Rhodes Trust USA
The Trust (a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization) was set up in 1992 and became fully
operational in 1993. Its primary purpose is to provide funding and support for educational
activities conducted by Rhodes University in South Africa and other educational institutions and
initiatives in the surrounding area.
The Trust was established by two Old Rhodians, Warne Boyce (1949), former CEO of Microbac
Laboratories in Pittsburgh, and Neville Robertson (1946), a leading educational researcher for
Phi Delta Kappa in Bloomington, Indiana. Warne and Neville had a vision of US-based Old
Rhodians reaching out and helping their alma mater in what they knew would be an exciting but
challenging period ahead in the “New South Africa”. Unfortunately, they are both now deceased,
but we trust that they would be pleased by the efforts being made.
