APPLY FOR RHODES SCHOLARSHIP NOW

Men in the University who intend to be candidates for the Rhodes Scholarships at Oxford for the year 1922-23 may hand in their applications at President Lowell's office any time before Saturday, October 8. A scholarship is tenable for three years subject to the continued approval of the college at Oxford of which the holder is a member.

The stipend of a Rhodes Scholarship is nominally 300 pounds a year, but for the present scholars will receive a bonus of 50 pounds in addition, making a total of 350 pounds per annum. The trustees regard the extra 50 pounds as a bonus and not as a permanent addition to the scholarship because they cannot be certain either of the value of money in the future or of their own capacity to continue it indefinitely. Nevertheless the bonus will not be withdrawn without adequate notice, or in any case where a candidate has been elected in expectation of receiving it.

To be eligible for a Rhodes Scholarship in 1922-23 a man must be an unmarried citizen of the United States with at least five years' domicile; he must have been born between October 1, 1897, and October 1, 1903; and by October 1, 1922, he must have completed at least his Sophomore year in a college or university of recognized standing. He must apply either for the state in which he ordinarily has his private domicile or for any state in which he has received at least two years of his college education before applying. In submitting his name to President Lowell, it is essential that each applicant tell in what state he wishes to be a candidate.

The process of selection of Rhodes Scholars is somewhat complicated. For the year 1922-23, there will be one scholarship filled from every state in the Union except the following sixteen: Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming.

The qualities which are considered in making the selection of Rhodes Scholars are defined as follows:

"1. Qualities of manhood, force of character, and leadership.

"2. Literary and scholastic ability and attainments.

"3. Physical vigor, as shown by interest in outdoor sports or in other ways."

When the time for making applications to President Lowell expires on October 8, he will select from among the applicants an indefinite number to nominate for the scholarships, selecting these men on the basis of the qualities above mentioned. In every state in the country there is a State Committee of Selection and to these State Committee of Selection and to these State Committees President Lowell will send his nominations in October. The final selections will be made by the State Committees on December 3
