Opened in 1929 as a memorial to Cecil Rhodes, this building is now used as offices for the Rhodes Trust. On the copper-domed roof is the Zimbabwe bird, the national symbol of Zimbabwe, formerly Rhodesia. Eighty five Rhodes scholarships are awarded each year on the basis of academic and all-round qualities to graduates from 18 countries. The first Rhodes scholars arrived in 1903 and former scholars include Bill Clinton, Norman Manley (former prime minister of Jamaica) and the actor Kriss Kristofferson.
