r. j. Wylic, Oxford secretary of the
Cecil Rhodes Trust. left PHILADELPHIA
this morning, after staying in the city
overnight.
Mr.. Wylic has been visiting American
colleges and universities to make ar
rangements for election of Rhodes schol-
ars this autumn. after a two year sus-
pension on account of the war.
Mr.. Wylie came TO Philadelphia to
call on Provost Smith, of the Univcr-
sity of Pennsylvania. who is chairman
OF the committee to select Rhodes
scholars from this state.
Mr.. Wylie explained the new plan
under which the scholarships are to be
resumed. There are two scholarships
in every state, open to American male
citizens between the ages of nineteen
and twenty five at the date of their
election, who have spent not less than
two years at recognized degree grant
ing college or university.
The New Plan
Instead of the qualifying examination
formerly required, the applicant must
now present to his state committee Il
statement that he has been selected to
represent his institution as a candidate
for the scholarship. He may apply for
the scholarship either in the state where
he has received his college education, or
in the state of his home residence.
Colleges with less than 1000 students
may present two candidates in any one
state in one year institutions with 1000
and less than 1000 students, three can
didates institutions with 200O or more
students, four candidates. These can
didates appear personally before the
state committee of selection.

filed with the secretary of the Pennsyl-
vania committee not later than Octo-

Rev. s. A. Devan, Bryn Mawr; Ben
jamin Price, Pittsburgh, and Chris
tophcr Morley, of the editorial staff of
the EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER.
With the exception of Provost Smith
all members of the committee of selec-
tion are former Rhodes scholars.
Mr.. Wylie explained that the Rhodes
Trust had decided to make use of the
services of former Rhodes scholars on
the selecting committees because these
men. who have all studied at Oxford
under the Rhodes bequest, are familiar
with the conditions of Oxford student
life, and know what kind of men will
profit most by what Oxford has to
offer. Those who desire further infor
nation can obtain application blanks by
writing to Mr.. Johnson. the secretary
of the Pennsylvania committee.

THE LATE SERGEANT DoooY.

The late Daniel Doody, who died Friday
evening October oath, at his residence, 20
East Oakland avenue, after a short Illness,
was a well-known and highly respected citi-
zen of Pleasantville. Mr.. Doody served 80
years in the service of Uncle Sam, and was
ON the retired list. During the Spanish
American war, in his capacity as first ser
geant of the famous 600 marines who were
the first to land at Guantanamo, Sergeant
Doody distinguished himself by his fearless
bravery in leading his famous marines ag-
ainst the Spaniards. and the quick manner
in which they routed the enemy is history.
The late Sergeant was a modest unassuming
officer who was loath to speak of his brill
liant achievements during his long and hon
orable career in the service of his country.
Reverend Father Moran, during his beauti-
full sermon over the body of the deceased on
Tuesday morning, at st. Peters church. Daid
a glowing tribute to the Sergeant when he
feelingly said there would not be amy Boil
shevism in America if everybody loved and
respected the American flag as the Sergeant
did. Sergeant Doody was laid to rest be-
side the body of his beloved daughter Kath-
ryn at the Holy Cross Cemetery in Philadel-
phia, where a detail of soldiers from the
League Island Navy Yard met the body.
Sergeant Edward Carroll, of Philadelphia, a
nephew of the deceased, draped the casket
with a large American flag. Relatives from
Philadelphia. Wilmington, Sedgwick. Pa.
and Washington were present. The pastor
and an assistant from st. Philips Church,
Philadelphia. where the deceased was bap-
tized, offered up the final prayers as the
bugler sounded taps. The late Sergeant is
survived by his widow and a brother Will
lam, who is a United States Gauger, having
served in that capacity for the past 25 years.
Funeral Director Race conducted the funeral
in an able manner Many beautiful floral
designs SEN by his neighbors and friends
surrounded the casket, the most notable
being a magnificent design sent by a
large number of his friends from the AL
dine Hotel, Atlantic City. May his sou
and the souls of the faithful departed
through the mercy of God rest in peace.
Amen
