THE DAILY NBBRASKAN
RHODES SCHOLARSHIP
AWARDED
OCTOBER
One Nebraska Student Will lie
Selected to Study for Three
Years at Oxford.
One student in the University of
Nebraska will bo selected, in October
of this year, as a Rhodes Scholar.
He will be entitled to three years'
study at Oxford University with a
yearly stipend o 350 pounds, or
about $1,700,
Five candidates will be- selected
from the University, and one of these
will be selected by the state commit
tee. The candidates will be elected
at such a date that they will be able
to get their applications by October
27. The Rhodes Scholar will leave
for England in October of 1924.
Four Nebraska men are now at
tending Oxford; two of these, Alfred
Reese, Sioux City, and Woodson
Spurlock, York, are from the Univer
sity of Nebraska.
The candidate, to be eligible, must
be an unmarried male citizen of the
United States who has lived here at
least five years. By the first of
October of 1924 he must have passed'
his nineteenth, and not have passed
his twenty-fifth birthday. By the first
of October, 1924, he must have com
pleted his sophomore year.
Candidates may apply either from
the state in which they have their
ordinary residence, or from the state
where they have received two years
of their college education. The com
mittee of selection for Nebraska is
Chancellor Samuel Avery, chairman;
Paul F. Good, secretary, and prob
ably Prof. J. A. Rice and H. A. Gun
derson. All of these men with the
exception of Chancellor Avery, are
former Rhodes Scholars.
No restrictions are placed on what
courses of study the Rhodes Scholars
are to pursue, except of course, that
they must be qualified.
Nebraska wiii have a student in
1924 and in 192."i. A year will then
he miissed,, and then students se
lected for the two following years,
and so on, in rotation. If a candidate
is disappointed one year, and is se
lected as a candidate the next year,
this in no way disqualifies him for
selection.
.The candidates from the Univer
sity of Nebraska must have their
applications to Paul F. Good of, Lin
coin, by October 27, 1923. The select
ed men may get blanks from him, or
from Professor Rice. The selection
of the one man who is to go will be
made December 8.
A total of thirteen men have gone
to Oxford from the State of Nebras
ka. Six of those men have come
from the state University. Other
schools which have been represented
are as follows: Grand Island, Cotner,
Hastings, Wesleyan, and Creighton
Two men who lived in Nebraska, but
who went to schools outside the
state, represented Yale and Cornell
universities.
Tile qualities which will considered
by the state committee are: qual
ities of manhood, force of character,
and leadership; literary and brhoias
tic ability and attainments, and
physical vigor as shown by interest
in outdoor sports, or in other ways.
The ideal Rhodes Scholar should
excel in all three of the qualities
mention, but in the absence of suc h
an ideal combination, the Commuter
will prefer a man who shows dis
tinction either of character and per
sonality, or of intellect, over one who
Bhows a lower degree of excellence
in both.
Participation and interest in open
air and athletic pursuits form an
essential qualification for a Rhodes
Scholar, but exceptional athletic dis
tinction Is not to be treated as of
equal importance with the other re
quirements. Under recent regulations of an
"approved" degree from an "ap
proved" University who have pursued
a course of study at that University
for three years at least can obtain
"Senior Standing" at Oxford, which
carries with it exemption from all ex
aminations prior to the Final Honour
Schools leading to the B.A. degree.
Oxford University publishes no list of
approved Universities. It is under
stood, however, that American stu
dents who hold a degree in Arts or
Pure Science from a College or Uni
versity on the list of Institutions ac
cepted by the Association of American
Universities do usually get Senior
Standing.
Holders of technical degrees, or
graduates of Institutions not on the
list approved by the Association of
American Universities, or undergrad
uates who have not yet taken their
degrees, must expect to receive Jun
ior Standing, which gives one year's
Standing, and carries with it exemp
tion from Responsions, but not from
the Intermediate examination. No ap
plietiiit, however, can obtain Junior
Standing whose college course has
not included the study of two lan
guages other than English, of which
Latin or Greek must be one.
A candidate who does not satisfy
the above conditions is not the less
eligible for appointment. He will
however, be obliged to pass Respon
sions, which includes a simple exam
ination in either Latin or Greek, be
fore taking up his Scholarship, unless
specially exempted therefrom on the
ground of being qualified to read for
an Advanced Degree. No candidate
for an Oxford degree is required to
show a knowledge of the Greek
language.
An unusual number of openings is
listed in the office of the Dean of
the College of Engineering or near
graduates are need in positions cov
ering a wide range of engineering
work. The inquiries come from those
who are seeking teachers, research
men, commercial representatives, and
young engineers who are interested
in oil, cement, electric lighting, naval
equipment, geodetic surveys, forest
products, patent office work, radio,
dust explosion, standards, reclama
tion work, manufacturing, telephony,
etc. The dean's office has been un
able to furnish applications in reply
to all of these inquiries. There are
also indications that there may be a
plentiful supply of Jobs for students
who want summer work along en
gineering lines.

Have you ever figured that the true value of a suit
should never be guaged by the original cost, but by
the service it gives? With that extra pair, practically
doubling the life of the Suit the price is materially re
duced. Let us explain the "double wear" idea.

It's something akin to sheer extravagance to dis
card a comparatively unimpaired coat and vest le
bause the trousers have been undermined by the
more strenuous wear to which trousers invariably
succumb.
An extra pair of trousers with your Suit means fully
an extra season's wear a salvage that means econ
omy plus good appearance. These Suits all include
extra trousers without extra cost.
Here you'll find all the popular patterns, the better
woolens and workmanship without a blemish. Our
assortment includes stripes, diamond checks, diag
onals, plaids, herringbones and mixtures in a selec
tion of models covering sports styles, Norfolks, fitted
and conservative styles. And the price is so low
and quality of the garments so high that every man
with an eye to economy will attend this special event.
