Rhodes Scholar

• Rhodes Scholar. In 1922, after graduating from the University of Wyoming and while on the faculty of Laramie High School, Parker was selected December 2, 1922, as a Rhodes Scholar, slated to attend one of the colleges at the University of Oxford in the Fall 1923. He was the third from Sheridan to be selected. The two others were:

1. 1914–1917: Seymour Sereno Sharp (1893–1953) (Wyoming class of 1915), Exeter College
2. 1917–1920: Horace North Wilcox (1892–1966) (Wyoming class of 1917), St. John's College

Four others from Wyoming, as of 1917, were Rhodes Scholars, $1,500 yearly (equivalent to $50,867 in 2023):

3. 1904–1907: Harold Guy Merriam (1883–1980) (Wyoming class of 1905), Lincoln College
4. 1910–1913: Edward Noel Roberts (1888–1973) (Wyoming class of 1910), Exeter College, son of Wyoming missionary, Rev. John R. Roberts (1853–1949)
5. 1911–1914: Esper Wayne Fitz (1989–1980), Wadham College
6. 1913–1916: Frank Graham Swain (1892–1975), Wadham College

Although Parker did not attend an Oxford college as a Rhodes Scholar, he later served on Rhodes Scholar selection committees, including 1953, 1954, 1962, 1965 (Wyoming committee), and 1966, when he was a member of the Northwest District Committee with J. Earll Miller (1889–1970), professor emeritus of the University of Montana (retired in 1961).
