Douglas de Lorenzo, a Dean's Scholar in the College of Arts and Science from North East, Md., is one of 32 students from throughout the nation to win the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship. He will receive a scholarship to attend Oxford University in England next fall. De Lorenzo's mother, Ann Draper, is an administrative assistant in the College of Arts and Science. Other scholarship winners from this district are students at the University of Virginia, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University.

De Lorenzo is the eighth Delaware graduate to be chosen for a Rhodes Scholarship. Leonard P. Stark, AS '91, won the honor in 1990 and was a member of this year's regional selection committee. According to research conducted by former Rhodes Scholar Cornelius Tilghman Sr. of Newark, AS '25, other recipients include Charles Bush, AS '03; Everett F. Warrington, AS '07; F. Bayard Carter, AS '20; G. Gray Carter, EG '22; William H. Maguigan, AS '35; and Anthony A. Sholl, AS '61.

Rhodes Scholarships were established in 1904 by the estate of Cecil Rhodes, a British philanthropist.
