MONTREAL -- Vincent Larochelle, a member of the McGill fencing team, is one of two current 香蕉视频 students to earn a Rhodes Scholarship.

Larochelle, from Quebec City, is the 12th McGill varsity athlete to win the prestigious honour and joins Stephen Aylward, from Mount Pearl, Newfoundland, as the 129th and 130th McGill students to claim a Rhodes Scholarship, a prize established in 1902 by a selection committee that seeks individuals who have achieved high academic standing and who have demonstrated respect for their fellows, an unselfish spirit and the potential for leadership.

鈥淲e are very proud of both of them,鈥� said Morton J. Mendelson, Deputy Provost (Student Life and Learning). 鈥淭he Rhodes criteria are extremely demanding 鈥揳 lot more than just good marks. We congratulate Vincent and Stephen on their terrific accomplishments and look forward to the contributions they will make in the future as they pursue their careers and continue their efforts to make the world a better place. Bravo!鈥�

The world鈥檚 oldest and pre-eminent academic fellowship, the Rhodes covers two years of study, valued at approximately, $20,000 (U.S.) per year, at the University of Oxford in England.
Only 11 Rhodes Scholarships are awarded in Canada annually.聽

Previous McGill athletes to earn the award include David Johnson (track & field) in 1923, F. Munroe Bourne (track & field, 1932), James Waugh (swimming, 1968), Willie Hinz (basketball, 1983-84), Alexa Bagnell (swimming, 1990-91),聽 Lesley Fellows (basketball/rowing, 1990-91), Christine Desmarais (hockey, 1997-98), Emily-Claire Poupart (rowing, 2002-03), Alexandra Conliffe (rowing, 2003-04),聽 Erin Freeland-Ballantyne (nordic skiing, 2004-05) and Katherine Trajan (swimming, 2006-07).

Enrolled in an Honours BSc program in mathematics with a minor in classics, the 21-year-old Larochelle is strongly motivated by truth, courage and devotion 鈥� values Rhodes Scholars should exemplify, in addition to demonstrating academic achievement and success in sports.

鈥淚 chose to study math in university not because of the possible career options, but because mathematics allows you to develop an incredible intellectual sharpness,鈥� Larochelle said.

Aside from his time spent with the fencing team, Larochelle also devotes time to a local organization that supports people with reduced mobility.

The list of eminent Rhodes scholars is long, and includes Montreal neurosurgeon Dr. Wilder Penfield; Canadian Governor General Roland Michener; US President Bill Clinton; US Secretary of State Dean Rusk; astronomer Edwin Hubble; Australian Nobel Prize-winning scientist Sir John C. Eccles; American poet Robert Penn Warren; US Senator J. William Fulbright; US Senator, US presidential candidate and pro basketball star Bill Bradley; NATO Commander and US presidential candidate Gen. Wesley Clark; and American songwriter and actor Kris Kristofferson.
