Rhodes Scholarship Examinations

The qualifying examinations for the Rhodes Scholarship will be held in Room 207, Administration Building, Harvard Medical School, on October 25 and 26, 1910. The stipend of the scholarship is $1,500 per year for three consecutive years. The final award will probably be made in December, 1910, on the basis of these examinations, and the successful candidate will matriculate at the University of Oxford in October, 1911.

The innovation of omitting Greek from the list of required subjects on the qualifying examination, which was tried for the first time last year, will again prevail for candidates from the United States who have passed in Latin and Mathematics. This does not mean, however, that Greek is not required for a degree at Oxford. Any student who does not offer Greek upon the qualifying examinations, must offer it in the Responsions which are held in Oxford late in September of each year. Since the final election of the Rhodes Scholar is announced about January 1, any candidate who has not passed in Greek on the qualifying examination in October will have nine months in which to prepare it for the Responsions.

The committee of selection for Massachusetts includes President Lowell, of Harvard University; David Snedden, Commissioner of Education for Massachusetts; Alfred E. Stearns, Headmaster of Phillips Andover Academy; Frederick C. Ferry '95, Dean of Williams College; and George P. Hitchcock, Principal of the Brookline High School.

Further information concerning the Rhodes Scholarship may be obtained of the Chairman of the Committee on Selection, 5 University Hall.
