Privileged Students.—Ministers of the gospel may attend any of the
Literary or Scientific Schools of the University without the payment of tuition
fees. The same privilege will be extended to any young man who submits
testimonials that he is an approved candidate for the ministry, and unable
to meet the expenses of education at the University without aid.
Prohibition of Credit.—An act of the Legislature prohibits merchants
and others, under severe penalties, from crediting students. The license to
contract debts, which the Chairman is authorized to grant, is limited (except
when the parent or guardian requests otherwise in writing) to cases of urgent
necessity; and these, it is hoped, parents and guardians will prevent, as far
as possible, by a timely supply of the requisite funds.
