whose parents are not, in a situation to incur the
expenses of education.
Their connection with the University is to continue two years,
but for extraordinary proficiency the Board of Visitors may prolong
the term. They stand, in all respects, except expense, on
the same footing as other students, enjoying the same privileges,
and subject to the same laws.
By way of remuneration to the State for the assistance thus
afforded, they are required to sign an engagement to teach in
some public or private school or academy within the limits of
Virginia, for two years after leaving the University.
The selection of students, on this foundation, is made by the
Faculty on the first day of July, annually. Application for
vacancies, accompanied by proper testimonials, addressed to the
the 25th of June.
☞ Persons interested will be pleased to observe the following
particulars:
1. The applicant is requested to state his age, which must be
over seventeen years, and to designate the several schools of the
University he may wish to enter, observing that the enactments
require him, if under the age of twenty-one years, to attend at
least three, unless, for good cause, the Faculty permit him to
attend a less number.
2. In order to be admitted, the applicant must exhibit satisfactory
testimonials—1st. Of irreproachable moral character.
2d. Of capacity, as well by partial cultivation as original vigor
of mind, to profit by the instruction given at the University.
3d. If he desires to enter the schools of Mathematics, or of
Natural Philosophy, that he possesses a familiar acquaintance
with all the branches of Numerical Arithmetic, or if he desires
to enter the school of Ancient Languages, that he is qualified to
commence the study of the higher Latin or Greek authors; and,
4th. That neither he nor his parents are in a situation to incur
the expense of his education without aid.
