UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. 
INTEREST IN EDUCATION. 
In order to show the great interest very early manifested in the cause of education by the people of Texas, the following extracts from the Constitution of Coahuila and TPxas, and from the Declaration of Independence,. are here appended : 
TITLE VI OF TRE CONSTITUTION OF COAHUILA AND TEXAS, GIVEN IN SAL­TILLO, ON THE ELEVENTH OF MARCH, 1827. 
ART. 215. In all the towns of the State a suitable number of primary schools shall be established, wherein shall be taught reading, writing and arithmetic, the catechism of the Christian religion, a brief and simple expla­nation of this constitution, and that of the Republic, the rights and duties of man in society, and whatever else may conduce the better education of youth. 
ART. 216. The seminaries most required for affording the public the means of instruction in the sciences and arts useful to the State, and wherein the aforementioned constitution shall be fully explained, shall be established in suitable places, and in proportion as circumstances go on permitting. 
ART. 217. The method of teaching shall be uniform throughout the State, and with this view also to facilitate the same, Congress shall form a general plan of education, and regulate, by means of statutes and laws, all that per­tains to this most important object. 
Extract from the Declaration of Independence of the Republic of Texas, made March 2, 1836 : 
It [the government of Mexico] has failed to establish any public system of education, 11.lthough possessed of almost boundless resouroes [the public do­main], and although it is an axiom in political science that unless a people are educated and enlightened it is idle to expect the continuance of civil lib­erty or the capacity for self government. 
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. 
THE UNIVERSITY .AND THE STATE. 

An act was passed by the Congress of the Republic of Texas January 26, 1839, by which the President of the Republic was authorized and required to have surveyed from the vacant lands of the Republic fifty leagues of land, which were set apart and appropriated for the purposes of university education. 
By act of the Legislature of February 11, 1858, the University of Texas was eetablished, and the sum of one hundred thousand dollars of United States bonds appropriated to the establishment and maintenance of the same. This a.ct also appropriated, to the endowment of the University, one section of land out of every ten sections re~crved for the use of the State, under the provision of the acts of 1854, to encourage the construction of railroads and the improvement of navigation. 
The preamble to this act declares that "from the earliest times it has been the cherished design of the people of the Republic and of the State of Texas that there ehall be established within her limits an institution of learning for the instruction of the youths of the land in the higher branches of learn­ing and in the liberal arts and sciences, and to be so endowed, supported and maintained as to place within the reach of our people, whether rich or poor, the opportunity of conferring upon the sons of the State a thorough edu­cation.'' 
Extract from the Constitution of the State, adopted 1876: 
SEC. 10. The Legislature sha.11, as soon as practicable, establish, organize and provide for the maintenance. support and dire<'tion of a university of the first class, to be located by a vote of the people of this State. and styled "The University of Texas," for the promotion of literature, and the arts and sciences, including an agricultural and mechanical department. 
SEC. 11. In order to enable the Legislature to perform the duties set forth in the foregoing section, it is hereby declared that all lands and other prop­erty heretofore set apart and appropriated for the establishment and main­tenance of "The University of Texas." together with all the proceeds of sales of the same heretofore made or hereafter so to be made, and all grants, donations and appropriations that may hereafter be made by the State of Texas, or from any other source, shall constitute and become a permanent university fund. And the same as realized and received into the treasury of the State (together with such sums belonging to the fund as may now be in the treasury), shall be invested in bonds of the State of Texas, if the same can be obtained; if not, then in United States bonds; and the interest accruing thereon shall be subject to appropriation by the Legislature to accomplish the purpose declared in the foregoing section; provided, that one-tenth of the alternate sections of the lands granted to railroads, reserved by the State, which were set apart and appropriated to the establishment of "The Uni­versity of Texas," by an act of the Legislature of February 11, 1858, entitled "An act to establish 'The University of Texas,"' shall not be included in or constitute a part of the permanent university fund. 
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. 
SEC. 12. The land herein set apart to the University fund shall be sold under such regulations, at such times, and on such terms, as may be pro­vided by law; and the Legislature shall provide for the prompt collection, at maturity, of all debts due on account of University lands, heretofore sold, or that may hereafter be sold, and shall in neither event have the power to grant relief to the purchasers. 
SEC. 13. The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, established by an act of the Legislature, passed April 17, 1871, located in the county of Brazos, is hereby made and constituted a branch of the University of Texas, for instruction in agriculture, the mechanic arts and the natural sciences con­nected therewith. And the Legislature shall, at its next session, make an ap­propriation, not to excetid forty thousand dollars, for the construction and completion of the buildings and improvements, and for providing the furni­ture necessary to put said college in immediate and successful operation. 
SEC. 14. The Legislature shall also, when deemed practicable, establish and provide for the maintenance of a college, or branch University, for the instruction of the colored youths of the State, to be located by a vote of the people; provided, that no tax shall be levied, and no money appropriated out of the general revenue, either for this purpose or for the establishment and erection of the buildings of the University of Texas. 
SEC. 15. In addition to the lands heretofore granted to the University of Texas, there is hereby set apart and appropriated, for the endowment, main­tenance and support of said University and its branches, one million acres of the unappropriated public domain of the State, to be designated and sur­veyed as may be provided by law; and said lands shall be sold under the same regulations, and the proceeds invested in the same manner, as is pro­vided for the sale and investment of the permanent University fund; and the Legislature shall not have power to grant any relief to the purchasers of said lands. 
The subsequent Legislature made prov1s10n for the location and survey of the million acres of land appropriated by the Con­stitution. 
By an act of the Legislature passed March 30, 1881, the loca­tion of the University was submitted to the vote of the people, and provision was made for appointing the Regents, who were authorized to contract for a suitable building, to elect a faculty, and to take such action as was necessary for the organization of the University. By this act the University was "open to male and female on equal terms, without charge for tuition." 
The vote resulted in locating the University, including the academic and law departments, at Austin, and the medical de­partment at Galveston. 
An act to provide for the permanent endowment, in land or its proceeds, of the University of Texas and its branches was ap­proved April 10, 1883. This act sets apart, in addition to the 
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. 
lands appropriated by the Republic of Texas and by the Consti­tution of the State, one million acres of land, to constitute a per­manent endowment fund for the University of Texas and its branches. 
Under authority of the Regents, the academic and law de­partments were organized, and on the fifteenth September, 1883, the University was formally opened in the University building, then incomplete. The exercises of the University were con­ducted in the Temporary Capitol until the first day of January, 1884, when the rooms in the University building were occupied. 
GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS. 
The University building occupies the centre of a square of elevated posi­tion, bituated in the northern portion of the city. This square, which con­tains forty acres, was reservPd by the Republic of Texas for the University, in 1839, when the city of Austin was first located. The grounds are being rapidly improved and ornamented with shade trees, walks and carriage ways. One wing of the University building, contafoing twenty lecture rooms, has been completed, and the Regents design, as soon as practicable, to finish the main strucrure and to erect such other buildings as may be necessary for the uses of the University. 
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. 
THE UNIVERSITY AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. 
The government of the University is vested in the Board of Regents, consisting of eight members, appointed from different portions of the State, who hold office for eight years. 
The object of the University will be, as a part of the public educational system of the State, to complete the work that is begun in the public schools, by providing in a thorough manner for liberal education in literature, science, and the arts, and for the professional study of law and medidne. 
The academic department, embracing literature, science, and the arts, and the department of law, are now organized. 
The University, through the aid received from the State, offers all its facilities for higher education, to persons of either sex qualified for admission, without charge for tuition. 
In order to perfect a close and vital connection with the public schools of the State, it is designed, as soon as practicable, that a diploma from the approved schools shall admit a student, with­out examination, to all the privileges of the University.

ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT. 
SYSTEM OF INSTRUCTION. 
The University is adapted in its mode of government and in its methods of instruction to students capable of self control, who have received a fair training in the elementary disciplinary studies, and not to those of immature years and undisciplined minds. 
Its organization into distinct schools gives to students, prop­erly qualified, the privilege of electing those departments of study to which they may be led by special tastes or proposed vo­cations in life; but this privilege of election, except in a modified form under the advice of the faculty, is not granted to students under eighteen years of age, nor to those who are candidatesfor degrees. 
The order and course of studies in the academic department are prescribed in the first and second year classes for all students who are candidates for degrees. After a satisfactory comple­tion of the studies of the second year classes, candidates are permitted to elect, with the advice of the faculty, from the col­lective subjects required for the degrees for which they are ap­plicants. 
Candidates for degrees will be admitted into any class, which on examination, they may prove themselves qualified to enter. For those who enter the first year class, it will usually require four years to complete the course for a baccalaureate degree; but there is no rigid cla3s system that will prevent a student who exhibits unusual diligence and aptitude from receiving his de­gree in less time. 
ADMISSION. 

Candidates for admission must be not less than sixteen years of age, and are required to furnish evidence of good moral character. Testimonials of character and attainments from their last instructors will be preferred. 
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. 
ENTRANCE EXAMINATION. 

All candidates for admission who are under eighteen years of age will be examined on the followin~ subjects in English and Mathematics: 
ENGLISH. 
Each candidate will be required to write, upon one of several subjects, a composition, correct in spelling, punctuation, capital letters and grammar, and showing facility in expression and proficiency in constructing sentences and paragraphs. 
The subjects will be assigned upon the day of examination and will be taken, for session 1884-5, from one of the following works: Scott's Ivanhoe; Dickens's Bleak House; Burns's Cotter's Satur­day Night; Goldsmith's Deserted Village. 
It is the experience of our higher institutions of learning that a large proportion of the candidates for admission are deficient in English. It is therefore earnestly recommended that those who seek admission to the University endeavor to fit them­selves to pass the above examination by reviewing the ele­ments of English Grammar, and of Composition and Rhetoric, and by a careful reading, followed by a written analysis, of each of the works above mentioned. 
MA'l'HEMATICS. 
Arithmetic, including proportion, decimals, interest, discount, denominate numbers, and the metric system; Algebra, includ­ing theory of exponents, calculus of radicals, simple and quadratic equations; and the elements of Plane Geometry (corresponding to 5 books Chauvenet's Geometry.) 
Candidates for the degree of B. A. will also be examined in Latin and Greek, in subjects equivalent to the following: 
Latin-Grammar, any two books of Cresar's Commentaries, any three Orations of Cicero, the first two books of Virgil's JEneid, and elementary exercises in translation from English into Latin. 
Greek-Grammar, any two books of Xenophon's Anabasis, any two books of Xenophon's Memorabilia, and elementary exer. cises in translation from English into Greek. Knowledge of ac­cents is desirable, and will in future be required. 
The following pronunciation of Latin is used in the University, and is recommended to teachers preparing students for this in­stitution: 
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. 
LONG VOWELS. 
a as in fatlier (English al.). e as in they (English a Jong), 
i as in nwchine (English ee). o"" in go (English o long). 
u OB iu n1le (English oo). 
Short voweJs like the long ones in qiuzlUy; but shorter in qumi.tity. 
DIPHTHONGS. 
ae a.s ae in German, or as a in day. au as ou in our. 

ei as ei in rein. eu as e and u (Engliab a and oo) ruu together. 
oe as oe in German or as ae. (see above.) 
'Jhe Greek letter y ie like ue in German, or u in French. 
Consonants as in English, with the following exceptions: 

c is always hard, as in car, zincing. g is always hard, a.sin get, give. 
j is like y in yoke. s u.l ways sharp, as in sit. 
t never hissed; natio is nalt-tee-o. v as win we, or simply as v in vow. 
x like ks, nut gz. 
This prouuuciation is virtually the same as that given in Gililersleevc's Latin Grammar. 1'he pronuudatiou of Greek used is found in Goodwin's Grammar, except tlmt the diphthongs are pro­
nounced as in Latin. (See above.) 
SPECIAL STUDENTS. 
ADMISSION WITHOU1' EXAMIMATION. 
All the courses of study in the University are open to students over eighteen years of age without their being required to pass a formal examination for admission, provided they satisfy the professors in charge of the schools of their fitness to pursue the particular course of study they may elect. 
Students under eighteen years of age, who have passed the en­trance examination, but are not candidates for a degree, will be permitted to elect a course of study from the schools of (1) Eng­lish and History, (2) Mathematics, (3) Ancient Languages, (~) Modern Languages, and from no other schools, without spe­cial permission from the faculty.

UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. 
EXPENSES. 

Tuition in the University, in all the departments, is free to all residents of the State of Texas. Each student, on entering the University, will pay to the Proctor a matriculation fee: 
In the Academic Department.......... ............ .. $10 00 
In the Law Department . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 00

In the Academic Department. .. . ...... ... .... . .. ... . . $10 00 
In the Law Department....... ................... . . . 20 00 

Board, with furnished room, can be obtained in the city of Austin, and near the University, at prices varying from $i6 to $20 and $25 per month. 
The University does not furnish dormitories for the use of students. They are permitted to board in such private families in the city as are approved by the faculty. 
A contingent deposit of $5 will be made by each student on matriculation. This is deposited with the Proctor, and at the close of the session the same will be returned to the student if no charges are incurred by him. 
Students who work in the chemical laboratory will pay to the University the cost of the materials they use. 
DEPOSIT WITH THE PROCTOR. 
Parents are advised to deposit with the Proctor the amount necessary for board, books, etc., including allowance for pocket money. This will be paid on the order of the student only for such purposes as the parent may direct. 
APPARATUS, ETC. 
The Schools vf Physics and Chemistry are supplied with the necessary apparatus for illustrating the subjects embraced in the instruction given. The apparatus is all new, and recently selected with great care. 
EXAMINATIONS. 

Regular Examinations: Near the middle of the session and at its close, regular examinations, called the intermediate and final, are held with each class on the subjects studied the previ­ous half session. The final examinations may include some of the subjects studied during the first half of the year. These examinations are conducted in writing, but in some subjects are partly oral. 
Irreg,ular Exmninations: Partial examinations, or written recitations, are held at irregular intervals, generally once a month, as the officer in charge of the instruction may determine. 
Private examinations are not allowed, except by special per­mission of the faculty. 
Absence from a regular examination, except for reasons of absolute necessity, will be regarded as a serious delinquency; when absent from any cause, a subsequent examination can only be granted by a vote of the faculty. 
Those students who may prove, on examination, to be deficient in their studies will be dealt with, according to the character of the deficiency, as the faculty may determine that the interests of the student and the University require. 
ATTENDANCE. 
Uniform and punctual attendance upon all the exoircises of the University, to which a student is due, is strictly required. When absent from any cause, the student must report to the professor in charge of the school in which the absence occurred. In the event of sickness, notice should be sent to the chairman of the faculty. All absences from lectures and recitations to which students are due, without regard to the cause of the absence, are regularly recorded, and each month reported to the parent or guardian. 
DISCIPLINE. 
There are no detailed rules of discipline, but full confidence is felt in the honorable and upright principles of the young men and young women of Texas, for whose benefit the University has been founded. It is, however, the right, as it is the duty, of the faculty, to exclude any student who either by misconduct or by persistent neglect of his studies, proves that he is doing harm to himself or to others. 
It should be understood that a University is for students capa­ble of self-control, for those not requiring constant restraint by parents or teachers. It is unwise to send to such an institu­tion those who are too young to be safely trusted to their own government in morals and habits. 
The University extends its privileges to persons qualified to profit by the instruction given, without charge for tuition. It does not, therefore, receive patronage, and will not extend its privileges to per!llms of idle or dissipated habits. 
Offenses against State or municipal law will be remitted to the civil authorities. Students are temporary residents of the city of Austin, and as such are amenable to its laws. Whenever guilty of any disorder or violation of the municipal regulations, they can claim no special exemption from public disgrace and legal penalties. 
LIBRARY. 
A temporary room has been appropriated for the present use of the Library, and a few standard books have been purchased. When the University building is completed, the Regents hope to be able to furnish the institution with an extensive library, adapted to investig::;.tion and research, and to meet the wants of the students. 
LITERARY SOCIETIES. 
There are two literary societies, the Athenreum and the Rusk, each of which has a hall appropriated to its use in the Univer­sity building. They hold regular meetings, for debate and other literary exercises. 
YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. 
This association is organized among the students of the Uni­versity. Through its organization, composed of the representa­tives of the different churches and others, a wholesome and beneficial influence is exerted. 
A voluntary Bible Class, intended exclusively for students, is conducted by one of the Professors, in the University build­ing, every Sunday afternoon. 
THE SESSION. 

The exercises of the University will begin on the third ·wed­nesday in September, and continue until the third Wednesday in June, with a cessation a few days at Christmas. 
MONTHLY REPORT. 
At the close of each month a report is sent by the Secretary of the Faculty to the parent or guardian, giving a statement of absences from exercises, and of proficiency in studies. 
SCHOLARSHIPS. 
The hope is entertained that citizens of Texas, or others, who possess the ability, will establish scholarships in the University, for the purpose of aiding meritorious students of limited means to co:i;nplete their education. The University, thus permanently established and supported by the State, offers its privileges free of charge for tuition, and affords an opportunity for founding perpetual scholarships, bearing the names of the donors, the en­tire income of which may be devoted to meritorious recipients for their support during their residence at the University.
