A bronze memorial to the late Mr. Cecil Rhodes has been affixed to the front of the house No. 6, King Edward St. Oxford,
where he resided while he was an undergraduate of Oriel College in the year 1881. The tablet is placed between the two windows
on the first floor. It consists of a bust of Mr Rhodes cast in deep relief and surmounted by the coat-of-arma of Oriel. On a square
panel below is the following inscription in raised letters: — "In this house the Right Hon. Cecil Rhodes kept academical residence
in the year 1881. This memorial is erected by Alfred Mosely in recognition of the great services rendered by Cecil Rhodes to his country."
