Rhodes Scholarships
Suspended Due to War
Owing to the European war,
the operation of the Rhodes Schol
arships will be suspended until
further notice. Dr. T. F. Mayo,
librarian, has announced.
The 1939 Scholars-elect will re
main in this country; the 1937 and
1938 Rhodes Scholars now in resi
dence in Oxford will return to the
United States as s*iqn as accom
modations can be obtained; and the
election of 1940 Rhodes Scholars
due to be held in December of this
year will be cancelled. Scholar
ships now in force are only sus
pended, and will be resumed when
circumstances make this possible.
Copies of this notice are being
sent to secretaries and chairmen
of the committees of selection, in
stitutional representatives or, the
Rhodes Scholarships in the various
colleges and universities, ex-
Rhodes Scholars, and families of
Rhodes Scholars now at Oxford.
Relatives and friends of the men
now abroad are being warned that
there will undoubtedly be some
delay in returning scholars to the
United States.
lege at the meeting of the Board
on the A. & M. campus August 19.
Approval of the budget for the
school year beginning with this
month was completed; and the
board also ruled that no student
at A. & M. this fall will be allow
ed to live off the campus until
both the campus project houses
and all dormitory rooms are filled.
The Board approved the $1,022,-
400 budget appropriations made by
the Legislature and signed by Gov
ernor O’Daniel, and added to it a
local fund of $1,683,000 derived
from fees and sales at the college,
raising the total to $2,705,400 for
the school year.
The Board bad earlier decided
that all students except those liv
ing at home, married students liv
ing with their wives, and graduate
students, must live in the campus
dormitories and project houses, un
less authorized for adequate rea
son to live elsewhere. “Adequate
reasons” consisted of financial dis
ability to live in either the halls
or houses. But at the meeting the
latter part of .August, the Board
amended its ruling to read that all
students (except the three special
classes named above) must live in
the halls or campus project houses;
and no one might be a day-student
living off the campus unless and
until all the dormitories both old
and new were filled. It is believed
that under the new ruling between
700 and 1,100 boys have found
themselves financially unable to
begin or continue their college edu
cation at A. & M.
The Board also decided that by
September, 1941, all persons liv
ing on the campus must move off
of it.
Naming the new dormitories was
Action upon many matters of im--f-dormitory loan were met. Student
enrollment was discussed; and sev
eral leaves of absences were grant
ed faculty members.
No action was taken in regard
to the “Blue Book” of rules and
regulations for the college, which
was due for revision since the last
revised edition of the regulations
was made in 1926. Likewise, no
definite action was taken in regard
to answering the proposal of the
Civil Aeronautics Authority to es
tablish an aviation unit on the A.
& M. campus, other than to leave
negotiations in the hands of Dean
Gibb Gilchrist, head of the School
of Engineering. Authorities have
declared that there is considerable
hope that such a unit will be estab
lished here soon.
The Board considered and accept
ed a report from the Athletic Coun
cil on housing athletes, to the ef
fect that new students who are
athletes must live with their re
spective organizations, while soph
omore, junior, and senior athletes
may exercise their own choice of
living in the new hall for athletes
(dormitory 12) or in their organi
zations’ halls.
The Board took no action on the
request that they provide for the
erection of an electric scoreboard
and timer on Kyle P’ield. However,
a new scoreboard costing approx
imately $800, with an electric clock
rented from Western Union, is be
ing erected by the Athletic De
partment, at the same location as
the old scorebord. The clock is be
ing built into the board by G. F.
Ashford of the Athletic Depart
ment, in accordance with the South
west Conference regulation adopted
last December that all teams pro
vide electric timers for games on
their own fields. It is believed that
the board will be ready by the time
of the game with Centenary Uni
versity here September 30. The
tion wa£ taken at the time other
than to leave the matter to a com
mittee.
Action was taken to request the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion, which lent A. & M. the $2,000,-
000 for the new student dormitor
ies and the new mess hall, for a
further loan to build a dormitory
to house all full-time employees of
the two mess halls.
