Board Will Select Rhodes Scholars

About 70 Harvard undergraduates are candidates for the 1949 Rhodes Scholarships. The winners will be chosen today by District Committees, and announcement of those selected will be made next Monday.

Thirty-two out of 400 national candidates who are to receive the scholarships will be eligible for $1440 a year for study at Oxford University in England.

All men trying for the grants must have completed at least two years of college in this country, be unmarried, and be between 19 and 25 years old in order to meet the requirements of founder Cecil Rhodes' will. Those chosen for the scholarships have, in the opinion of the committee, achieved distinction in character, intellect, or a combination of both.

The men representing Harvard, who were named by the heads of the college, will be judged tomorrow by the Massachusetts committee. Those who survive will go on to the New England District body which makes the final decision.
