GERMAN RHODES SCHOLARS.
MONEY MIGHT BE OTHERWISE UTILISED. Germany is one of- the nations outside the . British Empire which, under the Rhodes Scholarships scheme, is entitled to send students to Oxford and Cambridge. At present, it is hardly necessary to state, the scheme _is inoperative as far as Germany "is concerned, and at the next meeting of the Melbourne University Council the following motion (by Dr. Leeper) will be considered:— "That the council is of the opinion that until the time arrives when it may be desirable to encourage again the competition' of German students for the Rhodes scholarships, the scholarships at present set aside for the benefit of Germany might, with great advantage to the Empire, be thrown open to candidates from the Overseas Dominions."
Contingent upon this motion being adopted, Dr. Leeper will move:— "That the other Universities of Australia- be consulted on. tho question, and that in the-event of their being willing to co-operate, arrangements be made for bringing the matter under the notice of the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth."
