FOOTNOTES
[1] How thoroughly Rhodes and Mr. Stead’s ideas harmonized at that time
can best be seen from a comparison of Mr. Stead’s manifesto to ‘all
English-speaking Folk’, which was published in the first number of the
_Review of Reviews_ (Eng.), which appeared not long after, Jan. 15,
1891, with a letter, one of his few long letters, which Rhodes wrote to
Mr. Stead in August of that year (dated Aug. 19-Sept. 3). See _Review
of Reviews_ (Eng.), Jan. 15, 1891, and W. T. Stead’s _Last Will and
Testament of C. J. R._, pp. 99-102, 64-76.
[2] See W. T. Stead’s _Last Will and Testament of C. J. R._, p. 114.
[3] See Chap. ii.
[4] See Chap. ii, p. 18 f.
[5] As a result chiefly of political differences between Mr. Stead on the
one side, and Rhodes and the other Trustees on the other; not as a result
of ill-feeling.
[6] See W. T. Stead’s _Last Will and Testament of C. J. R._, p. 190.
[7] Ibid., p. 184.
[8] The Will was published in London _Times_, April 7, 1902. Much of the
text is printed in _The Last Will and Testament of Cecil J. Rhodes_, ed.
by W. T. Stead, published by _Review of Reviews_ Office, London, 1902.
The University of Missouri also reprinted the portion of the Will dealing
with the Scholarships, in a Bulletin; but see p. 26, note 3.
[9] The addresses are given in the Will.
[10] Loss from tearing down buildings.
