RHODES SCHOLARS. FEELING PINCH AT OXFORD. LONDON, June 7. “We have to economise drastically in order to live within our .scholarship allowance,” said an Australian Rhodes Scholar, commenting on the conviction of a, South Alrican colleague who was charged with defrauding tradesmen at Oxford. Many of the scholars undertake work to supplement their income. Most of them coach, some become Thomas Cook guides during vacations, in that way seeing Europe, as well as earning money. One is reputed to have made £IOO a year in solving crossword puzzles. Many contribute to the newspapers. A former Rhodes Scholar systematically played poker, and his winnings were considerable. Tile college ees average £2OO a year; thus £2OO a year is left for club subscriptions, books, clothes and general expenses. A Rhodes scholarship is based on the average English student’s allowance, but Rhodes Scholars point out that English students can return home without expense for 16 weeks during vacations. Rhodes Scholars want to make; the most of their three years’ stay, and travel in Europe, which is impossible if they desire to enter fully into tlie life of Oxford.
