It is noted that "The American Oxonian" is a publication of the Association of American Rhodes Scholars and contains the names and addresses of not only Rhodes Scholars, but also other Americans who studied at Oxford. The NYO has experienced considerable difficulty in compiling this list since it determined many individuals wio attended Oxford during the pertinent period were not listed in the 1°)0 directorics but rather are listed in more recent directories. It was also discovered that the reverse was true, that is, individuals listed in the earlier directories are not listed in later ones. This made it- necessary for the NYO to review directories’ for several years in order to compile a reasonably complete list. It was also discovered that in the early directories the individuals were listed alphabetically by state whereas in subsequent directories there was no breakdown by state and the names were simply listed alphabetically. It was also discovered that in some cases the year the individual attended Oxford was not shown in some directories but was set forth in others. Thus, whet at first appeared to be a rather simple compilation of a names, turned into a rather complicated prefect. It is noted, however, tuat all the major obstacles have now been surmounted and the list is rapidly being, completed. The list will show, with few exceptions, not only the individual's full and compicte name, but also the colicys and your ali v7. ile occupation and residence in the 1940's, as well as his current residence and employment. Upon completion of same, the wh t will be promptly submitted to the Bureau. 1 ee facie \ ‘) JQ nd ro \ ™ ~ | Lud ‘ buy Ud. sduitigs ponds Keguiarly vn ot Coste MAUIngs 9 6a
