Approved March 7, 1912.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
section fifteen hundred and eighty-two of the Code of Virginia
be amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

§1582. Every cadet received on State account, and who
shall have remained in the institute during the period of two
years or more, shall act in the capacity of teacher in some school
in this State for two years after leaving the institute, and such
cadet shall be required to discharge said obligation as teacher
within the three years immediately after leaving the institution,
and said cadet shall report in writing to the superintendent of
the institute on or before the first day of June of each year suc-
ceeding the date of his leaving the institution until he shall have
discharged fully said obligations to the Commonwealth; or, at his
option, he may serve an enlistment in the national guard of the
State, or serve for a period of two years as an engineer on the
State highway commission; and every cadet so received on State
account in said institute on reporting for duty and matriculation
shall be required to enter into a bond, payable to the Virginia
Military Institute, in a sum sufficient to cover the board and
tuition that may be expended in his behalf as such State cadet;
and unless the said cadet shall fulfill his said obligation as afore-
said, he shall be deemed to have violated his contract, and au-
thority is hereby given to the institution to proceed by law for
the collection from said cadet of such amount as may be nec-
essary to cover so much of his board and tuition as may propor-
tionately be due from his failure to teach the whole or any part
of the said two years, or to serve in the national guards or as
an engineer on the public roads of Virginia; and no cadet exe-
euting such bond shall be permitted to plead infancy or the stat-
ute of limitation in bar of recovery of such debt; provided, the
board of visitors may excuse said cadet from any one of these
obligations in such cases as they may deem right and proper;
and provided further, if said cadet shall discharge any one of
these obligations within the time prescribed, he shall be deemed
to have fulfilled his obligation to the State imposed yy this sec-
tion.
