A SOUTH AFRICAN SCHOLARSHIP
SIR,—John Reeves, the elder son of the Bishop of Johannesburg and an ordinand of unusual promise, was tragically drowned a year ago in South Africa. Shortly after his death a fund was opened to cote- memorate him by means of a scholarship at Sidney Sussex College. Cambridge, were both he and his father were educated. It is intended that this scholar- ship should be open to South Africans of any race, in the hope that before long it will be possible for black and coloured as well as white South Africans to study in this country, and that preference should be given in the first place to Anglican ordinands,
Generous friends of John Reeves and of his familY have so far contributed a sum of approximately £2,000, three-quarters of which has been raised in South Africa. This ensures that it will be possible to found the scholarship on a permanent basis, but more is needed if an adequate endowment is to be secured.
If this should seem to any of your readers an appropriate way of helping South Africa, contribu- tions of any size will be gratefully acknowledged. They may be sent to me (marked 'Personal') cif CACTM, Church House. Dean's Yard, Westminster. London, S.W.I. Cheques should be made payable to the John Reeves Scholarship Fund.—Yours faith-
Church House, Dean's Yard, Westminster, SW 1
