The American Oxonian (TAO; ISSN 0003-0295) is the magazine of the Association of American Rhodes Scholars. Its first issue appeared in April 1914.
History
From the beginning of the Rhodes Scholarship, the experience of American Rhodes Scholars in their Oxford University education created a bond among those who shared it and led to a desire to maintain contact with each other and to share memories and insights across the student generations. The first attempt to create a newsletter among the American Rhodes Scholar alumni was made in 1907 with a short-lived publication called The Alumni Magazine. Seven years later, a permanent successor appeared with the first issue of the American Oxonian in April 1914 and it has existed ever since.[1]
