Who played for the University of Queensland Football Club

Rhodes Scholarships were created under the Will of Cecil John Rhodes, the British colonial pioneer and statesman, who died in 1902. He left the greater part of his fortune to establish the scholarships, selection for which was to be based on qualities of character as well as on intellect. 

Rhodes hoped to provide future leaders of the English-speaking world with an education that would broaden their views and develop their abilities, and he chose Oxford for this purpose because he believed that its residential colleges provided an environment especially conducive to personal development. Oxford was also the University he had himself attended, for short periods over a number of years while building his business and political career in Southern Africa. Rhodes hoped that those who gained these benefits from Oxford and his scholarships would go on to improve the lot of humanity, and work towards maintaining peace between nations.
