Rhodes Scholarship Offered Again; Applications Fall Due November 2

Elections to Rhodes Scholarships, suspended since 1939, will be resumed here at the University and throughout the country this December, Frank Aydelotte, American Secretary of the Rhodes Trustees announced last week

Applications, which may be obtained from Professor C H. Haring '07 of Duhster House and other college representatives, are due on November 2, and candidates elected will enter the University of Oxford in October 1947.

A general relaxation of previous Committents accompanied the renewal of competitions in order to extend eligibility to war-affected veterans. The age limit of war service candidates has been advanced to 32, while civilian candidates still must be included within the 19 to 25 age group.

The usual bar against marriage is waived for veterans who also need certify only one year of college level study; non-veterans must have two years to their credit.

With the addition of 16 awards to the normal complement, a plan to continue GI subsidies for exchange scholars, and an allowance of *100 in addition to the regular *400 stipend for civilian students Rhodes Scholarships this year and next provide an enlarged opportunity for American undergraduates. Total number of awards for 1946 and 1947 now stands at 48 apiece.

Stipulations required by founder Cecil Rhodes in his will establishing the fund stress scholastic attainments, high moral qualities, demonstrated physical vigour, and traits of leadership. Financial need constitutes no special claim.

Traditionally, Rhodes Scholars are completely unregimented in their course of study. Although appointments are made for two years, an additional two semesters may be awarded to outstanding students.

Among Harvard professor who studied at Oxford on Rhodes benefits are Crane Brinotn '19, William Yandell Elliott, Mason Hammond '25, Professor Haring; Ernest Hooton, and F. O. Matthiessen '27.
