This book is about the seven wills which Cecil Rhodes made between the ages of twenty-four and forty-six which constitute a kind of spiritual autobiography. Rhodes was born in an English parsonage in 1853. He was a boy of delicate health and in 1870 his parents sent him to South Africa to join his brother, Herbert, who was trying to make a living by growing cotton in Natal. In 1871 Cecil and Herbert migrated to the diamond fields of Kimberley where Cecil Rhodes laid the foundation of his fortune. The purpose of this book is to outline the methods by which the Rhodes Trustees have during the last forty years patiently met the problems presented by so new an experiment in international education, to explain the steps by which the American Scholarships have been made more and more successful, and to say what can be said about the record of the men at Oxford and in the United States after their return.

Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IX CECIL JOHN EHODES: HIS IDEALS AND CHARACTER In sketching the career of Mr. Rhodes I have endeavoured to bring out his striking characteristics as the narrative proceeded, and to let the events themselves, the best of all interpreters, reveal the undercurrents of thought and purpose which shaped his life. I cannot conclude, however, without summarising what has been almost casually presented in following a history so full of great events and issues. It has been said that Cecil Rhodes somewhat resembled Napoleon, in the vastness of his conceptions as well as in some of his weaknesses. There seems some truth in the comparison, and it is quite possible, as we shall see, that the great French soldier had had some influence on the fortunes of Cecil Rhodes. His features indeed bore some resemblance to Napoleon's, but the face and figure were, if I may say so, of looser formation and not so closely knit. Perhaps the same remark may also apply to his genius and his habits of thought. But the comprehensive vision, the wide outlook, the genius for seeing below the surface of things, the vast organising power which not only took in all the elements of a great combination, but bent men and things to its achievement--these were characteristic of both. But there were great differences. Cecil Rhodes was no soldier, nor did he covet a soldier's methods. His connection with the Raid was an accident. He loved to take men, or "human beings," as he called them, with him, and by mesmeric persuasion to make them fellow-workers, sometimes, possibly, convenient tools. His appeal was not to the vested interests, but to the people. They were indeed his last line of defence when he was sore oppressed by the desertion of political and mercantile...

Like the Pharaohs he admired, Cecil John Rhodes (1853-1902) hoped to be remembered for 4,000 years. Barely 120 years later, many people want him expunged from history altogether. A major figure in the British Empire, he has been the subject of a bitter international controversy. This book sheds new light on a complicated story, relates the history of the Rhodes Scholarships, and suggests common-sense rules for commemorating contested figures as diverse as Robert E. Lee and Mahatma Gandhi..
