Something About GrinneII Student Who
Gets the Valuable Rhodes Scholar
ship.

1etS tho valuable NnooeS SCHOLAR
ship.
Special to Times Republican
Girinnell, June 20.-Joseph Garfield
Walleser, graduate of Iowa College at
Grinnell, class of 1903 won the Cecil
Rhodes scholarship by preliminary
vote of three college presidents out of
four, at Iowa City on Saturday last.
The vote was then made unanimous.
This gives him three years at Oxford
University, England, with a cash al
lowance of $500 each year.
Mr.. Walleser was born in Nashua,
Iowa, Sept. IS, 1882. He entered Iowa
in 1903, and has spent the subsequent
year in post graduate work in Iowa
College. The satisfactory passing of
the severe examination for entrance to
oxford, given at Des Moines some
weeks ago and which only five students
In the state attempted, attests his
scholastic attachments; and the very
strong endorsement given him by the
faculty and student body OF Iowa Col
lege as regards his physical and moral
standing in his college course is suf-
ficient guarantee in this respect. Iowa
College is gratified at this additional
honor for one of her sons, and the class
of 1904, with whom Walleser has been
especially counted in the last year is
correspondngly proud, while Mr. Wall
eser himself is as modest as becomes
the winner of the highest honor in the
strongest contest in the state.
