1991 RHODES SCHOLARS NAMED

Thirty-two young American students who include a poet, an AIDS researcher, a Baptist minister, and a teacher were named Sunday to study at Oxford University in England as Rhodes scholars for 1991. The American students from 23 colleges and universities in 26 states join an international group of scholars from 17 other countries as recipients of the oldest international study award, established in 1902 in the will of British philanthropist and colonial pioneer Cecil Rhodes.

Only five women are on the 1991 list, - the lowest number since 1976, when women became eligible to apply.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
