JOHN P. CARLETON AWARDED RHODES SCHOLARSHIP

At a meeting of the New Hampshire Committee on the Award of the Rhodes Scholarship held Dec. 3, appointment was made of John Porter Carleton of the class of 1922.

The committee found considerable gratification in the very difficult task of making a choice this year because of the high attainments of all of the candidates who presented themselves.

The specifications under the Rhodes Scholarship Trust are that men shall be picked because of their combined literary and scholastic ability, their qualities of manhood, force of character and leadership and their interest and activity in outdoor sports.

Carleton has taken high scholastic rank ever since his entrance to College, being a Rufus Choate scholar for each of the last two years. He has been on the varsity football squad for three years, has been a member of the tennis team each year, and was in 1919 New England doubles champion in association with Russell R. Larmon. He is captain of the ski team, of which he has been a member for three years, was intercollegiate ski-jump champion in 1919 and 1921, is vice-president of the Outing Club and a member of Cabin and Trail.

He is likewise the vice-president of Palaeopitus, to which he was elected by vote of the class. Carleton is a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and the Casque and Gauntlet senior society.
