Excerpt from The Rhodes Scholarships
Since the death of Cecil Rhodes in 1902 his Trustees have put into operation the Scholarship System provided for under his last Will. As the provisions of the Will applied to a large number of widely separated communities, varying greatly in their educational development, as in other respects, and as the suggestions made by Mr. Rhodes about the choice of his Scholars involved methods of selection hitherto untried, much preparatory study of conditions, involving an immense amount of travel, and much consultation with authorities in each community concerned, became necessary before a system for the administration of the Trust could be decided upon. This work of enquiry was entrusted to me, and the System now in use is largely based upon reports which I made to the Trustees from time to time after consultation with educational and other responsible authorities in all the countries concerned. In these reports I tried to embody the advice I had received, and to outline the difficulties to be dealt with, adding my own conclusions as to the best way in which these difficulties can be overcome.
