CHANGE IN RHODES SYSTEM
Election of Scholars VIII Hereafter be
Spread Over Three Years De-
cidcS Committee.

Changes in the system of selecting
Rhodes scholars are explained in a
letter received recently from the Ok
ford university authorities by Presi-
dent II. NJ. Mcvey of the state uniyer-
lsity.
Under the new system, which will
go into effect in 1916 the election of
scholars will be spread over three
years, instead of two years, as for
merly, scholars being elected from
thirty-two states each year. and the
states being divided into three groups,
"A,"."B" and &c"
North Dakota is placed in group
&C." Scholars from this group will
not be elected in 1916, although those
elected in 1915 will be eligible for ap-
pointment in 1917.
The committee believes that this
system will result in a greater num-
Der of applications for the scholar
ships, and will also make easier for
the students to secure enrolment in
the colleges Of their choice.
