RHODES SCHOLARS
SECRETARY INTERVIEWED.
[PEB PBBSB ASSOCIATION.]
AUCKLAND, April 12. Sir Francis Wylie, for 28 years Oxford Secretary of the Rhodes Trust, arrived to-day from Australia. He said that Oxford was entirely satisfied with New Zealand s. repiesentatives, academically and in other ways. He believed that oyer the years the Rhodes scheme had justified itself. There has been criticism that Rhodes scholars were not in a position of great political importance, but that was rather superficial. The great majority were still young men, with their own careers to make, and it was undesirable that they should be taking up politics as a livelihood. During his visits to Australia and South Africa, he had formed the opinion that Rhodes scholars were gradually coming into prominent positions.
