Number 33 – They give awards to cover their tracks

Historians can't quite understand Cecil Rhodes, on the one hand his ideas were racist (he virtually pioneered Apartheid) but on the other hand he had an unusual (for the time) interest in African cultures and language and seems to have had a respect for the African people that was very unusual.
All that being said, the Rhodes Scholarships continue to bring the most outstanding students from many countries to study at Oxford, and I doubt that any of these students would agree with most of Mr Grasses comments, they are, after all, very well educated.
