Chelsea Clinton looks set to follow in her father’s footsteps by undertaking a post-graduate course at the same Oxford University college where the former US president was a Rhodes scholar in the Sixties.
The 21-year-old history student, who is due to graduate from top American university Stanford next month, is expected to take a Master in Philosophy or Masters of Arts degree in history. She would join the course this October.
Although the university says it has not been officially informed that Chelsea is to study there, the president of the College’s middle common room, Roland Enmarch, spoke enthusiastically of the new student’s arrival, saying: “Chelsea will be made very welcome here and I am very much looking forward to meeting her. Her father had a jolly good time here and I’m sure she will too.”
The former First Daughter will have the opportunity to meet her prospective tutors next Friday when she is in the UK with her father who has been invited to open the Rothermere American Institute.
Her arrival at the college this autumn will bring with it all the security trappings which prevailed during her stay at Stanford, including a round-the-clock team of US secret service agents backed up by Special Branch officers.
