Samuel A. Banks, of Dickinson College, was one of two Pennsylvanians awarded Rhodes Scholarships Sunday to attend Oxford University, England, for two years. A total of 32 United States students received the scholarships which were established in 1902. Rhodes Scholars, who receive about $5,500 a year, are free to select any field of study offered by Oxford. Banks said he applied for the scholarship partially because he wanted very much to study European history but never expected to be selected.

"You never expect it to hap pen," said Banks, "The caliber of the other people vying for the scholarships defies description. Just to have associated with them was an honor. I did not think I had a chance." Banks, who has completed a major in political science, plans to study modern history while at Oxford.
