OXFORD SCHOLARSHIPS.

If college were nothing more than
curriculum it would b a dull place
and not worth going to. Fortunately
most colleges are something more.
Cecil Rhodes knew this when he en-
dowed so many oxford scholarships.
A wise American woman knew it, too,
and in enumerating the reasons why
a girl should go to college she placed
the obtaining of knowledge first, then
happiness, health friends, ideals and
permanent interests. You win notice
that most of these things come from
doing something besides reading
books. They come from being mem
Der of a select community and partiCi-
pating to the full in that community's
life. 1t is because there is no place in
the world where the social life is so
unique and valuable that the old Ok
