states Of the Empire as, by hypothesis.
Rhodesia had upon TIE other states of
South Africa Would not the
British Empire, once formed into a
solid union. inevitably, almost
mechanically draw the other great
Anglo Saxon nations into a closer
and more perfect union? And in
that browning achievement. Rhodes
believed lay the guarantee of the
peace and happiness of the world. It
may be a dream, but his dreams had a
trick of coming true. But in any
case, consider the foresight, the
wonderful imagination. 1t was not
for himsef that be built, it was for
the sake of human happiness. for the
good of humanity. Was this a mean
or selfish ambition ? No. 1t was a
noble abmition aud it was towards
this quail that Rhodes directed his
entire fortune. This was the great
end toward which he strove all his
life. Do you still agree with his
enemies that he is a selfish money
grasper, INSCRIPTIONS politician, a
dim, spasmodIc figure moving about
in worlds half realized with no
definite aim but to amass a fortune
Toward this same great purpose, =
Anglo-Saxon unity and universal
peace. he bequeathed his millions, as
the last. the greatest and most en-
during way by which he could fulfill
his service to his race. His will
established over two hundred scholar
ships at Oxford to be divided between
the British Colonies, the United
States and Germany. He believed
that ignorance alone divides. that
education is the foremost of all
unifying influences, and that know.

ledge undermines race prejudice and
weakens the hatred Of nations. The
essential purpose of these scholarships
is to bring together, in the years of
keenest Impression and moulding
influences, young English speaking
men. gathered from all parts of the
world, to live together and to bring
about a mutual understanding. He
did not look for technical education !:
he did not want bookworus and
burners of midnight oil; he wanted
truth, courage, unselfshness,
character and bond of race. He
wanted brotherhood of young men
who knew each other, who taught
and learned from each other and who,
by their unceasing and increasing
common influence, should farther and
farther travel the paths that should
lead to strength and union, to under
standing and to peace. There is no
question that always among the forces
making for the harmony of peoples,
there ought to be and will be found
the Cecil Rhodes foundation.
Now let US consider in brief what
this remarkable man accomplished in
only twenty five years. We see this
slckness-strlcken man going to South
Africa just at the moment when the
value of that country for trade and
commerce became clear to a far seeing
man like himself we see him farm
ing and mining and step by step
amassing his wealth; we see little by
little his power becoming evident; we
see him influencing his government,
pushing forward his colonists,
arguing. fighting and gradually
gathering the reins Of South Africa
into his own hands. Coming here

with a purpose, with more than the
ordinary amount of natural ability.
inexhaustible energy and an in
Yincible will. nothing could with
stand the powerful pressure that he
brought to bear on the obstacles that
stood in his path. The difficulties
which aruse were swept aside like
straws before a wind; even his
enemies were forced to join his ranks
and become his soldiers. For a time
Rhodes held such sway over South
Africa, as few other men in history
have experienced. But his achieve
ments were not narrow, they did not
all run In the same channel, they
were extended along economic,
political and educational lines. How
many men can boast of as broad q
can say that in twenty-five years they
amalgamated the diamond output of
the world, that they mastered half a
continent and added to their mother
country more territory than France.
Germany, Austria Hungary and Italy
combined, that they organized
transcontinental railroad. which when
finished will be the greatest road ever
built, and in the end gave their
fortune for one of the highest interests
OF humanity-education
To that class of rich men VIII Q
devote their wealth to noble purposes.
Cecil Rhodes truly belongs. As
much as any man that ever lived he
fulfilled the purpose for which men
are created. He was successful not
only in the narrow money-making
sense, he was successful in the true
sense of the word. His success grew
