PRIVILEGED STUDENTS.

Ministers of the Gospel may attend any of the schools of the
University, without the payment of fees to the Professors. The
same privilege will be extended to any young man preparing for
the ministry, on the following conditions:

(1.) He shall submit for the consideration of the Faculty an
application, accompanied by testimonials, relating to the fact of
his being a bona fide candidate for the ministry, to his good
standing in the Church of which he is a member, to his intellectual

capacity and his inability to meet the expenses of education
at the University without aid.

(2.) No Professor shall be required to form a new class or
assume any other additional labor for the exclusive benefit of this
class of students.

(3.) In order to entitle such a student to the privilege of
gratuitous instruction in any school of the University during a
second session, he must prove his ability to profit by such continued
instruction, by exhibiting such evidence of proficiency
during the first session as shall be satisfactory to the Professor of
the school.

The Faculty, at their discretion, may allow any man of undoubted
moral character, above the age of twenty-three years, to
attend lectures in any of the schools of the University, and to
reside out of the precincts, exempt from the rules and regulations
prescribed for the government of students, except only that he
shall pay the usual Professors' fees, and the usual compensation
for the use of the public rooms, and shall observe all those laws
of the Institution which enjoin respectful and orderly deportment.
But the privilege so allowed may be withdrawn by the Faculty
at any time, when, in their opinion, it has been used to the
evil example of the students, or otherwise to the injury of the
Institution.
