"My experience as a Rhodes scholar was the dominant influence in the creation of the Fulbright awards. . . . That experience, together with the devastation of the second World War and the existence of large uncollectible foreign credits, resulted in the bill creating the scholarships. . . . The recipients of these awards may be considered as grandchildren of Cecil Rhodes, scattered throughout the world."

Senator Fulbright, May 6, 1955,
in a letter to Dr. Frank Aydelotte, long-time secretary
of the Association of American Rhodes Scholars.
