Oxford and the Rhodes Scholarships
Scholz, R. F. (Richard Frederick)
Rhodes scholarships
The papers written by candidates will be collected at the end of each
examination, sealed, and sent to Oxford, where they will be examined. The
names of those candidates who have satisfied the examiners will then be
listed and sent to their respective Committees, and from these and the
names of candidates who have otherwise qualified the Committee will make
a selection. A certificate of having passed Responsions or of exemption
from Responsions holds good permanently, so that a person once having
obtained such certificates need not take the examination again in order
to qualify as a candidate, and no holder of such certificate will be
required to take Responsions upon entering the University of Oxford.
[Sidenote: Selection.]
Any questions of doubtful eligibility are to be settled by the local
Committee of Selection.
The appointment shall be made each year; not later than the first of
March in Australia and New Zealand; not later than the end of March in
the other States, Territories, Provinces, and Colonies. The Scholar
elected will begin residence in Oxford in October of the year in which he
is elected.
