[net.politics] Divestment: An example

grl@charm.UUCP (George Lake) (05/10/85)

For those of you who find the idea of divestment to be radical,
may I point out that the Rhodes Trust (endowed by Cecil B to
send good young white boys to Oxford) divested long before
they even allowed women to apply for the fellowships.

i'm not very old ( under 25) please elaborate.
who was Cecil B ?
what ramifications did the Rhodes Trust have ?
i assume that you are talking about the "Rhodes Scholarship"?
