After successfully passing the responsions, or preliminary examinations, for a Rhodes scholarship at Oxford, Charles J. Costello re- ports at Albany for the Hnal selection. As later- announced, the Canisius man, in com- petition with graduates of several of the large colleges, had one of the very bestre- ports and his choice was prevented princi- ' pally on account of his intention to study medicine. As this study is not included in the Oxford curriculum, the judges were led to give the appointment to one who would be more directly benented by the Oxford -course.
