...group recently chosen for the Rhodes Scholarships has aroused undergraduate interest in the type of men now being awarded this coveted honor, and has marked an unfortunate trend away from the all-round type of recipient.

The judges then proceeded to inspect TVA's record as a utility business. Since 1934 TVA has made a total net income of $2,087,497 by selling power to 17 municipalities and 15 co-operatives in four States-Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi and Georgia. Many localities have been helped to buy or build their distributing systems by PWA loans-and-grants of which up to 45% may be outright gifts. This...
