resentatives in the lower house
Of the general assembly.
This examination will also
serve as: an entrance examination
for those students who desire to
enter the college without com
peting for a scholarship. By this
arrangement the applicant may
be saved the loss of time and
money, and the disappointment
of coming to college without the
requisite preparation to proftably
take up college work. Candidates
for classes above Freshman are
advised to stand this examination
for preliminary admission, but
examinations for classes other
than the Freshman class will be
given only at the college.
Precedence in admission and
accommodation of new students
will be given to scholarship stu
dents and those who have passed
the local examination for admis-
sion, and are best equipped in
health, maturity and scholarship
to do the work of the institution.
Where scholarships are vacated
after July 18th, they will be
awarded to those making the
highest scholarship average at
this examination.
Free tuition will be given upon
a written statement by the parent
or guardian Of inability to. pay,
certified to as correct by the
county auditor. There are printed
forms for this certificate which
will be furnished by the president
upon application. The average
cost to a free tuition student last
session, including books, medical
fee and uniforms, was less than
$110 for the full nine months.
