The trustees of the will of the late Mr. Cecil Rhodes issue the following memorandum for the information of educational authorities and intending candidates for scholarships in Canada: The election of scholars in Canada under the Rhodes bequest will take place each year during the month of January. The scholars will begin residence at Oxford in October of the year for which they are elected. Each scholarship is tenable for three years, and is of the value of £300 per annum. Candidates shall be British subjects and unmarried. They must have passed their nineteenth, but not have passed their twenty-fifth birthday, on October 1st of the year for which they are elected. An elected scholar must have reached at least the end of his sophomore or second year's work at some recognized degree-granting University or College of Canada. Candidates may elect whether they will apply for the Scholarship of the Province in which they have acquired any considerable part of their educational qualifications, or for that of the Province in which they have their ordinary private domicile, home or residence. They must be prepared to present themselves for examination or election in the Province they select. No candidate may compete in more than one Province, either in the same or in successive years. Only candidates who have passed an equivalent to the Oxford Responsions Examination including Greek or those who are exempted from Responsions by the Colonial Universities' Statute, are eligible for election. Note. The Colonial Universities' Statute provides that any University in the British Dominions may apply to Oxford University to be admitted to the privileges of the Statute. If the application is accepted, students who have taken a full course for two years at the Colonial University, are admitted to advance standing at Oxford, and are excused from Responsions. To aid in making a choice each qualified candidate is required to furnish to the Chairman of the Committee of Selection (a) A certificate of age; (b) A full statement of his educational career at School and College; his record in athletics, and such testimonials from his masters at School and his professors at College, in reference to the qualities indicated by Mr. Rhodes, as will assist the judgment of the Committee of Selection. Each candidate should personally present himself to the Committee of Selection before a final decision is made, unless specially excused by the Committee itself, in which case a statement of the reasons should be sent to the Trustee. The Scholarship will be paid in four quarterly instalments the first on beginning residence at Oxford, and thereafter terminally on the certificate of the College that the work and conduct of a student have been satisfactory. Without such a certificate the Scholarship lapses. For the information of students who are not excused from Responsions under the regulations contained in the foregoing memorandum, the following particulars regarding this examination are. given: EXTRACTS FROM MR. RHODES' WILL. The following extracts from Mr. Rhodes' will, which indicate the purpose of the scholarships, will doubtless be of interest: |
