STATE STUDENTS.
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
parents are able to incur the expense of his education without
aid.
The Faculty will proceed, on the 1st day of July, 1871,
to make appointments of State students for vacant districts.

all of which, except those indicated by an asterisk, will be
