Show HH The directors of Oxford university are half in H despair. They say that Cecil Rhodes provided H scholarships for many foreign students, but did Hj not provide for the increased expense they would B necessarily be to the university. The moral is H that a charity should carry no added burdens to H those who have to see that the charity is made H effective. Mr. Carnegie has provided for many H library buildings. It would be better had he H made them less costly, then filled them with H books and set aside a fund, the interest on which H would have paid for attendants, janitors and re H pairs. That would make a complete bequest. H The bequest of Rhodes is thus described In H Blackwood's Mazagine: "Mr. Rhodes is 'pro- H moting' his Imperial programme, forgot to provide H working capital inasmuch as he required a pover- 1 ty-stricken university to house and teach three 1 hundred new scholars without providing a penny H to equip them with teachers, house room or ap H paratus." |
