Where circumstances render it impracticable to carry out the letter of these suggestions, the Trustees hope that every effort will be made to give effect to their spirit, but desire it to be understood that the final decision must rest with the Committee of Selection. As a separate memorandum is prepared for each of several groups into which the scholarship system has been divided, it is impossible to reproduce here all the details of each. The following clauses are taken from the _Memorandum issued for the United States_:— To aid in making a choice each qualified Candidate should be required to furnish to the Chairman of the Committee of Selection:— (_a_) A Certificate of age (showing that he is within the eligible limits of age). (_b_) A full statement of his educational career at School and College, his record in athletics, and such testimonials from his masters at School and his professors at College, in reference to the qualities indicated by Mr. Rhodes, as will assist the judgement of the Committee of Selection. (_c_) In cases where more than one Candidate from a single School or College or University has qualified, the School, College, or University should be required to select (in accordance with the views of Mr. Rhodes) its chosen representative to go before the Committee of Selection for final choice, and a Certificate that he has been so chosen shall be sent to the Chairman of the Committee of Selection. Each _Candidate should personally present himself to the Committee_ of Selection before a final decision is made, _unless specially excused by the Committee itself_, in which case a statement of the reasons should be sent to the Trustees. If a careful comparison of these records and personal interviews with the Candidates do not furnish sufficient grounds for making a decision, the Committee of Selection is free to apply to the Candidates, or to any selected number of them, such further intellectual or other tests as they may consider necessary (for purposes of comparison). The _Chairman of the Committee of Selection_ should at once notify to the Trustees and to Mr. F. J. Wylie, The Rhodes Trust, Oxford, the name of the elected Scholar, and should forward to the latter all the records, credentials, and testimonials relating to the Scholar on which the election was made. These papers should be transmitted _immediately_, as they are used in consulting College authorities in regard to the admission of Scholars. It has been the experience of the past two years that Scholars have frequently been unable to gain admission to any of the Colleges of their preference owing to remissness in forwarding to Mr. Wylie the necessary information. The following ‘Instructions’, issued to Scholars elected for the year 1905, indicate the course of procedure by which a Scholar is entered at Oxford:—
