...problem is essentially one of adjustment, the capable and mature scholar must not be hampered and perhaps permanently discouraged by the petty regulations of the first two years at college designed to help and control those not yet ready for a college education.

...Rhodes Scholar has yet become President of the U. S., member of the Cabinet, Governor of a State or mayor of a great U. S. city. There are only 20 Rhodesmen in Federal service; 195 are in law. But the rise of pedagogs to high government positions under the Roosevelt Administration may point toward the fruition of Cecil Rhodes's idea, for the biggest group of Rhodesmen (40%) have become educators. Eight are college presidents, 13 deans, one (John James Tigert) was U. S. Commissioner of Education from 1921 to 1928. Other distinguished Rhodesmen include Minister to Austria Gilchrist...
Host & Hostess. At Swarthmore this week many a Rhodesman would hasten to shake the hand of Sir Francis Wylie. He, a wrinkled onetime philosophy don, never forgets the name, college and home town of a Rhodes Scholar. Once he presented 250 Rhodesmen to Edward of Wales, remembered them all.

At Oxford, he rowed, played rugby. Back in the U. S., he taught English at Indiana University until 1915, at Massachusetts Institute of Technology until 1921. U. S. education...
Frank Aydelotte still talks Oxford and Rhodes but concentrates on Swarthmore. He met, and silenced. George Bernard Shaw at a British garden party by telling him about his Honors Courses. President Aydelotte got Swarthmore a Rhodes Scholar football coach and numerous professors. Other colleges have taken some of his best men-Dean Valentine, President Raymond Walters of the University of Cincinnati, President Frank Parker Day of Union College, Dean Frances Burlingame of Elmira College. President Aydelotte introduced scholarships of a Rhodes type at Swarthmore, doubled the number for next year hoping to get more and abler students. Among Swarthmore alumni...
