At a meeting of the Rhodes Scholarship Commission for New Hampshire held in Concord on December 20, Eugene Parker Chase '16 of New Britain, Connecticut, received the appointment of Rhodes Scholar from New Hampshire for three years. He will enter Oxford next October.
Mr. Chase, who is the son of Charles F. Chase '85, prepared for college in the New Britain High School. In college he has distinguished himself by his high scholarship and his activities in connection with the literary and artistic interests of the undergraduate body. For three years he has been a Rufus Choate Scholar, and was made a member of Phi Beta Kappa at the beginning of his senior year. In his junior year he won the first Lockwood prize for English Composition and the second Atherton prize for Greek. He is a member of the Arts and of Round Robin, and is this year editor-in-chief of the Bema.
Dartmouth has justly been proud in the past of the caliber of the men she has sent to Oxford under the Rhodes foundation, and she may rest confident that Mr. Chase will "carry on the torch."
