The University has had a most
prosperous year. The Catalogue
which will appear in a few days,
shows total enrolment in all de-
partments of nearly four hundred
students, with two hundred in the
Academic Department alone. The
interest taken in State Scholarships,
and the number Of inquiries made
indicate that the number of students
will be largely increased next session.
Young men all over the State are
seeking the State Scholarships, and
it is certain that they will be every
one taken before the LIST. of Sep
TENDER.
The method of securing these APP
pointments will interest many of
your readers. City and County
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton are required by law TO give
notice and hold competitive examina-
tions during the month of June.
The young men who pass these
examinations are listed in the order
of merit and these lists are sent by
the State Superintendent to the
Representatives and Senators from
each County, and they make the
appointments. The State has
established two hundred and seventy
five of these free scholarships at the
University, and this allows two ap-
pointments to each Senator and Rep
resentative in the present General
Assembly. If there are any vacan-
cies in any of the counties or districts,
and any young men left unappointed
who were on these lists, on the 10th
of August, the President Of the
University is authorized and re-
quired to appoint such young men tc
such vacancies. The appointments
by Senators and Representatives are
good for four years, or as long as the
person appointed fills the place
creditably. The appointments BY
the President are good for only one
year. Both classes of appointments
are good in the Collegiate Depart
ment of the University only, which
is the Agricultural and Mechanical
College of the University and was
endowed by the general government
1t is on account of this endowment
that the State gets these free Scholar
ships. The State Scholarships secure
free tuition to the holder. Will

travelling expenses, amount to on,
