A Gift to Civilization JN 1904 the first, Rhodes scholars appeared in the weathered halls of Oxford University. They were there because of the dream of a great man, Cecil Rhodes, a man whose eyes were ever fastened throughout his short life on the words of a phi losopher of ancient Greece, who wrote, “The greatest, happiness lies in the conscious pursuit of a noble purpose.” Rhodes had a noble purpose. He wished to assist toward obtaining a per petual peace among mankind. This he hoped to accomplish through the union of all Anglo-Saxon peoples in common sym pathy and understanding. The British empire-builder and many-times millionaire saw possibilities for helping accomplish his desire by providing an opportunity to certain qualified young men from the colonies ahd from the United States to meet and exchange ideas with their English cousins, and with each other, in the cultural at ffltJtfphere of Britain’s great university. In his will Rhodes left an enormous fortune to carry out this plan. Every year there are 98 scholars from universities and colleges of the United States, and 66 sueh scholars from the colonies, who are enabled to study at Oxford untroubled by the distraction of financial worry. Inspired by Rhodes’ Unique gift for the furtherance of peace, ^imon Guggenheim, American mining magnate, has announced the proposed establishment of a $8,000,000 scholarship founda tion to allow American students opportunity for study in for eign countries. This endowment will be a memorial to the son of the financier, John Simon Guggenheim, who died in April, # 14.WITH In contrast to the Rhodes scholarships with their rather exact requirements for qualification, (he Guggenheim fellow ships as planned are much broader in seope and have few re strictions. They will be open to men or women, married or single, of every race, color or creed. There will he no age limits. Aliy subject may be studied in any country. The announced purposes of the foundation arc. “to improve the quality of education and practice of the arts and profes sions in the United States; to foster research and to provide for the cause of hot tor international understanding.” Scholars, to obtain appoint incut, must show exceptional apti tude for research, or have undertaken an important piece of work, or have demonstrated ability in one of the fine arts, in cluding mttsic. The principal obligation for those receiving fellowships will be that they shall produce contributions to knowledge iu their special subjects and that they shall make the studies publicly available. The fundamental principle underlying the recent endowment is slightly different from that of Cecil Rhodes. These new fel lowships are intended for students somewhat older than those fitted to take advantage of the bequest allowing study at Ox ford. Mr. Guggenheim places the greatest stress on the foster ing of original research and on the production of definite con tributions to the world’s knowledge, rather than upon the ce menting of international friendships through sympathetic understanding. ^ ** The selection of Frank Aydelotte, president of Swarthmore College, as chairman of the advisory committee to the founda tion should mean much toward its success, as he is particularly well versed in administering foreign scholarships from his ex perience as American secretary to the Rhodes trustees. Dedication of a fortune to the establishment of fellowships for the noble purposes outlined in the Rhodes and Guggenheim scholarships approaches the limitations of good a man may hope to bequeath to the world and the civilization which, has pro duced him. It comes from a realization that, wealth is a trust to be used for the public weal. The influence of such gifts, which help “lift the world’s heart higher,” will be as illimit able, as beneficial, as it is lasting.

Dear Editor: “How about a new flag?” After one national holiday with Old Glory fluttering its tattered length in the rainy breeze, looking like we bad about as much patriot ism as the man without a country, I should think the tribe would get together and replace the antique with something that looks more like a flag and less like a holler for help. Let’s dedicate the funds from the next A. S. U. O. dance to the cause and save the patriotic name of the University for the gen erations to come. “SKEEZ1X” FRESHMAN COMMISSION TO MEET TUESDAY AT 5:00 The freshman, commission will hold a meeting at the bungalow Tuesday afternoon at 5:00.
