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 listed in the 1°0 directories but rather are listed recent directories. It was also discovered that the was true, that is, individuals listed in the earlier directories are not listed in later ones. This made not in more reverse ~» 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 breakdown by state and the names were simply listed alphabetically. It was also discovered that in some no cases the year the individual attended Oxford was not shown in some directories but was set forth in others. Thus, what at first appeared to bo a rather simple compilation of names, turned into a rather complicated preject. It is noted, however, that all the major obstacles have now been surmounted and the list is rapidly being completed. The List «ill show, with few exceptions, not only the individual's full and compicte name, but also the Ccollceye audi your aL! cnece in the 1940's, as well as his mployment. Upon completion of same, ile occupation and resi current residence and ¢« the ii t will be promptly submitted to the Bureau. Gath . te NOV 9 1966 | ou cig no Bee -2-3
