RHODES SCHOLARS
THREE SELECTIONS DECIDED ON.
1933 VACANCIES NOW FILLED.
By Telegraph—Press Association.
Wellington, Last Night.
The New Zealand Rhodes Scholarship selection committee, which met at Wellington to-day, selected the following three scholars for the 1935 scholarships: Eric Percival Haslam, Auckland; Winston • Francis Monk, Canterbury; Lester Francis Moller, Otago. Normally two scholarships are available for New Zealand each year. Two years ago, however, no appointments were made and last year, with the permission of the Rhodes Trust, three men were selected. This course has been adopted again on receipt by the New Zealand committee of a letter from Lord Lothian, secretary of the Rhodes Trust, in which he stated: “The trust has authorised the election of three Rhodes Scholars from New Zealand for 1935 provided that all three are up to standard. That would then complete, with the third already elected for 1934, the two vacancies left over because no scholar was appointed for 1933.” This offer from the trust is considered a fine testimony to the status that New Zealand scholars in the past have w/m in its eyes.
