BOUND FOR OXFORD
LOCAL RHODES SCHOLAR MR ALLAN STEWART DEPARTS TODAY Though the war has delayed his departure for some five and a half years, Mr Allan Stewart, Whakatane’s second Rhodes Scholar, leaves today for Wellington where he will take ship for England to pursue the studies which he has been carrying on at Massey College. Mr Allen Stewart was actually selected as a Rhodes Scholar in 1940 but the war years intervening it has only recently been possible to post him to Oxford University where he will take up residence in October next. Pie expects to be in the Old Country for at least two years. Whakatane and district join warmly in wishing him well and in extending to him the heartiest congratulations on attaining -to the high scholastic honours endowed by the Empire Builder, Cecil Rhodes. In passing it is interesting to recall that prior to the first World War Mr Kenneth Sisam was®also selected as a Rhodes Scholar, thus being the first Whakatane candidate to that distinctive honour.
