Entered M second clans matter at the post office at Eugene, Oregon, under act
9i OflUgww of March 8, 1879.
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.
