Several of these scholarships are already occupied. The vacancies in other counties will be filled as follows: Examinations are to be held in the several counties, under the supervision of the county superintendents thereof, on the second Friday and Saturday of June, at such places as the superintendents may select. Candidates for the examination must be approved in the common English branches by the superintendents. Questions will be furnished from the University, and the answers, in writing, will be sent to the University for judgment. The scholarship will be awarded to the candidate who passes the best examination, provided he has a standing in each subject of not less than 75, and an average standing on all the subjects of not less than 80 per cent. Each pupil who enters the examination may choose whether he will be examined to enter upon a course in the Colleges of Engineering, Science, or Agriculture, or one of the courses in the College of Literature and Arts.
