represent them here. At the confere nee
in Boston some time ago between Mr.
Partin and the presidents of seven New
England colleges although no cast iron
rules were made for all states. the fol
lowing conditions were agreed upon
In Vermont, L. V. NJ. and Middle bury
each have the appointment of one stu
dent to hold scholarships for three years
but no appointment is to be made until
two years from now: 10 man under l.
or over % years old is eligable; nc
student without Greek will be admitted
and he must be at least junior in col
lege; but no one is eligible who has beer
out of college more than two years
Although these conditions have not beer
acted upon by the trustees, yet they may
be accepted as authoritative and will
PROBABLY be accepted by them. The
purpose of Rhodes was to make a closer
union between Great Britain and thu
United States, and with this in view, the
conditions are such that students SEN
there are to be thoroughly representative
} men, but yet not so Old and character sc
$ thoroughly developed that the Oxfor6
life Will not effect them.
