CHAPTER VIII
OPPORTUNITIES
THE VALUE OF A RHODES SCHOLARSHIP—QUALIFICATIONS—CHOICE OF A
COLLEGE—CHOICE OF WORK—ADVANTAGES
There are two questions which are of vital importance to every person
who is considering a Rhodes Scholarship, whether Candidate, member of
a Committee of Selection, or a chosen Scholar. What advantages does a
Rhodes Scholarship offer? What opportunities does Oxford offer to a man
who has won the Scholarship?
The ultimate answer to both depends upon the type of man who is chosen;
while two very important factors are the spirit in which the Scholar
accepts his appointment and the course which he chooses to follow at
Oxford.
There can be found no better statement of the qualities which are desired
in the typical Scholar than that which Rhodes himself suggested (see p.
18). In this outline, Rhodes, consciously or unconsciously, epitomized
the qualifications of the best product (in theory at least) of the Oxford
life and system. Naturally, the better the adaptive possibilities of the
material, the better the chance of turning out a finished product of the
desired quality.
