Thank you! The main section of this report covers the last fi nancial year, namely 1 July 2012 – 30 June 2013, but we have also included a section on our new Campaign for the Second Century. This received a remarkable lead gift that was announced during the 110th Rhodes Anniversary, from John McCall MacBain, our fi rst Second Century Founder, and Marcy McCall MacBain. The donation – up to £75 million in three tranches as matching requirements are met – offers an exciting, and unprecedented opportunity for Scholars and friends of the Scholarships to take part in securing the future. The impact of the Rhodes Scholarships in the world is dramatic, and we are working to ensure this continues. This includes deepening the Scholar experience both in Oxford and as a global community of Scholars, and looking at the possibilities for geographic expansion. A crucial part of this process is to secure the Scholarships fi nancially, and that is why each and every name recognised in this, our third annual Honour Roll, is so important. Any organisation is only as strong as those who belong within it and your commitment and dedication is something which fi lls us with confi dence for the future. The Rhodes Scholarships are a truly collaborative effort. Thank you.

Our Second Century campaign goal was announced at £110 million. As the result of the lead gifts received, we are within striking distance of securing the current Scholarships once and for all and now have £50 million of this left to raise. We need your help to achieve that, and your donation will release the ‘matching’ element of the McCall MacBain Foundation gift, specifi cally a 1:1 match for donations to the Canadian Scholarships, and 1:2 match for others. The Campaign for the Second Century is a chance for all Rhodes Scholars to contribute to the future of the Scholarships, giving the next generation a chance to enjoy the unique experience of Oxford and to take their new knowledge and experiences with them as they disperse across the globe.

  • BUILDING a STRONGER CANADA-ASIA RELATIONSHIP THROUGH TWO-WAY EDUCATIONAL LINKS by Dominic Barton
    RESEARCH REPORTS www.asiapacific.ca MARCH 19, 2014 ©iStockphoto.com/Rawpixel BUILDING A STRONGER CANADA-ASIA RELATIONSHIP THROUGH TWO-WAY EDUCATIONAL LINKS by Dominic Barton About The Author Dominic Barton is the Global Managing Director of McKinsey & Company. In his 25 years with the firm, Dominic has advised clients in a range of industries – including banking, consumer goods, high tech and industrial – but his core area of work is in financial sector development and reform. Prior to his current role, Dominic was McKinsey’s Chairman of Asia from 2004-2009, based in Shanghai, and he led McKinsey’s office in Korea from 2000-2004. To find out more visit:www.asiapacific.ca 1 www.asiapacific.ca Research Report BUILDING A STRONGER CANADA-ASIA RELATIONSHIP THROUGH TWO-WAY EDUCATIONAL LINKS Although many of Canada’s leaders and high-profile reports have emphasized the importance of international education to Canada’s future, action to date has been modest and sporadic. On the ‘inbound’ side, which focuses on attracting students from other countries to study in Canada, we face intensifying competition. International students are highly coveted for their financial contributions to the host economies, their potential to become skilled workers after graduation and their ability to serve as ambassadors in building closer relationships with Asian nations. To merely stay competitive, Canada needs to significantly boost funding and promotion of its education offerings. On the ‘outbound’ side, which focuses on sending more Canadians to Asia, there is an even wider gap between what Canada is and should be doing, especially in comparison with Australia, New Zealand, the U.S.

At the same time, we, the members of the Henry Jackson Initiative for Inclusive Capitalism task force—a trans-Atlantic and non-partisan private-sector group of business, policy and academic practitioners—recognize that the recent crisis has highlighted a number of weaknesses in the system. Accordingly, we set out the case for capitalism, identify three areas in which progress needs to be made to improve it, and identify a number of companies already working in these areas to improve the functioning of our system.

I am benefitting at every step from frank and wide-ranging conversations with alumni, students, faculty, and staff. One thing I have learned very quickly is that the Yale SOM mission to educate leaders for business and society is an animating principle for the whole community. Mission statements can be little more than words, recorded in memorandums and then relegated to the remote outskirts of a website. At Yale SOM, by contrast, the mission is discussed, debated, questioned, and honored. In fact, in nearly every conversation I’ve had about the school, someone has brought up the mission without being prompted. And often they’ve brought it up to challenge me and to ask how I am going to make sure the school continues to live up to its mission. The mission is a challenge to all of us. The necessary correlate of a meaningful, worthwhile mission is that it requires attention, action, and introspection from all of us who care about it. The world urgently needs leaders who can recognize the greatest needs, both globally and in the communities around them; who take responsibility for making a real difference by applying rigorous approaches to assessment and decision making; and who bring energy, passion, and caring to everything they do.
