Near casualties occurred when two of the party attempted cross some rocks in the surf and again when Mrs. Clare ran backwards into a tide pool in au attempt to escape a wave. The class returned to the laboratory at about 6 p.m. to put away the collected specimens. Important changes with regard to the question ot Rhodes Scholarships, each of which entitles the holder to three years at Oxford university with an annual stipend from the Rhodes foundation of four hundred pounds or nearly two thousand dollars a year, were announced by Dr. Allison Gaw, chairman of the Rhodes Scholarship faculty com-*------—---- mittee at the University of Southern California. The 48 states of the union are divided into eight districts of six states each. The University of Southern California is located in the group of states including California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and New7 Mexico.

Each state committee will be allowed to nominate two men from that state to appear before the district committee, and each district committee will select from the 12 candidates so appearing before them the best four to represent their state at Oxford university. A state may thus receive two scholarships or none in accordance with the merits of its candidates. Students at the university will thus have an opportunity to compete for Rhodes Scholarships every year instead of two years out. of each three as has previously been the case.
