STUDENTS FROM VIRGINIA.

In compliance with the Statute (Act of Assembly, 15 March, 1884), the
University offers to white male students from Virginia over the age of sixteen
years instruction without charge for tuition in all the Academical Schools
except the Laboratory courses in Chemistry and Physics.

The total University fees of an Academical Student from Virginia are
only $47; his necessary expenses amount to but $190, exclusive of books
and stationery; of this about $110 must be paid on entrance.

The Faculty are required by law to be satisfied by actual examination of
the applicant or by a certificate from some college or preparatory school
that he has made such proficiency in the branch of study which he proposes
to pursue as will enable him to avail himself of the advantages afforded by
the University.

Examination is required for admission to the School of

1. Latin, on forms, syntax and Books I., II. of Ceasar's Commentaries, with Cicero's Orations
against Catiline.

2. Greek, on forms, syntax and Books I., II. of Xenophon's Anabasis.

3. Mathematics or Natural Philosophy, on Arithmetic, Plane Geometry and Algebra
through quadratics.

For the other subjects a good knowledge of English and Arithmetic is alone
required. The diploma of a college, or the certificate of a high school, has
appropriate weight with the examiners.
