Rhodes scholarships
21. I direct that of the two Scholarships appropriated to a State or
Territory not more than one shall be filled up in any year so that at
no time shall more than two Scholarships be held for the same State or
Territory.
22. The Scholarships shall be paid only out of income and in the event
at any time of income being insufficient for payment in full of all
the Scholarships for the time being payable I direct that (without
prejudice to the vested interests of holders for the time being of
Scholarships) the following order of priority shall regulate the payment
of Scholarships.
[Provided that:—
Scholarships shall be paid of (i) students from Rhodesia, (ii) of
students from the South African Stellenbosch, Rondebosch, and St. Andrews
School, (iii) of students from the other British Colonies, (iv) of
students holding the American Scholarships.
Articles 23, 24, 25, which dealt with the qualities of _candidates and
methods of selection_, were replaced by clauses in the Codicil of Oct.
11, 1901. See p. 18.]
26. A qualified student who has been elected as aforesaid shall within
six calendar months after his election or as soon thereafter as he can
be admitted into residence or within such extended time as my Trustees
shall allow commence residence as an undergraduate at some College in the
University of Oxford.
27. The Scholarship shall be payable to him from the time when he shall
commence such residence.
28. I desire that the Scholars holding the Scholarships shall be
distributed amongst the Colleges of the University of Oxford and not
resort in undue numbers to one or more Colleges only.
29. Notwithstanding anything hereinbefore contained my Trustees may in
their uncontrolled discretion suspend for such time as they shall think
fit or remove any Scholar from his Scholarship.
Article 30
[gives the Trustees authority to _make vary or repeal_ regulations
general or particular with regard to (i) the election of qualified
students and the methods by which qualifications are to be ascertained,
(ii) the tenure of Scholarships, (iii) suspension and removal of
Scholars, (iv) payment of scholarships, (v) the method for giving effect
to clause 28, (vi) any other matter which they may think necessary with
regard to the Scholarships.]
Articles 31, 32
[continue specifications as to the authority of the Trustees.]
33. No regulations made under clause 30 or made and approved of under
clauses 31 and 32 hereof shall be inconsistent with any of the provisions
herein contained.
34. In order that the Scholars past and present may have opportunities of
meeting and discussing their experiences and prospects I desire that my
Trustees shall annually give a dinner to the past and present Scholars
able and willing to attend at which I hope my Trustees or some of them
will be able to be present and to which they will I hope from time to
time invite as guests persons who have shown sympathy with the views
expressed by me in this Will.
