A prejudice once existed against the University
that it was for the rich alone. This however, is believed to have
been dissipated by the fact, now become well Known to the
public, that a very large proposition of the Virginian Students,
and not the least distinguished of them, have belonged to fam-
ilies in very moderate, and often in indigent circumstan-
ces, who frequently themselves earn the money with which
they defray their expenses. The system of State students,
also, which was first devised and recommended by the fac-
ulty, nearly 20 years ago, has assisted to remove this un-
founded prejudice, many persons educated on their
foundation, having already attained to prominent and re-
sponsible position of eminent usefulness. And it may be
observed here, in passing, that the authorities have thought
themselves obliged to admit this year, as usual, notwith-
standing the perfectly destitute condition of the University, as
many State Students as applied, [compiling?] that the Gen.
Assembly, on its part, would provide the sum necessary
to maintain the Institution. Indeed it is right to State,
(without designing to make a parade of what was only an
indispensable dictate of patriotic duty, in the present did-
tress), that the Faculty have permitted no one, whether State
Student, or other, to be denied admittance for want of means
to pay tuition fees.
