WINS RHODES CONTEST.
Scholarship at Oxford Goes to Grin
nell Man.

Iowa City, June 2O.-Joseph G. Wal
Lesser, a graduate student of Iowa col
lege at Grinnell, Saturday won the
Rhodes scholarship for Iowa. He was
appointed Saturday afternoon after a
consultation of the committee of col
lege presidents which had charge OF
the competitive examination in this
state. Mr.. Wallaser's close competitor
was Carl Wesley Ross, junior in the
State University. 1t was announced
by the committee that the two young
men were practically equal in their
qualifications as shown in the various
tests; Walleser, however, had the one
advantage that he holds the degree OF
bachelor of arts, while Ross will not
get his degree until next year, and on
this ground the final decision was
made.
Joseph G. Walleser, who won the
scholarship, is one of GrinnellS pOpu-
lar students, and is a self-supporting
young man. He stands high in SchOl-
Grship and also as an all around man.
Throughout his course in Grinnell he
has been closely identified with stu
dent enterprises, and he has been es-
pecially prominent as an athlete. He
holds an Intercollegiate championship
medal for indoor athletic work, he is a
strong football player, and he was
member of this years track team.
The scholarship is one of the very
choicest of educational prizes offered
in this country. 1t is one of the per-
manent scholarships founded and en-
dowed by Cecil Rhodes, two being ap-
portioned every state and territory in
the United States. 1t carries with 1t
admission to England's great univer-
sity at Oxford and an income OF 81 500
per year for three years OF study
there. 1t is the purpose Of the gift to
bring more American students to Ok
ford and thereby bring future gener-
ATOMS OF American men of affairs in
closer touch and knowledge OF the
spirit and sympathies of Englishmen
and to make stronger the bond be-
tween the two nations.
Although Iowa has two of these
scholarships at its disposal, only one
is awarded now. The other will be
offered for competition next year, &C
cording to present plans. The tests
include not merely tests of mental
qualifications, but also of physical
training and the social and moral
qualifications. In fact, candidates
prominence in athletic sports and his
faculty of making his way among men
count for more than the mere educa-
tional qualifications.

A WEALTHY SOCIETY.

An attack has recently been made
on the American Bible society, on the
ground that II pays its officers too large
salaries. that II has larger income
thnn II needs, and that, notwithstand-
ing this, 1t is soliciting subscriptions.
The controversy Is OF no particular
interest to the majority OF the readers
of the News" but the figures present
cd prove that the distributing OF Bibles
has become a large business. They
are given by the Rev Philip S. Moxon,
quoted by the Worcester Spy, He says
that four officers receive salary OF
$4,000 each. The amount charged TO
office expenses alone is SSS,o62, while
the total cost OF the much advertised
house-to-house work among 100000
colored people has been s3,655 out of
the years reported receipts OF sll2,4O6.
He further says;
"A final question ls, Can II be true
that the American Bible society Is
needing any increase Of its present
yearly receipts, when for many years
II has not used its income" The an
nual report U90S. page 32) shows avail
able funds to the amount Of nearly
100000 which the society did not use
last year, while the year before nearly
$4,000 was carried over (Report, 1902,
