NEW RHODES SCHOLAR
January, 1914

The Committee to choose a Rhodes Scholar from New Hampshire, met in Concord on Dec. 16. The men competing for the position were W. W. Flint, Jr., '12, D. E. Adams '13, W. H. Loveland '14, E. B. Burgum '15, and R. C. Brewster, Williams '14. . Mr. Flint was the successful candidate, and he will receive a scholarship of $1,500 yearly for three years, to be used in residence at any college in Oxford University.

Mr. Flint is the son of W. W. Flint of St. Paul's School, Concord, and was born in 1892. He attended St. Paul's School from 1902 until 1908, where he excelled in scholarship, winning the Furgeson scholarship. Mr. Flint was valedictorian of the class of 1912 and during his college course won several scholarship prizes. He was editor of the Dartmouth Literary Magazine and was the poet of the senior class. In his sophomore year, Mr. Flint took the leading part in "Oedipus Tyrannus", the Greek play given by the classical students of the College. He received the M.A. degree as the result of a year's graduate work at Princeton, where he is still studying. He is a member of the Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity and the Phi Beta Kappa scholarship society.

The committee on selection consisted of President Nichols, chairman; H. C. Morrison, State Superintendent of Public Instruction; Dr. S. S. Drury, Headmaster of St. Paul's School, Concord; John R. McLane '07, Rhodes Scholar from 1907 to 1909, interim member of the committee in place of the late Principal Amen of Exeter Academy; and Professor Herbert D. Foster, secretary.

Dartmouth has at present two Rhodes Scholars at Oxford, Maurice C. Blake '10, whose place Mr. Flint will take, and Conrad E. Snow '12.
