The Ocksheperida Vol. 5 Sheridan, Wyoming, January, 1913 No. 4 .j. • -;- - • + m The Rhodes Scholarship + + + ♦ + One of the things it will pay all High school students to keep their eyes on is the Rhodes scholarship. Mr. Rhodes was a wealthy English diamond merchant, who died soon after 1000. He was of a philanthropic turn of mind, so left vast sums of money, the interest on which goes to pay fifteen hundred dollars a year to a great many hoys of Germany and the I nit.il States while they arc being educated in Oxford. Each state is entitled to its representative. Wyoming now has one or two hoys' doing work in Oxford.

In them is to be a large capacity for play, for work, for fellowship: and in them is also to he that divine something we know uot how to name, without which no life can he wisely energetic, or inspired, or great. Call this last what you will. In selection of the scholar, therefore, three of ten credits arc based on “literary and scholastic attainments:” two on “fondness of and success in many outdoor sports, such as cricket, football, and the like;” three on qualities of manhood, truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for the protection of the weak, kindliness, unselfishness, and fellowship;” and two more, making up the ten, on “exhibition during school days of mofal force of character and of instincts to load and to take an interest in his school mates, for those latter attributes will he likely in after life to guide him to esteem the per-
