Behind in Classical Training.
1.-THE boys are all getting on extremely
WELL" said Mr. Wylie. when I called on
him at oxford fortnight ago. LAS rule
the American students have not had SO
good a classical training as the English or
the Canadian students. A more accurate
and thorough knowledge Of Latin and
Greek is required here than is usual In
American universities. but they make UP In
mathematics. natural sciences ana IN gem
quite as well as the other students and are
able to start on an equal basis. One or
two of the Americans have been In for nnal
examinations for degrees. but the rest OF
years and will not be ready for their nnals
until 1907 and 1908.
tucker Brooke Of West Virginia. at St
Johns College. took a first in English lit
erature, which is great distinction. He
was the only man In his college who took
first at the late examinations. H. A.
Kinds of North Dakota won similar dis
tinction in geology at Queens Col
college that obtained first w. c. Crit
tenden of California got second at Trim
lty in law: D: r.: Porter OF Maine ana N
Bevan Of Rhode Island got an honor at
worcester and ]. A. Brown Of New Hamp-
shire and New College is the first Ameri-
can to take research degree. That means
a great deal. Other Rhodes scholars than
Americans have also done well. Rose of
Balliol. Canadian, who is considered an
American because he prepared in an
classical prizes. Mr.. Behan, an Australian.
astonished the university world by taking
two 'frsts' In different examinations within
twenty-four hours. He went into the ex-
far hon 0f vi w
took q 'frst.' He then went into the final
examinations for law and took first

cred great triumph. Such thing was
extraordinary for man to go from one
severe examination to another without time
to prepare himself. or even to think. and
distinguish himself In such remarkable
manner In both.
Prominent In Athletics.
1.-The boys have done very well in ath-
letics also. Scott Of New York and Bras

with Cambridge He is on the athletic
committee. Paul Young OF Oriel. who
Jump and broad jump. w. A. Fleet OF
Virginia, at Magdalen, has represented
Oxford three times In lawn tennis matches,
and several Of the American Rhodes stu
dents are In college crews.
There have been two deaths among the
Americana W. H. Werner Of South Caro-
lima got sick. went home. and died. A. X.
Reed Of Louisiana died here and We sent
the body home.
'sThe boys have behaved themselves very
we'll At first they found 1t little irk-
some to adjust themselves to certain petty
regulations and restrictions that are not
found in American institutions. but they
soon got used to them and have done
themselves and their country credit.
The big test however, comes next year,
at the end OF the third year Of those who
were admitted In 1904 They will then go
up for their finals and will have an OPP
portunity to show what they are made Of.
Another contingent will be coming over
In 1907 The next examination will take
place In the United States In January, when
each state and territory Of the Union will
