<p>Good show for the University of Chicago and Duke this year, with 3 each. I haven't completed the look-through so there may be other colleges with 3 or more.</p>
<p>US Naval Academy.</p>
<p>It is also great to see this years students hail from a variety of schools, an increased number of women, majors and backgrounds. :</p>
<p>Dartmouth- double major: physics and mathematics</p>
<p>Yale - major: psychology</p>
<p>Yale- major: ethics, politics and economics</p>
<p>Yale University- major: History</p>
<p>Brown- concentration in Greek and Latin, as well as literary arts.</p>
<p>United States Naval Academy-double major in political science and economics,minor in Japanese</p>
<p>Duke- Major: Math</p>
<p>Duke-major: biology and music with a minor in math</p>
<p>Florida State University- joint degree in political science and English literature</p>
<p>University of Chicago- major: history</p>
<p>Wabash College -taught ninth grade English on the south side of Chicago
in the Teach for America program</p>
<p>University of Pittsburgh-majors: chemistry and the history and philosophy of science</p>
<p>University of Richmond- major political science and classical civilization</p>
<p>Rice University- writing thesis on issues relating to the veiling of Muslim women</p>
<p>Wheaton College (Massachusetts)- major: political science</p>
<p>University of Washington - researching the neurobiological basis of behavior in marine fauna</p>
<p>Stanford- major: human biology</p>
<p>I find it noteworthy that several Rhodes Scholars were varsity athletes in college which goes to show that SOME athletes who go to very selective colleges are truly qualified AND excel academically as well.</p>
<p>The University of the South now has its 25th Rhodes Scholar! Go Sewanee!</p>
<p>One of the 4 requirements is:</p>
<p>"Energy to use one's talents to the full, as exemplified by fondness for and success in sports."</p>
<p>I thought being an accomplished athlete was required for a Rhodes scholar.</p>
<p>Oops, should have read over30's post first</p>
<p>Actually, being an athlete is NOT required. It is usual, however, because Cecil Rhodes thought that athletics were a demonstration of they physical rigor required to study at Oxford. The elgibility criteria note, however, that physical rigor may be demonstrated in ways other than sports. BTW, did Bill Clinton have a sport when he was a Rhodes scholar?</p>

Probably did, but it's not polite to mention in public what that sport was.</p>
<p>Lol............</p>
<p>The young woman from UW is only 18! She was in the early entrance program.

<p>3 from Duke-Go Blue Devils.</p>
<p>Oh my gosh, I know the girl from UW! She was with my cousin in the early entrance program. She's such an amazing but nice person.</p>
<p>Sports is important? That must be the reason Chicago did so well. It's easy to stand out in sports there. :-)</p>
<p>Harvard must be pretty embarassed at the results this year. NO Harvard undergrads won. One current Kennedy School guy got it, but he went to a military academy as an undergrad.</p>
<p>I doubt that Harvard is "embarassed" - these awards do seem to go in cycles for them and Yale.</p>
<p>I was glad to see other names on the list - such as Gettysburg, Wabash. A college does not need to be in USNWR's stratosphere to have extraordinary students doing serious scholarship.</p>
<p>The Fulbright list is now out as well:</p>
