The City of London Pilgrims Society is running America

QUAKERS: PILGRIMS SOCIETY: The ELDERS

1. Rhodes Scholarship & Cecil Rhodes’ Vision
 • Cecil Rhodes’ will (1902) explicitly set up the scholarships to create a network of leaders bound by shared Oxford education and loyalty to Britain.
 • He was inspired by ideas of an “Anglo-Saxon union” — essentially a federation of Britain, the U.S., and other English-speaking colonies.
 • This is philosophically close to what the Pilgrims Society later embodied — an elite Anglo-American dining club and networking organization founded in London (1902) and New York (1903) to “promote good-will, good-fellowship and everlasting peace between the United States and Great Britain.”

👉 So: Rhodes Scholarships and the Pilgrims Society were born within two years of each other, both focused on cementing U.S.–U.K. leadership.

2. The Pilgrims Society
 • Members include top bankers (J.P. Morgan, Rothschilds), industrialists, media owners, diplomats, and politicians.
 • Many U.S. Rhodes Scholars later appear on Pilgrims Society membership lists (or connected organizations like the CFR, RIIA/Chatham House, etc.).
 • In practice, the Rhodes Scholars are the “recruiting pipeline” — and the Pilgrims are the inner club of that Anglo-American elite system.

3. Quaker Connection

This part is subtler, but important:
 • Quakers (Society of Friends) were disproportionately influential in finance, philanthropy, and reform movements (Barclays, Lloyds, Cadbury in the UK; Wharton, Phipps, Haverford in the U.S.).
 • Rhodes himself was influenced by Quaker-linked financiers and reformers in Cape Colony and London who funded or advised him.
 • The Quaker ethic of service, education, and global peace overlaps with the public-facing ideals of the Rhodes Trust.
 • At Oxford, Quaker colleges (esp. connections through Haverford and Swarthmore in the U.S.) became feeders into Rhodes Scholar nominations.
 • Some argue that Quakers provided a kind of “moral cover” — pacifism, service, brotherhood — for a network that was actually building an Anglo-imperial management class.

4. Putting It Together
 • Rhodes Scholars: the cadets (talented young recruits).
 • Pilgrims Society: the elders (established financiers, industrialists, statesmen).
 • Quakers: the moral and financial backbone that helped give the project credibility and recruitment pipelines, especially in America.

In short: The Rhodes Scholarship was not an isolated academic program — it was one leg of a triangle of Anglo-American elite integration. Pilgrims gave it institutional power, Quakers gave it moral respectability, and Rhodes’ fortune gave it funding.
