Catalogue of the University of Virginia

To render education at the University accessible to meritorious
young men of limited means, provision has been made
by the Legislature for the admission of one student from each
Senatorial District of the State, without payment of matriculation
and tuition fees and rents. This provision is meant to

be restricted to those who are not themselves, and whose parents
are not, in a situation to incur the expense of their education
at this Institution, without aid.

State students are appointed by the Faculty upon satisfactory
testimonials of fitness. The term of appointment is for
two years, but for extraordinary proficiency it may be prolonged.
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 aid afforded them, they are required, on admission,
to sign an engagement to teach in some public or private
school in Virginia, for two years after leaving the University;
the emoluments of such service enuring, of course to their
own benefit.

The applicant for a State appointment should state his age
(which must be at least seventeen,) and designate the schools
of the University he may wish to enter. He should submit
satisfactory testimonials of irreproachable moral character,
and of capacity, as well by partial cultivation as original vigor
of mind, to profit by the instruction given at the University.
It should also appear that neither he nor his parents are
able to incur the expense of his education without aid.

The Faculty will proceed on the 3d of July next to make
appointments of State students for vacant districts. The
following are the districts; all of which with the exception of
the 3rd, 10th, 12th, 13th, 20th, 26th, and 33rd will be vacant
