STUDENTS FROM VIRGINIA.

In compliance with the Statute (Virginia Code 1887, ch. 68, § 1554),
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 Practical
Physics.

The total University fees of an Academical Student from Virginia
are only $47; his necessary expenses amount to but $200, exclusive of
books and stationery; of this about $100 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. Examinations for admission
are required as follows:

1. For admission to the School of Latin, on forms, syntax and Books i., ii. of
Cæsar's Commentaries, with Cicero's Orations against Cataline.

2. For admission to the School of Greek, on forms, syntax and Books i., ii. of
Xenophon's Anabasis.

3. For admission to the School of Mathematics or Natural Philosophy, on Arithmetic,
Plane Geometry and Algebra through quadratics.

For admission to the other Schools 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.

White male teachers and superintendents of the Public Schools of
Virginia will be admitted, during the last three months of the session,
to the Schools of the Academical Department of the University without
payment of fees. Applicants will present certificates from the
State Superintendent, or from their respective County Superintendents,
that they have been teachers or superintendents in the Public Schools.

Applicants for admission are requested to send in their names to the
Chairman of the Faculty not later than March 25th. University dormitories
will be assigned, free of rent, in the order of the application,
as far as the vacant rooms will serve. Lodgings can also be had near
the University, or in Charlottesville. The only necessary expenses
will be for board, lights and washing, which will together cost from
$3.50 to $5.50 a week. For further information address the Chairman
of the Faculty.
