...appeal and convenience. If the appeal outweighs the inconvenience the gift is certain. And with a very slight use of the imagination, the European student is at the door.

"The object of Rhodes scholarships is to extend British rule and ultimately to recover the United States. This scheme makes traitors of some of America's finest young men!" No action was taken by the Board. But some patriot somewhere, who does not know how incurably American the Rhodes scholars are considered at Oxford...
