Just in case people were wondering, the criteria for the CR scholar are more or less the same as those for the Rhodes Scholarship.
- literary and scholastic attainments;
- energy to use one’s talents to the full, as exemplified by fondness for and success in sports;
- truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the weak, kindliness, unselfishness and fellowship;
- moral force of character and instincts to lead, and to take an interest in one’s fellow beings.
Peter Boettke and Bruce Caldwell have been nominated for recognition. I am reliable informed that Joe and Judith Agassi will receive the award but the papework has not been completed. The Affirmative Action Declaration fell on the flooor and was not signed by all members of the committee.
BTW I have an idea that the original Rhodes bequest specified as the second criterion “participation and proficiency in manly outdoor games”.
