MISSOURVS FIRST RHODES' SCHOLAR. RALPH EUGENE BLODGETT, SHELBINA, MISSOURI Formerly Member Academic Class '05 University of Missouri Extracis From Gene'5 Lefiers. over. Entered up in Wadham College. I live in a place called Purgatory. Heaven is on one side of me and Hell on the other. Will get out of Purga- tory at the end of my freshman year, perhaps before. Say, but the way they separate you and your coin here is a sin. Outside of paying room rent my board will cost between seven and ten dol- lars a week. Had to ditch my broad slouch hatg it marked me so that everybody saw me coming, so I am wearing a cap now. One of our men got the scholarship because he dticligjt smoke. I told him that was the reason I got 1, oo. 'Everybody drinks tea over here. Their coffee is no good. I wish you could have seen me serving a tea a few days ago. I felt like on old maid. They drink their-er-various vintages out of a bucket over here, tho. Every night a Freshman has to send around a loving cup, which is virtually a bucket, for the upperclassmen to drink his health. This is done at dinner and stops whenever each freshman has set up one. If a fellow spills anything on the table cloth he has to send one around and if a scholar makes a mistake saying grace, it is on him. They say the grace in Latin and it's forty miles long. The girls here are something fierce. If ugliness were a crime they would nearly all be in the pen. 'tHave joined a Debating Library. The debates consist principally of bum jokes on the other de- bater's reputation or personal appearance. Have been in Paris during my vacation. Visited the Louvre, the Luxembourg, Notre Dame, and other famous places. Am studying French so as to be able to talk it. During some of our vacations a party of us are going to make a bicycle trip down to Rome from Paris. HI like Oxford fine. I am learning to row on the river as Mr. Defoe said I probably would. Say, old man, you ought to have been at the din- ner given the Rhodes scholars by the board of trus- tees. You know Cecil Rhodes provided for one the last night of each term. Lord Rosebery was to'have presided but oflicial business kept him away. The fellows all had a rip-roaring time. We toasted Anglo- American alliances and every alliance possible. We also practically decided a question that often arises on such occasions. The question runs thusly: Are we freemen or are we-slaves?,' This is put in a Rienzi-to-the-Romans tone of voice, and we all answer in unison, We are! I sat between an Australian and a man from Jamaica and we formed a few alli- ances on the side. A movement irresistible is on among the Ameri- cans for baseball this spring and for real football next fall. The football they play here is a rather tame article. One of the R. S. boys from Tennessee started stiff arming and tackling the other day in a game and he was reprimanded by the coach. I got my standing as a Junior Foreign student because of my work at Missouri. I will be in Car- rollton next summer for awhile. Tell all the fellows, Hello. 66 jr ARRIVED here O. K. Had a fine trip .B 0
