he has studied
1t should be noted that while candi-
dates are no longer required to pass
an examination before election to a
Rhodes scholarship, such election
does not of itself give exemption from
examinations required by the Oxford
University regulations. Graduates of
approved universities in this country,
however, are now accorded what is
known as Senior Standing, which ex-
empts them from the study of Greek
and from the entrance and intermedi-
ate examinations at Oxford. Under
graduates can secure credit for
work done in recognized colleges or
universities upon submitting their
records showing courses taken and
gradings obtained.
The ordinary Oxford degree is the
B. A. but the range of subjects in
which that degree may be obtained is
a wide one, including Classics, Juris-
prudence, Modern History, Modern
Languages, English Language and
Mathematics, Physics,
Chemistry, Animal Physiology, Zool-
ogy, Botany, Geology, Astronomy,
Science, Theology and
Oriental Subjects.
Students whose previous training
fits them for advanced study or re-
search may. be admitted to study for
advance degrees of Bachelor of Sci
snce, Bachelor of Literature, Bachelor
If Civil Law, Or Doctor Of Philosophy.

STUDENTS TELL HOW
THEY VIEW MOSCOW
SOUTH IDAHO STUDENTS AS A
RULE NOT PLEASED WITH
THE HILLY COUNTRY

ooh would the gods some gife d
gle us, to see ourslls as 1thers see
US" wrote Bobby Burns and it might
do the people of Moscow lot of
good if they could see themselves as
they are seen by the students who
come here from various parts OF the
state. 1t might do the people of
Moscow some good to know just what
the students think of Moscow and her
ciizens. Those who laugh at the
freshmen with their green caps,
might be surprised to learn that 1--WE
look just as funny to them as they do
to US" to use the words of a "frosh. !"
At the university a novel scheme
to learn what the students think of
Moscow has been put into practice.
New students are invited to write
their impressions of Moscow and
many have done So If we could pub
lish those impressions it would cause
stir here. The students, with the
frankness of youth, tell just what
Moscow and her citizens and her busi-
ness men look like to them.
South Idaho students are unfavor-
ably impressed with the hills of Mos
COW. Most of them come from sec
tions where the country is level. Many
of them come from sage brush deserts
where "black eyed peas would not
sprout and grow without irrigation,
but where enterprise and work have
made the country "blossom like the
rose" and they do not appreciate the
beauty" of Moscow's hills, dry as
they are at this time.
Some of the students charge that
they have been forced to pay extor-
tionate prices for articles purchased. |
Others think that without the stud
ents Moscow and north Idaho would !
be dull place, indeed. Evidently as
this is their first visit to Moscow they |
are unable to realize how the town
and university grew to their present
proportions without their presence |
and aid. A noticeable feature is that
the girls seem to have better opin-
do. Several of the boys speak of
Moscow being such small place and
tell of the "cities" from which they
came. AS Boise is the largest "city"
in Idaho, and it has less than 25,OOO
some of these comparis-
ons are interesting and amusing.
Taken as a whole the opinions are
and might be of value if
the people of Moscow could read all
Of them, but they would hardly be
good advertising for Moscow if pub
lished. A noticeable feature of the
opinions is that none of the students
show disappointment in the univer-
sity and its faculty and equipment. 1t
$ certain they had nothing better at
heir home town or district.

SCHOLARSHIP At

PRESIDENT LINDLEY CHAIRMAN
OF BOARD OF SELECTION

The Rhodes Scholarship Trust has
announced that the selection O
American college men for scholar
ships at Oxford University which has
been suspended during the war will
be resumed in October of this year
Under the present arrangement sixty
four scholarships are to be selected
from the United States in October,
1919, and sixtyfOur in October. 1920,
and Idaho will have the privilege of
selecting one Rhodes scholar in Oc-
tober, 1919 and two in October, 1920.
The first scholar selected will enter
Oxford in January 1920 and the others
in January and October, 1921, respect
lively
The scholarships are of the value
Of $500 year which sum is paid to
the scholars quarterly, and the scholar
ships are tenable for three years. Be-
fore the war the sum of $500 was
sufficient to cover the expenses of the
full year taking into account q liberal
allowance for travel during vacations
as well as the expense of residence at
Oxford during term. Under present
conditions, however, it is difficult to
determine how far this will be true and
1t seems reasonably certain that a
scholar must be prepared to rely up
on his own resources to the extent of
possibly 5000 or $500 per year.
To be eligible for a Rhodes scholar-
ship candidate must,
1. Be citizen of the United States
with at least five years domicile and
unmarried
2. By the first of October of the
year in which he is elected have pass !
ed his 18th and not have passed his
25th birthday.
8. BY the first of October Of the
year in which he is elected have COM !
pleted at least his sophomore year
at some recognized degree-granting
university or college of the United
States.
The selection of Rhodes scholars
from Idaho is in the hands of a COM
mittee of selection recently designated
which consists Of President e. II. L

lected on the basis of their college
or university record and all candi-
idates will be expected to appear be-
fore the committee personally prior
to the time the selection is made.
Before candidate can compete for
a Rhodes scholarship he must be Sc

thousand to two thousand students by
four candidates. The University of
Idaho at Moscow and the College of
Idaho at Caldwell will each have the
privilege of selecting two candidates
for the competition, while graduates
and undergraduates from colleges in
other states who now reside in Idaho
may become candidates in this state
upon receiving the necessary desig-
nation from their institution. The
regulations provide that a candidate
may apply either from the state in
which he has his ordinary private
home or residence, or from
any state in which he has received at
least two years of his college educa-
ton prior to making the application.
The colleges and universities in
choosing candidates, and the select
ion committee in selecting a Rhodes
scholar from such candidates, are in
by the Rhodes trustees to

Distinct Advantage to Country

STATED by Bad Roads.

Discussing the need for good roads, a
Buick dealer said:
Good roads have always been re-
garded as mark of civilization be-
cause they are essential to some of
the simplest and most elemental things
that civilized people do. If a man
wants to build a house he must have
some reasonably good means of getting
the material to the spot. And il an
other man wishes to take his produce
TO market he can not very we'll haul

try.
All TINS brings up a point in con-
nection with good roads, namely, that
they are essential to everybody. They
are not merely for the man with the
motor car. They are facilitating inter-
course between the people in the coun-
TRY and those in the towns and cities.
NO other means of communication can
take their place.
