Oxford

Four Princetonians were selected from a pool of 830 candidates to win this year’s Rhodes Scholarship, the Rhodes Trust announced early Sunday morning. Mohit Agrawal ’11, Liz Butterworth ’12, Miriam Rosenbaum ’12 and Astrid Stuth ’12 are among the 32 Americans who will receive full funding to study at Oxford for the next two or three years.

As I set foot on the brick pavement of Oxfordshire and witnessed the jaw-dropping and time-transcending architecture, the unique Oxford education started to unfold.

Veronica Shi ’11, a classics major from West Covina, Calif., is this year’s recipient of the Daniel M. Sachs Class of 1960 Graduating Scholarship, one of the University’s most prestigious awards for Princeton undergraduates. Shi plans to use the funding to enroll in a two-year master’s program in Greek and Latin Languages and Literature.

A rich life is not a conventional blow-by-blow news story.
