Rhodes Scholar

Owen C. B. Hughes, a senior from Ottawa, Ontario, has been named one of 11 Canadian Rhodes Scholars. He is the tenth recipient from the College in the past eight years and the 47th since the first Rhodes Scholarships were awarded in 1904.

An English major, Mr. Hughes has been cited for outstanding academic work by professors in seven different courses in the English and Government Departments. He has been during his undergraduate years a member of both the ski patrol and the crew. The fall term of this year he spent as an exchange student at Smith.

As a Rhodes Scholar, Mr. Hughes will study at Oxford University for two years, with a third year optional if he wishes to stay and the trustees of the fund established under the will of South African Cecil Rhodes consider his work merits it. The scholarships, probably the world's most prestigious, currently carry stipends of £1600, or about $3800, per year.

Each year 32 Americans, 11 Canadians, and 14 from other British Commonwealth countries are named Rhodes Scholars.
