Munroe, Wiley to Study at Oxford On Rhodes Grants

George B. Munroe 3L and Richard A. Wiley 1L will go to Oxford University next fall on Rhodes Scholarships, Harvey H. Bundy, regional committee chairman, announced Saturday night.

Munroe, who will graduate from the Law School in January, competed in Illinois and in the north-central area as a resident of Joliet, Illinois. He graduated from Dartmouth in 1943 and in 1944 was first in a class of 1100 midshipmen at Columbia. He retired last week as director of the Legal Aid Bureau.

Munroe was an All-American forward on the Dartmouth basketball team, Ivy League high scorer in 1942-43, and played in the Basketball Association of America on the St. Louis Bombers two years ago and on the Celtics last year.

Wiley, a Springfield resident, graduated summa cum laude from Bowdoin last June, where he was editor in chief of the Bowdoin Orient. He plans to study jurisprudence at Oxford.
