Requisites Told To Rhodes Contestants
‘■Some definite quality of distinction, whether in intellect, character, or personality is the most impc-t-ant requirement for a Rhodes scholarship,” states Dr. Frank Baxter, professor of English,, in explaining the procedure in the Rhodes contest which is now under way.

As a definition of the type of scholar he desired, Cecil Rhodes mentioned four groups of qualities, the first two of which he considered the most important. They are: <a> literary and scholastic ability and attainments. <b) qualities of manhood, truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy, kindliness, unselfishness, and fellowship. <c> exhibition of moral force of character and of instincts to lead and to take an interest ln his schoolmates. <d> physical vigour, as shown by interest in outdoor sports.

Spanish, Chinese Wars Believed Sole Obstactles To World Peace Conference
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4—(U.P.) Spain’s civil war and the Chincse-Japanese conflict were viewed by administration of-fiicals tonight as the only obstacles to a possible world peace conference in which the United States could lend active support to disarmament and the obliteration of restrictive trade * burton.
Until such times as armed hostilities ln Europe and the Far East come to an end. this government was said to feel that no practical results could be obtained from a world economic and disarmament conference. Meantime the United States will continue its "active search for peace" although slowly and cautiously.
