LITERARY SOCIETIES.
There are two Literary Societies (the Washington Society and the
Jefferson Society) of long standing connected with the University.
They meet weekly in their respective halls for the purpose of cultivating
debate and composition, and occasionally hold public exhibitions.
The annual oration before the two Societies will be delivered
on the 26th of June by Hon. A. G. Thurman, of Ohio.
MORALITY AND RELIGION.
These are recognised as the foundation and indispensable concomitants
of education. The discipline is sedulously administered with a
view to confirm integrity and to maintain a sacred regard for truth.
Great efforts are made to surround the students with religious
influences; but experience has proved that the best way to effect this
result is to forbear the employment of coercion, and the attendance
on religious exercises is entirely voluntary. Prayers are held every
morning in the chapel, and divine service is performed on Sunday by
a chaplain selected in turn from the principal religious denominations.
YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
By means of a Young Men's Christian Association new-comers are
brought under good influences, and the energies of students willing
to engage in the Christian enterprises of the neighborhood are called
into active exercise.
FRIENDS OF TEMPERANCE.
The Friends of Temperance are represented by University Council
No. 46, an association which has done good service in guarding young
men against dangerous excesses, and in promoting literary and moral
culture.
MONTHLY CIRCULAR.
At the end of every month a circular letter is addressed by the
Chairman of the Faculty to the parent or guardian of each student,
in which are stated his absences from lectures and examinations, and
any other irregularity of which he may have been guilty, together
with such further information as to the student's progress and conduct
report being on the one hand to incite the student to steady diligence
by eliciting the commendation and encouragement of his friends, and
on the other, to restrain him from idleness and disorder, or to urge
him to amendment by their admonition and advice, the usefulness of
these circulars greatly depends upon the prompt and judicious attention
they receive from those to whom they are addressed. Parents
and guardians therefore cannot be too earnest in communicating
such advice or encouragement as the monthly report may suggest.
UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS.
Eleven Scholarships, entitling the successful candidates at a competitive
examination to prosecute their studies for one session at the
University of Virginia without the payment of matriculation fees or
tuition fees, will be open to new-comers from all the States at the beginning
of the next academic year (October 1st). Of these eleven
Scholarships five are in the Academic Department, and two each in
the departments of Law, of Medicine, and of Industrial Chemistry,
Civil and Mining Engineering and Agriculture. The examination is
uniform, and embraces Latin, Greek, Mathematics, and English; and
in order to secure positive attainments the right is reserved to reject
any papers that do not reach the standard required for 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.
MILLER SCHOLARSHIPS.
In addition to these scholarships there are two in the Agricultural
School, the conditions of which have already been stated on page 42.
STATE SCHOLARSHIPS.
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, an amount of $120 to $150 according to the schools taken.
This provision is meant to be restricted to those who are not themselves,
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 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 University. It should appear that neither he nor his
parents are able to incur the expense of his education without aid.
The Faculty will proceed on the 29th day of June, 1872, to make
appointments of State students for vacant districts. The following
are the districts under the new Constitution, all of which, except
those indicated by an asterisk, will be vacant at the close of the
present session.

FOUNDATION OF SCHOLARSHIPS.
The attention of those who may desire to make a permanent
benefaction for young men who are unable to meet the expenses
of a University education, is called to Virginia statutes with regard
to the foundation of scholarships in the University:—
Whenever any person shall deposit in the treasury of the State or
bequeath money to be so deposited, or bequeath property to be sold
and the proceeds so deposited for the benefit of the University of
Virginia [Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia], to such
an amount that the interest thereof shall be sufficient to educate and
maintain thereat one or more students, the said fund shall be invested
[the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia]. Such donation
shall be irrevocable, but the donor or his heirs, or their guardian
if they be under twenty-one years of age, shall have the right to
nominate and place in the University one or more students to be
maintained on the interest of said donation according to the regulations
prescribed by the Board of Visitors.
