Five Firsts In Jurisprudence
Help Record Of 1918

oxford, England. The annual re-
port of the Rhodes trust shows that
the American scholars during 1913 had
a better scholarship record than In any
year since the system was started.
The whole number Of Rhodes schol-
ars In residence during the year was
It's. Altogether the Rhodes system
now represents about an eighteenth
part Of the whole student body.
Only three Rhodes scholars are work
ing merely for a pass degree. Most
of them are out of honors. and on the
whole they seem to be standing the
test OF Oxford standards well except
In classics. Only one first was OBJ
tanned In classics, and this was by an
American from the Pacific coast. In
the other departments the scholars
held their own. In Jurisprudence they
gained FIVE firsts out of seven awarded.
The question Of what becomes of
the Rhodes scholars after their many
years Of study Is answered In the re
port:
More than o~ne-fourth Of the 431
Rhodes men who have been graduated
from oxford since the system was
started have kept on with education
as their life work. About 100 have
turned to law, nearly fifty have gone
