~Mb'ht ~dtoh!r:slhip:s. A system of one hundred and fifty State Scholarships has been founded by the Board of Visitors and Governors of St. John's College on the annual donation of $15,000 received by the College from the State. Each of these Scholarships entitles the holder, in whose name it is issued, to exemption from the payment of room rent and tuition fees, if, on examination, he is found qualified to enter any class in the Preparatory Department or Col­ lege. The Preparatory Department corresponds, in the scope and quality of its studies, to a High School. Each Senatorial District of the State is entitled to six of these Scholarships, which are filled by .the School Commissioners of each District; and in case more than six shall be nominated from any District, the Faculty will select the six best qualified to enter the Institution. All Scholars thus selected are required to conform to the rules and regulations of the College. In addition to tuition and room rent, the College authorities engage during the coming year to furnish board in the College Commons, (including fuel, lights, washing and text-books,) to. all incumbents of State Scholarships at the rate of $175 per annum, payable in advance, in semi-annual instalments of $87.50 at the beginning of each term in the scholastic year. Books, furnished to the holder of a State Scholarship, if damaged or lost, will be charged to him at their full cost. An. inspection of 'such Books is made every month.
