RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS
READMISSION OF GERMANY
PRINCE OF WALES APPROVES PAST ENMITY PUT BEHIND British Official Wireless. Rugby, July 6. The Prince of Wales, who spoke last night at the Rhodes Scholarship Trust dinner at Oxford, welcomed the announcement previously made by Mr. Stanley Baldwin that the trust was going to renew the scholarships to Germany abolished during the war. “We have wit’ 1 us to-night some old German Rhodes scholars,” said the Prince. “We welcome them back to Oxford most heartily. I myself have had the pleasure this evening of shaking hands with an old Magdalen man who was a German Rhodes scholar whom I had not seen since 1914. In this building and in other colleges there will be found on the rolls of honour the names of German Rhodes scholars who fell in the war, which shows that this foundation is not based on any narrow racial feeling and that its ideals are those which all may follow, forgetful of past enmities and reviving old friendships.”
