RHODES SCHOLARSHIP
LACK OF CANDIDATES.
(Preaa Aaecoiation.)
WELLINGTON, September 27.
There is a dearth of candidates for the Rhodes Scholarships this year. Wellington is not nominating, and though Canterbury had five candidates, most are too old, since the age has been altered to 21, and it may end in having none. Two nominees are sent forward by Otago, F. N. Hanan, younger son of Hon. J. Hanan, M.L.C., and W. E. Henley. Auckland’s candidates are not yet announced. Tho Rhodes scholarships, it is said, ■are not so keenly sought after, as before the age limit was altered, and the three years’ residence at Oxford is also a hindrance. Travelling scholarships are preferred.
