Some interesting announcements were made at the annual reunion held

by the Rhodes Trustees for the Rhodes Scholars at Oxford. The Chairman, Sir Otto Belt, gave some further details as to the scope of the new Rhodes House, Which, apart from providing benefits for the Rhodes Scholars and a residence for the Oxford secretary to the Trust, will serve certain specific University purposes. The establishment of a new lectureship at Oxford was also announced, the idea being to invite some man or woman of - eminence from outside Great Britain. The lecturer would undertake to give two or more lectures and to reside at Oxford for at least one whole term. As the Times remarks :—" The . project is full of novel and important possibilities and. deserves to be widely known." . . .
