| | Cecil Rhodes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Rhodes died in 1902, and was considered at the time one of the wealthiest men in the world. | | | Though his prejudice against the African people probably did not motivate his conquests, it was certainly an excuse for his seizure of African resources, and subjugation of its people. | | | He often disagreed with the Transvaal government's policies, and felt he could use his money and his power to overthrow the Boer government and install a British colonial government supporting mine-owners' interests in its place. |

| | Rhodes wanted the administrators of his will to seek out those qualities of excellence in young people which would contribute to "the world’s fight." He specifically directed that no candidate for a Scholarship should be qualified or disqualified on account of race or religious opinions. | | | Rhodes wished his Scholars to benefit from education at Oxford and to return, enriched by their experience, to contribute to careers in their home countries, without losing the affection for the United Kingdom which he believed that experience would nurture. | | | Rhodes hoped that his plan of bringing able students from throughout the English-speaking world and beyond to study at the University where he took his degree in 1881 would aid in the promotion of international understanding and peace. |
