failed to furnish qualified men, and the
British Columbia scholar has not yet
been elected.
Cecil John Rhodes was dominated
by a world wide idea when he made
the remarkable will which provides
for some 160 permanent scholarships
at England's great university. It was
not the result of a momentary caprice,
but the outgroWth or life of careful
thought. He believed that the desti-
mics Of the world are vested in the
Anglo-Saxon race, and he hoped to
bring about closer sympathy between
the widely separated peoples of that
race by educating chosen young men
at that great well spring Of English
thought, Oxford. The English colo
mics, Germany and the United States
all send scholars, as provided by the
will.
The election of the men in the
United States is based upon the direc-
tons in the Rhodes will, in SO far as
local conditions permit. To quote
from the official memorandum of the
Rhodes scholarships in the United
States, issued annually by the Rhodes
trust, Candidates must be unmarried,
and must be citizens of the United
States. Candidates are eligible who
have passed their nineteenth birthday,
but have not passed their twenty
| fifth birthday on October LIST OF the
year in which they are elected. !.
1t has been decided that all scholars
shall have reached, before going into
residence, at least the end 5sof their
sophomore or second year work at
some recognized degree-granting uni
versity or college In the United
States. Race, color and religious be-
| lief disqualify no one.
Before election, candidates must
pass the entrance examination to OK
ford, known as Responsions, in the
following subjects: Arithmetic, alge-
bra or geometry, Greek grammar,
Latin grammar, translation from Eng
i lish into Latin, and translation from
Greek and Latin into English. The
classic requirements are rather diff
cult for those accustomed to Ameri-
