VOLUME XXI
Committee Meets to Nominate Five Rhodes Applicants
Limit for Further Entrant Set Oct. 7; Examination to Include Oral Questioning
The limit for applications to Rhodes Scholarships is Sunday, Oct. 7. So far about ten applicants have registered and according to A. T. Walker, of the department of Latin, there is some fine material.
Five to Be Chosen
Professor Walker said there was no reason why the scholar should not be chosen from the applicants from the University of Kansas.
The committee on nominating University candidates for the Rhodes scholarship will meet probably at the end of next week to consider the candidates and appear before the committee for fifteen or twenty minutes in order to give the members of the committee an opportunity to choose five men as final nominees, number.
The five men thus chosen will then send in to the state committee of selection, their applications, letters, and photographs. This committee will then consider and December 8 will choose the scholar from Kanaas.
The examination given by the state committee will be very informal and rather a form of a questioning by the members of that committee.
Trustees May Eliminate
The Rhodes trustees then have the power to reject the man chosen by the state board. He is an entirely imminent threat to the power so reason to believe that such action will be taken in the future. The clause is only included to protect the reputation of Rhodes scholars.
There are more than twenty colleges in Oxford and the head of any college may reject an applicant, although there has never been a case when a Rhodes scholar was not able to enter any college.

Washington, Oct. 5. (U. P.)—President Coolidge is giving serious attention to the question of a successor for Colonel George Harvey American ambassador to the Court of St. James, and for Richard Washburn Childs, ambassador to Rome who have resigned.
Ambassadors Not Picked
The President may have decided in his own mind to whom he will offer these important posts, but if he has, he has been no indication of his choice.
Mr. Coolidge may fill the ambassadorship soon after Harvey and Childs arrive in the United States, but on the other hand, state departures are no necessity of immediate action. Therefore the London and Rome embassies may be left in the hands of changes d'affaires for some months.

Diplomas May Be Smaller
Seniors to State Preferences on This Matter
Diplomas from the University may be changed from the present large size, sixteen by twenty sizes, to a smaller one of six to eight inches. These smaller diplomas will contain practically the same printing as the present large size, and will be made of genuine sheep skin.
Seniors have received letters from the register's office requesting them to vote on this matter, as they are the most interested people. If they so desire, the diplomas are also to be received by their mentoring. These cases are lined with satin cases to harmonize with the color of the cover.
The University of Nebraska, and many other of the larger universities have adopted this change as most graduates place their present
tom of their trunks. Only professional men, whose diplomas need to be displayed, have them framed to hang on the wall. The committee which has been considering this command it for its greater convenience.
