RHODES SCHOLARSHIP OPEN NEXT YEAR Duncan '17 and McGowen '19 Chosen by University Faculty. Cecil Rhodes, who added vast territory in South Africa to the British Empire, left a score of years ago a large sum to the University of Oxford to establish scholarships in sev eral countries, among them, Canada and the United States, for the purpose of defraying the expenses of a number of young men from these coun tries at that institution. The purpose of Mr. Rhodes was, no doubt, to make friends for England in the event of a con flict such as the world has just passed through. How much England benefited by these scholarship is not the present .$subject of inquiry. 2 Until 1919 candidates for 8the Rhode's scholarships were c. required to pass an examination cvon Latin, Greek and mathema 6 tics for entrance to Oxford. The applicant must have at dleast gone through the sopho comore class. In the present year ' the requirements for admis -sion have been taken off for American students and selec tion is to be made by a commit tee composed of former schol ars, with one member as chair man from one of the leading institutions . in the several States. Four points are to be considered by the committee in making the selection, given in this order: Scholarship, char acter, leadership, athletic rec ord. The committee hold an examination to determine the appointee, if it is deemed nec essary. Every institution having less than 1,000 students is en titled to to representatives be fore the committee of selection. The University of South Caro lina will be represented by James Duncan, B. S., 1917, who has been at Harvard as fellow and instructor since his gradu ation, and Frank P. McGowan, Jr., A. B. 1919, now teaching in West Virginia. The former is making investigations in physics; the latter is preparing for the study of law. If either is successful before the final committee, the University will be worthily represented. -The successful candidate will leave for Oxford in January, 1920, to stay three years. He will receive 300 points, nearly $1,500 a year. Owing to increased costs he will have to spend in addition to this sum about $300 a year. PROF. GI1EEN WRITING NEW HISTORY OF U. S. C. Records of World War Veterans to be Included. Professor E. L. Green pub lished three years ago "A His tory of the University of South Carolina," a volum.. of nearly five hundred pages. This has been so well received that Prof. Green is preparing to pubilsh as soon as practicable the com panion, or second, volume, "University Biographies." It was impossible in the com pass of the first volume to in clude the lives of the professors officers and trustees. Sketches, with portraits, wherever pos sible of these men from 1801 to the present will form the con tents of the companion volume, which will appear, it is hoped, before the close of 1920 from the University press. The two volumes will give a complete record of the Uni versity of South Carolina dur ing its more than a century of its existence.
