The historical legacy of Cecil Rhodes is also a problematic one. It is noteworthy that a man who once had a country named for him (Rhodesia) is now viewed with such historical disdain. As for those who find themselves applying for and accepting the scholarship money that Rhodes' "enterprises" made possible, well, as "serendipity" would have it, a Rhodes Scholar from Australia today had this to say.
