SCHOLARSHIPS.

UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS.

Eleven scholarships, entitling the successful candidates at a competitive
examination to prosecute the studies of one session at the University
of Virginia without the payment of matriculation or tuition fees, are
open to new-comers from all the States at the beginning of the academic
year (October 1st). Of these eleven scholarships, five are in the Academic
Department, and two severally in the Departments of Medicine,
of Law, and of Engineering. The examination is uniform, and embraces
Latin, Greek, Mathematics, and English. In order to secure positive
attainments, the right is reserved to reject any papers that do not reach
the standard required for a Distinction at the Final Examination in Junior
Latin, Junior Greek, and Junior Mathematics, and do not show a competent
acquaintance with the grammatical and rhetorical structure of the
English language.

The subjects of examination in Latin, Greek and Mathematics for
these scholarships will be found under the head "Junior Class" of those
Schools. For more precise information apply to the Professors.

FREE SCHOLARSHIPS.

The Visitors, in September, 1882, founded three free scholarships, to
be called the Corcoran Scholarship, the McCormick Scholarship, and the
Vanderbilt Scholarship. For information respecting these apply to the
Chairman of the Faculty.
