Rhodes Scholar Schools

Schools with two scholarship winners a Harvard University in
Cambridge, Massachusetts; Princeton University in New Jersey; Columbia
University in New York; the University of Georgia in Athens, and St.
Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota. A scholar was selected from each
of the major service academies, the U.S. Military Academy in West Point,
New York; the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, and the U.S.
Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

U.S. Before today's announcement, Harvard had the highest total of
