"Right from the early 20th Century when the Scholarships began, Rhodes Scholars have been active in the educational world: in higher education (including research as well as teaching), secondary schools, primary schools, and educational theory and research. This is highly appropriate: as education at all levels is fundamental to the welfare of society, involvement in education aligns very well with the Rhodes Scholarships’ basic aim of public service."
Sir Rick Trainor (Rhode Island & Merton 1970), Interim Warden of Rhodes House
"I think of many Rhodes Scholars who are just exemplary as teachers - their commitment to that vocation of educating the next generation, which has probably got harder over time, particularly in the humanities and social sciences. They're usually an embattled part of the university, and it's very often the Rhodes Scholars who are in the front line, having to fight those fights."
Nicholas Jose (South Australia & Magdalen 1974)

Don Markwell (Queensland & Trinity 1981)
"Liberal arts education for undergraduates is partly a civilizing mission rather than a training in a particular skill, and certainly in the humanities, people learn how to be human... and that's a good thing to be"
Nicholas Bunnin (California & Corpus Christi 1964)
"We are doing a much better job now at bringing more people in, at creating more flexibility. We are better engaged with the outside world as a sector than we've ever been. "
Carolyn Evans (Victoria & Exeter 1995)
