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 University
charges, 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so allowed may be withdrawn by the Faculty at any time,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.
