He well realized the difficulty and the complexity of the problem of organizing and putting in practice the Scholarship system for which he was providing; and with clear foresight he made the will elastic, leaving to his Trustees and their agents the development of details. He had always in life expressed a rare confidence in the Anglo-Saxon race. His Will bears witness to the confidence which he placed in the training capacity of the oldest seat of Anglo-Saxon learning, in the skill and public spirit of his Trustees, and in the assimilative capacities of a cosmopolitan group of students of Anglo-Saxon stock whom he meant to draw together. The first step for the Trustees was to secure agents who should have personal supervision of the task of organizing and engineering the machinery by which Rhodes Scholars should be selected, introduced to Oxford, and instructed, advised, and guided in the various intricacies of what, to most of them, would prove an altogether new system. Dr. George R. Parkin, LL.D., G.M.G., was called from his position as President of Upper Canada College, Toronto, and accepted and undertook the task of ‘world agent’, so to speak, of the Rhodes Trust. His wide experience in educational work, his knowledge of Oxford as an Oxford student, and his intimate knowledge of the parts of the British Empire and of the English speaking world eminently fitted Dr. Parkin for the position which he assumed. Mr. Francis J. Wylie, M. A., a Fellow of Brasenose College, Oxford, was chosen to fill an executive and diplomatic position as the Oxford representative of the Trustees, a position which makes him at once the negotiator between the Trust and the University, and, until the Scholars’ applications for College entrance are adjusted and accepted, between the Scholars and the University and Colleges.
