THE RICE INSTITUTE
THE NAME
^nr^HE new institution bears the name of the founder,
-^ the late William Marsh Rice. It aspires to university
standing of the highest grade. Dedicated to the advance-
ment of literature, science, and art, the educational pro-
gramme of liberal and technical learning npw being
developed may justify the designation "Institute" as rep-
resenting the functions of a teaching university and, at
least in some of its departments, those of the more recent
research institutions established in this country and
abroad.
BRIEF HISTORICAL SKETCH
It is now rather more than thirty years since several
public-spirited citizens of the community asked Mr. Rice
to bear the expense of building a new public high school
for the city of Houston. This direct gift to the city's
welfare Mr. Rice was unwilling to make, but a little later,
taking into his confidence a half-dozen friends, he made
known to them his desire to found a much larger educa-
tional enterprise for the permanent benefit of the city and
state of his adoption. These gentlemen were organized
into a Board of Trustees for the new foundation, which
was incorporated in 1891 under a broad charter granting
the trustees large freedom in the future organization of a
non-political and non-sectarian institution to be dedicated
to the advancement of letters, science, and art. As a
[7]
THE RICE INSTITUTE
nucleus for an endowment fund, Mr. Rice at this time
made over an interest-bearing note of two hundred thou-
sand dollars to the original Board of Trustees, consisting
of himself, Mr. James A. Baker, and the late Messrs.
J. E. McAshan, E. Raphael, F. A. Rice, A. S. Richardson
and C. Lombardi. Under the terms of the charter, the
board is a self-perpetuating body of seven members elected
for life: vacancies since its organization have been filled by
the election of Messrs. William Marsh Rice, Jr., Benjamin
Botts Rice, Edgar Odell Lovett, John Thaddeus Scott,
Alexander Sessums Cleveland, and Edward Andrew Peden.
It was the unalterable will of the founder that the de-
velopment of the work which he had conceived should
progress no further during his lifetime. However, in the
remaining days of his life he increased the endowment
fund from time to time by transferring to the trustees the
titles to certain of his properties, and in the end made the
new foundation his residuary legatee. Upon the termina-
tion of the long years of litigation which followed Mr.
Rice's death in 1900, the Board of Trustees found the
Institute in possession of an estate whose present value is
conservatively estimated at approximately ten million
dollars, divided by the provisions of the founder's will into
almost equal parts available for equipment and endowment
respectively. It may be remarked in passing that it is
the determined policy of the trustees to build and maintain
the institution out of the income, thus preserving intact
the principal not only of the endowment fund, but also
that of the equipment fund. While proceeding to convert
the non-productive properties of the estate into income-
bearing investments, the trustees called Mr. Edgar Odell
[8]
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Lovett, a professor in Princeton University, to assist
them in developing the founder's far-reaching plans. Before
taking up his residence in Houston, the future president
visited the leading educational and scientific establishments
of the world, returning in the summer of 1909 from a
year's journey of study that extended from England to
Japan. About this time negotiations were completed by
which the Institute secured a campus of three hundred
acres situated on the extension of Houston's main thorough-
fare, three miles from the center of the city — a tract of
ground universally regarded as the most appropriate within
the vicinity of the city.
Another early decision of the trustees of the Institute
was the determination that the new university should be
housed in noble architecture worthy of the founder's high
aims; and upon this idea they entered with no lower
ambition than to establish on the campus of the Institute
a group of buildings conspicuous alike for their beauty
and for their utility, which should stand not only as a
worthy monument to the founder's philanthropy, but also
as a distinct contribution to the architecture of our coun-
try. With this end in view they determined to commit to
Messrs. Cram, Goodhue, and Ferguson, of Boston and
New York, the task of designing a general architectural
plan to embody in the course of future years the realization
of the educational programme which had been adopted
for the Institute. Such a general plan, the work of Mr.
Ralph Adams Cram, L.H.D., exhibiting in itself many
attractive elements of the architecture of Italy, France,
and Spain, was accepted by the board in the spring of
1910. Immediately thereafter plans and specifications for
[9]
THE RICE INSTITUTE
an administration building were prepared, and in the fol-
lowing July the contract for its construction was awarded;
three months later the erection of a mechanical laboratory
and power-house was begun, and by the next autumn the
construction of two wings of the first residential hall for
men was well under way. In the preparation of prelimi-
nary plans for its initial building operations the Institute
enjoyed the cooperation of an advisory committee consist-
ing of Professor Ames, director of the physical laboratory
of the Johns Hopkins University, at present President of
the University; Professor Conklin, director of the biological,
laboratory of Princeton University; the late Professor
Richards, chairman of the department of chemistry. Har-
vard University; and Professor Stratton, director of the
National Bureau of Standards, at present Chairman of the
Corporation of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In 191 1, on the seventy-fifth anniversary of Texas In-
dependence, the corner-stone of the administration building
was laid by the trustees. This building, the mechanical
laboratory of the engineering quadrangle, the power-house,
and the first two wings of the first residential hall for men
were ready for occupancy at the beginning of the first
academic year in the fall of 1912. The third wing of this
residential hall, begun in 1913, was first occupied by stu-
dents in the autumn of 1914; while the construction of the
physics laboratories and lecture amphitheater, begun also
in 1913, was completed in the summer of 1914 from plans
prepared by Messrs. Cram and Ferguson under the direc-
tion of Mr. H. A. Wilson, D.Sc, F.R.S., resident professor
of physics in the Institute. In January, 1916, ground was
broken for the first wing of the second residential group
[lOl
ANNOUNCEMENTS
for men; the construction of this wing was completed by
September, 1916. Further building operations were sus-
pended during the war. In the meantime the Athletic
Field House and other structures of the exhibition field
were completed in 1920. At the commencement exercises
of 1923 ground was broken for the new laboratory for
chemistry, the plans for which were prepared by Messrs.
Cram and Ferguson and Mr. W. W. Watkin, associate
architects, under the direction of Mr. H. B. Weiser, Ph.D.,
resident professor of chemistry in the Institute. The con-
struction of this laboratory was completed during the
academic year 1924-25.
The actual work of instruction of the first academic
year began on the 23d day of September, 1912, the anni-
versary of the death of the founder. In the presence of
the trustees of the Institute, members of the teaching staff,
and representative citizens of the community, the first
class of students was received in the faculty chamber of
the administration building with appropriate ceremonies
on September 26th. The scholastic work of the first aca-
demic year was limited to a single class of freshmen of a
standard of preparation as high as the best public and
private high schools were capable of attaining.
In the early autumn of 191 2 an academic festival in
observance of the formal opening of the Institute was held
under altogether favorable conditions of weather, most gen-
erous cooperation of the community and commonwealth,
and the heartening encouragement of several hundred
scholars and scientists who came to Houston to assist in
the launching of the new university. Chief among these
distinguished representatives of life and learning were the
[II]

twelve foreign savants who had consented to participate in
the inaugural programme by preparing series of lectures
in the liberal humanities of philosophy, history, letters, and
art, and in the fundamental sciences of mathematics,
physics, chemistry, and biology. A complete account of
the proceedings of the four days devoted to this celebration
has been embodied in publications issued in commemoration

THE RICE INSTITUTE
SCHOLARSHIPS
While seeking to develop its students in character, in
culture, and in citizenship, the Rice Institute will reserve
for scholarship its highest rewards and in particular .for
evidences of creative capacity in productive scholarship.
To encourage this devotion to learning there have been
devised through the donations of friends of the Institute
a number of undergraduate scholarships to be awarded
preferably to those students who have been in residence
at the Institute for at least one year. Moreover, honorary
scholarships without stipend may be granted to students
whose scholastic standing shows marked ability.
The Graham Baker Studentship
The first of these undergraduate scholarships to be estab-

In memory of their son, the late Raymond Ruser Stone, a
mechanical engineering graduate of the Rice Institute in the
Class of 1930, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse R. Stone, of Houston, are
making provision for an annual award of one hundred
dollars to that student of mechanical engineering who has
at the end of his sophomore year shown the most interest
and ability in kinematics and related subjects, the selection
to be made by the mechanical engineering faculty and to be
contingent on the financial needs of the student and on his
continuing his work into the junior year in engineering at
the Rice Institute. The first assignment of the Raymond R.
Stone Award in Mechanical Engineering has been made for
the academic year 1931-32.
The Robert Pilcher Quin Award
By a group of student friends of the late Robert Pilcher
Quin, a member of the Class of 1933, provision is being
made for an annual "Bob Quin Award" in the form of a
medal, for qualities in athletics, leadership, scholarship, and
sportsmanship in which he himself excelled. The first of
these medals was awarded for the academic year 1930-31.
[33]
THE RICE INSTITUTE
FELLOWSHIPS
The Rice Institute seeks to interpret in a large way its
dedication to the advancement of letters, science, and art.
It not only looks to the employment of these disciplines in
the development of the life of the individual and in that of
the race, but it would also play its part in the progress and
enlargement of human knowledge by contributions of its
own resident professors and scholars. Accordingly there
have always been associated with the staff of the Institute
advanced students in training for careers both as teachers
and researchers: with this end in view, graduate fellowships
have been awarded from time to time to degree-bearing
students of the Institute and other educational foundations.
The Walter B. Sharp Memorial Fund for Research
IN Pure and Applied Science
In memory of her husband, the late Walter B. Sharp, one
of the earliest and most successful of the pioneers in the
development of the petroleum industry in this country, Mrs.
Estelle B. Sharp of Houston has endowed at the Rice
Institute the Walter B. Sharp Memorial Fund for Research
in Pure and Applied Science. The income from this fund is
to be used for the maintenance of resident or traveling
fellowships in scientific research, preference to be given
geological research, the production of petroleum and the
products closely allied thereto. A requisite for eligibility to
these fellowships is the degree of doctor of philosophy, or
similar standing in this or other institutions. The awards
are to be known as the Walter B. Sharp Fellowships, and
The holders thereof as the Walter B. Sharp Fellows of the
[34]
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Rice Institute. The first Walter B. Sharp Fellow, at a
stipend of $2500, has been appointed for the academic year
1931-32.
THE PHI BETA KAPPA SOCIETY
The Senate of the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa at
its meeting in December 1927, voted to recommend the
establishment of a chapter at the Rice Institute, and at a
meeting of the National Council held in September 1928,
the institution of the Rice, or Beta of Texas, Chapter was
duly authorized. The chapter was formally installed on
March i, 1929, by the Secretary of the United Chapters.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR SELF-HELP
In addition to the stipends of fellowships and endowed
scholarships, there are, on the campus and in the city,
opportunities in considerable variety for worthy and de-
serving students to earn a part of their living expenses
while attending the Institute. Information concerning
such openings may be obtained from the Bursar. Thanks
also to the generosity of a number of citizens of Houston,
there are available several student loan funds. Inquiries
concerning the administration of these funds should be
addressed to the Bursar.
The Richardson Fund for Rice Students
Mrs. Libbie A. Richardson, wife of the late Alfred S.
Richardson, who was a charter member of the Board of
Trustees of the Rice Institute, bequeathed in trust to the
Houston Land and Trust Company as trustee, approx-
imately $51,000 to constitute the Richardson Fund, the
[35]
THE RICE INSTITUTE
income therefrom to be used in educating necessitous young
men and women at the Rice Institute. The present annual
income of the Richardson Fund is about $2600. Inquiries
concerning the administration of this fund may be addressed
to the Bursar,
The Grant William Jordan and Cora Jordan
Memorial Fund
Under the will of the late Mrs. Cora Jordan, a resident of
Houston, the bulk of her estate was left in trust with the
Houston Land and Trust Company as trustee, the income
therefrom to be used in assisting worthy young men and
women in obtaining an education at the Rice Institute.
The Jordan Memorial Fund amounts at present to approx-
imately $56,000 and the net annual income therefrom is
about $3000. The beneficiaries under the Jordan Fund
have been appointed for the academic year 1930-31.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
All candidates for admission to the Institute are required
to present satisfactory testimonials as to their character,
and either to pass examinations in the entrance subjects,
or, in lieu thereof, to present certificate of graduation from
an approved public or private high school. The standard
requirements for matriculation are determined by the
system of units given below. A unit represents a course of
study pursued five hours a week for an academic year.
Appropriate application forms may be secured from the
Registrar.
Fifteen units are required for entrance in full standing
to the Freshman Class of the Institute. No candidate for
[36]
ANNOUNCEMENTS
admission will be accepted with fewer than fifteen units.
And towards this total of fifteen units, every candidate
will be required to present, from the lists of subjects printed
below, at least three units in English, three units in mathe-
matics,^ two in algebra and one in plane geometry, two
units in history, and three units in one foreign language
or two units in each of two foreign languages. Variation
in the distribution of units may be considered in individual
cases.
METHOD OF PROCEDURE FOR ADMISSION
I. General Policy of Competitive Admission of Students
With the rapid growth in population of Houston and the
Southwest, accompanied by an even more rapid increase
in the demand for college training, the Rice Institute is
brought face to face with the problem of maintaining high
standards of instruction without shutting the door of
opportunity to properly qualified students. It is therefore
proposed, for the immediate future, to meet this problem
by a plan of admission based on the following principles:
1. The maintenance, as in the past, of standards for
entrance on a high plane.
2. The adoption in advance for each academic year or
group of years of a specific number of new students
to be admitted on a competitive basis. This number
should be slightly smaller than the demand but not
so far below that demand as to cause injustice to well
qualified students.
^ Students expecting to enter the Institute are advised to elect
mathematics during their fourth year. If possible, this course should
include training in algebra and trigonometry.
[37]
THE RICE INSTITUTE
3. The division of students into still smaller groups,
especially in the classes in elementary subjects. The
adoption of this principle makes necessary the
acceptance of a smaller total number, but means
that a larger number will receive careful and ade-
quate instruction.
II. Specific Plan for the Admission of Four Hundred New
Students in the Autumn of igji
The Rice Institute will accept four hundred new students
in September, 1931. The total student body will thus
consist of about thirteen hundred members, which was
approximately the enrollment in September, 1930.
In selecting the members of the Freshman Class the Com-
mittee will be guided by such principles as the following:
1. As at present, no candidate to be accepted with
fewer than fifteen units.
2. Preference to be given to candidates who present
the maximum number of units in English, Mathe-
matics, Foreign Languages, Science, and History.
3. Preference to be given to candidates who show special
promise and capacity for leadership, especially those
in the upper half of their high school class.
4. Of candidates not in one of the above preferential
groups, special preference to be given to those who
prove fitness by taking entrance examinations in
one or more subjects.
5. Preference to be given to candidates whose applica-
tions are received early.
6. Candidates, once chosen, are received without con-
ditions.

ginning September 14, 1931, and again during the week
beginning May 9, 1932. Applications for the privilege
of taking these examinations must be received at the
Registrar's Office three weeks in advance of the begin-
ning of the examinations. Such applications must be
accompanied by statements and records from schools
attended by candidates. Appropriate forms for such
applications and records may be obtained from the Reg-
istrar's Office of the Rice Institute on request.
The terms of admission to the Institute are based on
the recommendations of the Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching as expressed in the Documents
of the College Entrance Examination Board. Complete
information with respect to further details of these re-
[39]
THE RICE INSTITUTE
quirements will be forwarded by the Institute to any
candidate upon receipt of a request addressed to the
Registrar of the Institute.
Advanced credit will be granted to students coming
from other recognized colleges and univ^ersities only when
the work presented is equivalent in content and quality to
a full year course at the Institute. Such prospective stu-
dents should make early application to the Registrar and
submit official statements of their preparatory and college
work, together with catalogues of the institutions attended.
EXPENSES
The opportunities for study and research offered by the
Rice Institute are open without tuition both to young men
and to young women. Students, of course, are expected to
meet all expenses incurred in the purchase of text books,
drafting instruments, note books, examination papers, cer-
tificates and diplomas, and the materials actually used up
in the experimental courses in pure and applied science.
An annual registration fee of ten dollars is required of all
students. A fee of sixteen dollars is required at registration
time of all male Freshmen, for the use of physical training
equipment during his residence; for details see page 98. An
annual medical fee of five dollars is required of all students
living in the Residential Halls. A contingent deposit of ten
dollars, payable at registration, must be maintained by each
student. In addition to this general contingent deposit,
laboratory deposits also payable at registration must be
maintained at the Office of the Bursar as follows: a deposit
of twenty-five dollars for each course taken in biology,
chemistry, and physics; a deposit of twenty-five dollars for
[40]
ANNOUNCEMENTS
the junior and senior courses in civil, electrical, and me-
chanical engineering; and a deposit of twenty-five dollars
for the courses of each year in architecture.
These deposits, contingent and laboratory, will ordinarily
cover the charges against the student for materials, et cet-
era, but in the event these charges against any particular
deposit should approach the amount of that deposit, the
student will be required to make such additional payment
as will bring his deposit to the original amount: this is
what is meant by maintaining a deposit. Any balances on
these deposits are returned in July following the academic
year. For delayed registration a penalty is required. See
page 98 for expenses in connection with physical training.
No student in arrears in his bills to the Institute will be
admitted to any of the examinations.
At the time of registration a fee of eighteen dollars is
assessed each student by the Students' Association to
meet the expenses of the Students' Association, the Honor
Council, and the student publications. This assessment is
made with the approval of the Faculty and the Board of
Trustees, but the payment of the fee is not compulsory.
However, students who thus become members of the
Students' Association are entitled to admission to all
athletic contests of Rice Institute teams held in Houston,
and they receive the weekly paper and the college an-
nual.
Rooms in the residential halls for men, completely
furnished exclusive of linen, may be had at prices ranging
from eighty to one hundred and twenty-five dollars per year,
five-eighths of the rental being paid when the lease is signed
and the remainder paid in February. As the charge for
[41]
THE RICE INSTITUTE
table board will be made at actual cost, the monthly
price, payable in advance, will probably vary during the
year. Until October first, a blanket charge of one dollar
and five cents per day will be made.
These residential halls are of absolutely fireproof con-
struction, heated by steam, lighted by electricity, cleaned
by vacuum apparatus, and equipped with the most ap-
proved form of sanitary plumbing, providing adequate
bathing facilities on every floor. The rooms will be let
in the order of applications received. Inasmuch as each
year the accommodations now adequate to house some
three hundred and fifty men have all been engaged before
the opening of the session, reservations should be made
early. Diagrams showing the floor plans will be sent
to anyone who may be interested on application to the
Office of the Bursar.
Accommodations for the residence of young women on
the university grounds are not available at present. How-
ever, while attending to their duties on the campus the
young women of the university have access to adequate
rest rooms, tennis courts, and other forms of recreation
under the constant supervision of Mrs. William Bradshaw
Torrens, Adviser to Women. Information concerning de-
sirable places of residence for young women students may
be had at the Office of the Bursar.
COURSES OF INSTRUCTION FOR DEGREES
Although it is the policy of the institution to develop
its university programme rather more seriously from the
science end, there are also being provided facilities for
elementary and advanced courses in the so-called humani-
[42I
ANNOUNCEMENTS
ties, thereby enabling the Institute to offer both the ad-
vantages of a Hberal general education and those of special
and professional training. Extensive general courses in
the various domains of scientific knowledge will be avail-
able, but in the main the programme consists of subjects
carefully coordinated and calling for considerable con-
centration of study. These programmes have been so
arranged as to offer a variety of courses in arts, in science,
in letters, and in their applications to the several fields of
engineering, architecture, and other regions of applied
science, leading after four years of undergraduate work
to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Degrees will also be
offered in architecture and in chemical, civil, electrical,
and mechanical engineering. Furthermore, for the degrees
of Master of Arts, Doctor of Philosophy, and Doctor of
Engineering, every facility will be afforded properly
qualified graduate students to undertaken lines of study
and research under the direction of the Institute's resident
and visiting professors.
The academic programmes of study leading to the de-
gree of Bachelor of Arts after four years of study are
of a common type for the first two years, but for the
third and fourth years are differentiated into two forms:
first, general courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of
Arts, either with some grade of distinction or without
special mention, and, second, honours courses leading to
the degree with honours in certain subjects. These are
types that will be referred to in the sequel as general courses
and honours courses respectively.
The general course leading to the degree of B.A. has
been arranged to give thorough training to those students
[43]
THE RICE INSTITUTE
who are seeking university instruction in literary and sci-
entific subjects either as a part of a liberal education or as
preliminary to entering upon a business or professional
career. The general course therefor involves the study
of several subjects up to a high university standard but
does not include a highly detailed specialized study of any
one subject such as is necessary before research work or
university teaching can be profitably undertaken. Stu-
dents wishing to specialize with a view to research work
and university teaching may either complete an honours
B.A. course and then proceed by graduate study to the
degrees of M.A. and Ph.D., or they may first take a general
B.A. course and after completing it proceed by graduate
study to the higher degrees.
The attention of students intending to enter the profes-
sion of engineering or architecture is called to the great
advantages in first taking a general or honours academic
course before beginning special study in engineering or
architecture. At present the Institute is not offering
courses leading to degrees in law and medicine, but stu-
dents looking forward to such careers will find in the
earlier years of the B.A. course all the requirements for
admission to many medical and law schools, provided
suitable subjects are chosen. However, attention is
called to the fact that several professional schools of
law and medicine now require bachelor degrees for admis-
sion.
As has already been intimated, the course for the degree
of B.A. extends over four years. During the first two
years a considerable part of the work is prescribed, while
44
ANNOUNCEMENTS
during the last two years each student is allowed, within
certain restrictions to select the subjects he studies. In
the majority of the courses the formal instruction offered
consists of three lectures a week together with laboratory
work in certain subjects. Preliminary examinations for
Freshmen and students on probation are held in December,
examinations for all students are given in February and
final examinations for all are held in June. Other examina-
tions are given from time to time at periods determined
by the instructors.
These examinations are conducted under a student honor
system. In determining the standing of a student in each
class both his work during the term and the record of his
examinations are taken into account.

THE RICE INSTITUTE
Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts of the
Rice Institute will be required to select studies from the
preceding groups according to the yearly programmes
exhibited below.
First Year
(i) Pure mathematics
(2) English
(3) A modern language
(4) A science
(5) One other subject
Second Year
(i) Pure mathematics or a science
(2) English
(3) A modern language^
(4-5) Two other subjects.
At the beginning of the third year students may elect
to take either a general course or an honours course.
Third Year General B.A. Course
Four subjects, of which two must have been taken in the
second year and one in both first and second. At least one
subject from each of the groups A and B must be taken.
Students will receive advice in the selection of their subjects.
Fourth Year General B.A. Course
Four subjects, two of which must have been taken in
the third year and one in both second and third or in first
' Students who enter with credit in two modern languages may
substitute another subject for (3) in the second year; on the other
hand, students must take at least one second year language course for
graduation.
[46]
ANNOUNCEMENTS
and third. At least one subject from each of the groups A and
B must be taken. However, students will be allowed to spe-
cialize in their fourth year, provided they substitute an ad-
vanced course for the required group A or group B subject.
A student who wishes to become a candidate for a general
B.A. degree should report his candidacy in writing at the
beginning of the year in which he expects to take his degree.
To students who have completed a general four years'
course the B.A. degree will be awarded either with some
grade of distinction or without special mention.
HONOURS COURSES
The third and fourth year honours courses are intended
for students who wish to specialize in particular branches
of knowledge with a view to research work or teaching or
later professional studies.
It is suggested that students who wish to prepare them-
selves for scientific careers in physics, chemistry, mathe-
matics, or the scientific developments of engineering, enroll
themselves for honours in physical sciences, in which a
course in mathematics, physics, and chemistry is taken
every year. The courses that form an essential part of
the programme are the following: Mathematics 210, 220,
310; Physics 200, and two from among courses, 300, 310,
320, 330; Chemistry 220, 300, 310. Besides these, one or
two other advanced courses may be chosen in fields in
which the student is especially interested. The programme is
further supplemented by systematic reading and thesis work.
In view of these special objects the requirements in
such courses will be more severe than in the general courses
in the same subjects. For this reason it is recommended
[47]
THE RICE INSTITUTE
that students exercise due caution and seek advice before
electing to take an honours course. Only those students
who have shown in their first and second years that they
are especially well qualified will be permitted to take an
honours course. A student proposing to take an honours
course must satisfy the department concerned that he is
qualified to proceed with the study of that subject. He
will be required to take the lectures and practical work
provided for honours students in that subject during each
of the two years and in addition certain courses in allied
subjects. It is a decided advantage for students in honours
courses to have had some preparation in French or German
before entering college.
In 1931-32 honours courses will be available as follows:
(i) Pure and applied mathematics
(2) Theoretical and experimental physics
(3) Physical sciences
(4) Modern languages and literatures
(5) Biology
(6) Chemistry
(7) Economics and mathematics
(8) English
(9) History
(10) Philosophy
The following programme of honours courses in physics
may be taken as typical of such courses :
Third year, four subjects: (i) mathematics, (2) and (3)
Physics 300 and 320, or 310 and 330, (4) one other subject.
Fourth year, four subjects: (i) mathematics, (2) and (3)
Physics 300 and 320, or 310 and 330, (4) one other subject.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
A student who wishes to become a candidate for a de-
gree with honours should report his candidacy at the
beginning of his third year and renew his application at
the beginning of his fourth year.
The degree of BA. with honours will be awarded at
the end of the fourth year to students who have completed
an honours course. Candidates for honours who fail may
be excused such part of a general course as may be equiva-
lent to the work they have done. Candidates for honours
who are not making satisfactory progress may be required
to discontinue their honours course and may be excused
such part of a general course as may be equivalent to the
work they have done.
For courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science,
see pages loi -ii6.
A student who has completed a general or an honours
course for the B.A. degree may obtain the Master of Arts
degree after the successful completion of one year of
graduate work.
A candidate for the M.A. degree must elect a principal
subject, and submit his schedule in writing when he re-
ports his candidacy. Such schedule must represent the
equivalent of four advanced courses to be passed with
high credit. The work shall consist of (a) personal in-
vestigation, the results of which must be submitted as a
thesis, and (b) at least two advanced courses of lectures, one
of which must be a graduate course in the principal subject.
For courses leading to the degree of Master of Science,
see page loi.
A student who has completed a course for the B.A. de-
gree may be admitted as a candidate for the degree of
[49]
THE RICE INSTITUTE
Doctor of Philosophy. In addition to high attainment,
preparation for the Ph.D. degree involves usually at least
three years of graduate work. Candidates for the degree
must submit a thesis and pass a public examination. The
thesis must present a distinctly original contribution to
the subject. It must be published in an accredited journal
or series, and fifty printed copies must be deposited in the
Institute Library.
Candidates who successfully complete the first four years
of the engineering course will receive the degree of Bachelor
of Science in a specified branch of engineering. This de-
gree will be awarded with distinction to students whose
work is of a high standard. Candidates who successfully
complete the five years' engineering course will receive the
degree of Ch.E., C.E., E.E., or M.E. according to the
branch of engineering taken. Under requirements con-
forming to those for the M.A. degree, namely, high stand-
ing and a thesis, the M.S. degree in a specified branch of
engineering may be awarded.
Candidates who successfully complete the five years'
course in architecture will be awarded the degree of Bache-
lor of Science in Architecture. Students in architecture
who satisfy all the requirements for the degree of M.A.
may elect to take that degree if they prefer.
STANDING IN SCHOLARSHIP OF UNDER-
GRADUATE STUDENTS
Schedule of Undergraduate Students. — The regular sched-
ule of undergraduate students is five courses in the Fresh-
man year, five courses in the Sophomore year, four courses
[50]
ANNOUNCEMENTS
in the Junior year, and four courses in the Senior year.
The regular schedules for students of Engineering and
Architecture may be found in these Announcements be-
ginning on pages loi and ii6 respectively. Admission to
less than the regular schedule is rarely granted, and then
only in the most exceptional circumstances. One extra
course may be taken in the second year and one in the
third year by students who are not on probation. De-
ficiencies of the first two years must be removed before
the year in which a student is a candidate for a degree,
and may not be removed by extra courses in that year.
An excess schedule must be reduced if a student fails to
attain a grade of III or better in three courses, or if he
fails to pass any course without at the same time doing
work of exceptional quality in his other courses. No credit
is given toward graduation for less than a full year's course
in any subject, but a course which has been dropped by
permission after the February examinations and in which
a student's standing is satisfactory may be carried to
completion in a succeeding year. Summer school courses
will be accepted to remove not more than one Freshman
or Sophomore deficiency. To remove a college deficiency
no credit will be given for a course unless it is the equiv-
alent in content and quality of a full year course at the
Institute.
Examinations. — All courses at the Rice Institute are
year courses. Preliminary examinations are given to Fresh-
men and students on probation in December. Regular
written examinations are given to all students in February
and at the close of the academic year in June. In Junior and
Senior courses (listed as 300 or 400 courses) the June
[51]
THE RICE INSTITUTE
examinations cover the work of the whole year. In ele-
mentary courses (listed as lOO or 200 courses) examinations
cover the work done from the time of the preceding ex-
amination.
Dropping of Students for Deficiencies in Scholarship. —
A student will be required to withdraw from the Institute
if he fails in as much as one-half of the work of his schedule.
He will also be dropped for failure to come off probation
within one year, or for poor scholarship due to absences
from the exercises of his schedule. Any student who with-
draws from the Institute within five weeks of the beginning
of any regular examination period on account of failure in
his courses will be regarded as dropped from the Institute.
A student dropped from the Institute is not entitled to
readmission. Exceptions may be made and a student
granted readmission on presentation of satisfactory evi-
dence that previous deficiencies have been removed.
Dropped students, when allowed to return, are received
only on probation. Students who have been dropped
twice are not entitled to readmission.
Probation. — A student who is carrying five courses will
be placed on probation if among his grades for the term
there are two V's^ or no grade better than IV. A student
who is carrying four courses will be placed on probation if
he has one V and one other grade below III, or has failed
to obtain a grade of III or better in at least one course.
A student with fewer than four courses will be placed on
probation if he has one V, or if he does not obtain at least
two grades of III or better. Probation is terminated only
^The symbols have the following meanings: I Very high standing,
II High standing, III Medium standing, IV Low standing, V Failure.
[52]
ANNOUNCEMENTS
at regular examination periods and must be terminated
within one year's time or the student will be dropped from
the Institute. A student who is on probation may also be
dropped at any time during the probation period for in-
attention to the requirements of his schedule. A student
who is on probation is not permitted to hold any elective
office, or to serve as editor, assistant editor, business
manager, or assistant business manager of a college publi-
cation.
Promotion. — To attain Sophomore standing, a student
must have obtained in four of the five courses of the
Freshman year, passing grades of which two must have
been III or better. To attain Junior standing, a student
must have obtained in at least nine of the ten courses of
the Freshman and Sophomore years, passing grades of
which four must have been III or better. To attain Senior
standing, a student must have obtained passing grades, of
which six must have been III or better, in at least thirteen
courses of the five courses of the Freshman year, the five
courses of the Sophomore year, and the four courses of the
Junior year, required for full Senior standing. To obtain
the degree of Bachelor of Arts, a student must have obtained
passing grades, of which eight must have been III or better,
in five Freshman courses, five Sophomore courses, four
Junior courses, and four Senior courses, required for the
first degree. Attention is called to the fact that this four
years' course is built up by years. Accordingly four courses
of the Freshman and Sophomore years respectively will
not be credited as the equivalent of four courses of the
Junior and Senior years respectively, a higher standard and
wider range of collateral work being required of Juniors
[53l
THE RICE INSTITUTE
and Seniors who elect in either of those years an elementary
subject of the Freshman and Sophomore years.
No student shall attain Sophomore, Junior, or Senior
standing in Engineering and Architecture who lacks more
than one course of the standard schedule required for full
standing in those years.

PHYSICAL TRAINING AND PHYSICAL
EDUCATION
The equipment of the athletic Field House not only
makes provision for the university athletic teams but also
aflfords opportunity for systematic physical training on the
part of other members of the institution. Facilities are
available in or near the Field House for basket ball, football,
track and field work, baseball, handball, tennis, golf, and
other athletic and recreative games.
Physical Training, All men entering the Institute for
the first time are required to take a year's course in physical
training.^ This course, Physical Training lOO, is also open
to any other male student in the Institute. Students

participating in intercollegiate athletics will receive appro-
priate credit for the duration of their participation. How-
ever, the required course offers a programme of games and
intramural sports for those who are not competing in inter-
collegiate athletics but for whom the benefits of recreation,
exercise, and athletic competition are also desirable. The
activities of the course will be so organized as to utilize the
play instinct as much as possible.
The certificate of medical examination required of a stu-
dent on admission will determine in a large measure the
character of the work that the individual student is per-
mitted to take. In certain special cases, a supplementary-
physical examination may be required. In cases where the
student is physically or organically unfit for a normal pro-
gram of physical activity, he will be assigned to a restricted
exercise group where special activities will be made to serve
his needs. In aid cases, the work will be so organized as to
eliminate direct competition between the physically weaker
and the physically stronger among the students.
For this physical training, a fee of $i6, payable at regis-
tration time, is required, entitling the student during his
residence as an undergraduate to the use of the Field House
and playing fields, to the use of a complete gymnasium uni-
form (excepting only gymnasium shoes, which are also
required), and towels, and to laundry service for the pre-
ceding items of equipment.

Physical Education. Beginning with the academic year
1929-30, the Rice Institute offers a four years' course in
physical education, leading to the degree of Bachelor of
Science in Physical Education. This course is designed
with a view to preparing men for careers in physical educa-
tion and coaching in high schools and colleges, municipal
recreation departments, and other similar organizations. In
each of its four years there is a required course in physical
education, and in the last two years courses in education,
making available a state teacher's certificate. The required
work in biology and chemistry serves not only as a basis
for the work in physical education, but also affords further
subjects for high-school teaching. The laboratory work in
these science courses is held in the morning hours, in order
not to interfere with physical education laboratory work in
the afternoons. Considerable emphasis is placed on eco-
nomics and business administration for the benefit of those
who ultimately, if not immediately, go into business. Stu-
dents looking forward to medicine or law are permitted to
make substitutions enabling them to meet the ordinary
pre-medical and pre-legal requirements.
The schedule of the four years' course in Physical Educa-
tion is as follows:

COURSES IN ENGINEERING
Courses are offered in chemical, civil, electrical, and
mechanical engineering. A complete course in any one
of these branches extends over five years. A student
who has successfully completed the first four years of a
course is awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science in a
specified branch of engineering, and after successfully com-
pleting the remaining year of his course he is awarded the
degree of Ch.E., C.E., E.E., or M.E. Students with high
standing may receive the M.S. degree in a specified branch
[lOl]
THE RICE INSTITUTE
of engineering under the same requirements as for the M.A.
degree. It is intended in the engineering courses to pay
special attention to the theoretical side, because experience
has shown that theoretical knowledge is difficult to obtain
after leaving the university, and without it a rapid rise in
the profession of engineering is almost impossible. It is
recommended that students obtain employment in engineer-
ing work during the summer vacations, for it should be re-
membered that no amount of university work can take the
place of practical experience in engineering establishments
and in the field. The courses in engineering are not intended
to take the place of learning by practical experience, but are
designed to supply a knowledge of the fundamental princi-
ples and scientific methods on which the practice of en-
gineering is based and without which it is difficult, if not
impossible, to succeed in the practice of the profession. The
work of the first year is alike for all branches, in order that
students may defer choice of a particular engineering
course as long as possible. It is necessary for chemical
engineers to make this choice at the beginning of the
second year, civil engineers at the beginning of the third
year, and electrical and mechanical engineers at the begin-
ning of the fourth year.
The work of the first two years consists chiefly of courses
in pure and applied mathematics, physics, chemistry, and
other subjects, an adequate knowledge of which is ab-
solutely necessary before the more technical courses can
be pursued with advantage. Technical work is begun in
the third year with courses of a general character in
mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and electrical
[ 102]
ANNOUNCEMENTS
engineering, all three of these branches to be taken by all
engineering students, with a slight change in schedule for
those in chemical engineering. In the third year instruc-
tion of students in mechanical and electrical engineering
is begun in shopwork. The classes in shopwork are in-
tended to give familiarity with workshop methods. The
object of these classes is not primarily to train students
to become skilled mechanics, but to provide such knowl-
edge of shop methods as is desirable for those who
may be expected as engineers to design machinery, to
employ mechanics, and to superintend manufacturing
processes.
Students who can afford the time are recommended to
devote three or four years to preliminary work instead
of two, taking the B.A. at the end of four years and an
engineering degree at the end of six or seven years. Stu-
dents proposing to do this are advised to take a course
devoted largely to mathematics, physics, and chemistry,
or an honours course in either mathematics, physics, or
chemistry. The subjects taken during the years of pre-
paratory work must include those of the first two years in
the general engineering course, which may be substituted
for options in the academic course. The honours course
in physics is strongly recommended for those who wish to
become either electrical or mechanical engineers. Typical
schedules permitting such combination courses will be fur-
nished by the Registrar on request.
The following are the schedules for the five years' course
leading to a bachelor's degree in four years and an engineer-
ing degree in five years :

COURSES IN ARCHITECTURE
To students of architecture the Institute offers a full
course extending over five years, leading to a bachelor's
degree at the end of the fourth year and to an architec-
tural degree at the end of the fifth year. It is the purpose
of the course in architecture to lead students during their
residence to a comprehensive understanding of the art of
building; to acquaint them with the history of architecture
from early civilization to the present age; and to develop
within them an understanding and appreciation of those
conceptions of beauty and utility which are fundamental
to the cultivation of ability in the art of design.
In arranging the courses which follow it will be ob-
served that there are included certain indispensable ele-
ments of a liberal education and also such engineering and
technical subjects as are becoming more and more neces-
sary to the general education of a practising architect.
[116]
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Of the more strictly architectural subjects, design is given
by far the largest place. As a matter of fact, the courses
in history and design and those in freehand drawing, in
water color, in drawing from life, and in historic ornament
have all a double object: to create in the student an appre-
ciation of architectural refinement and dignity, and to
increase constantly his ability to express conceptions of
architectural form. Accordingly, the training of the stu-
dent is not limited to training in draftsmanship alone,
but all courses conspire to the cultivation of creative and
constructive ability in expression and design. With a view
to keeping the student in touch with the progress of his
profession and with the daily routine and detail of its
practice, it is strongly recommended that he spend a por-
tion of each of his summer vacations in the office of some
practising architect.
The following are the schedules for the five years' course
leading to a bachelor's degree in four years and a degree
in architecture in five years:

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION LECTURES
To bring the people of the city and community into more
intimate touch with the academic life of the university, and
to carry the influence of that life directly to many homes
not represented on the rolls of its undergraduate or post-
graduate students, regular series of public lectures, in
the form of university extension lectures, are offered with-
out matriculation fee or other form of admission require-
ment. These performances are authoritative in character,
but as non-technical and popular in treatment as their
subjects will permit. From domains of literature, history,
science, art, philosophy, and politics, subjects of current
interest as well as those of assured and permanent value
[ 122]
ANNOUNCEMENTS
are chosen. The original plan for these university exten-
sion lectures consisted in giving each academic year two
regular series of thirty-six lectures each on Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays, from the middle of November
to the middle of February, the second series running
similarly from the middle of February to the middle of
May; all these lectures are delivered in the lecture halls
and amphitheaters of the Institute, each afternoon lecture
beginning promptly at 4:30 and closing not later than 5 :30.
The Rice Institute Pamphlet for January, 1918, contains
a detailed record of the university extension lectures de-
livered at the Institute during the academic years 1913-14
to 191 7-1 8, inclusive. These performances were partially
interrupted during the war, but have been resumed under
some modifications of the original plan as to time and
place.
PUBLIC LECTURESHIPS
Three public lectureships have been founded at the Rice
Institute. The first of these, established in 191 8 by Mrs.
Estelle B. Sharp, of Houston, has to do primarily with
topics in the social sciences; the second, founded in 19 19
by Herbert Godwin, Esq., of Houston, is to be devoted
initially to subjects of public concern during the period of
reconstruction; while the third, founded anonymously in
1922 by a citizen of Houston, is dedicated to the promo-
tion of interest in music both in the university and in the
community. The Sharp Lectureship was inaugurated in
the autumn of 1918 by a course of lectures on "The Obli-
gations and Privileges of Citizenship — a plea for the study
of social science," by the late Sir Henry Jones, F.B.A.,
[ 123]
THE RICE INSTITUTE
professor in the University of Glasgow. Subsequent lec-
tures on the Sharp Foundation have been delivered by
Professor Andrew Cunningham McLaughlin, of the Uni-
versity of Chicago and Dr. Terrot Reaveley Glover, of
Cambridge University. The Godwin Lectureship was inau-
gurated in the spring of 1920 by lectures on "The Con-
servation of the Institutions of the Republic," and "World-
wide Cooperation among the Nations," by the Hon.
William Howard Taft, twenty-seventh President of the
United States of America. Further lectures on the Godwin
Foundation have been delivered by Sir Auckland Geddes,
the British Ambassador to the United States, and by
President A. Lawrence Lowell, of Harvard University.
The Lectureship in Music was inaugurated in the spring
of 1923 by a course of lectures on music in the life of the
community and of the nation, delivered by Mr. John
Powell, the American composer and pianist; the Lecture-
ship in Music has also been held by Mile. Nadia Boulanger,
of Paris, by Sir Henry Hadow, Vice-Chancellor of the
University of Sheffield, and by MM. Maurice Ravel and
A. Honegger of Paris.
THE RICE INSTITUTE PUBLICATIONS
Among the publications of the Rice Institute are at present
included the Announcements, the Descriptive Brochure,
the Programmes of University Extension Lectures, and
the Rice Institute Pamphlet. The first three of these have
appeared at intervals and in several editions; the Pamphlet,
now in its eighteenth volume, is published quarterly in
January, April, July, and October, with a view to giving
[ 124]
ANNOUNCEMENTS
wider publicity in permanent form to inaugural and
other lectures in letters, science, and art by resident and
visiting lecturers and professors of the University. In
this connection the reader may wish to turn to the para-
graph of this Announcement concerning the formal opening
of the Institute.
LIBRARY
Temporary quarters for the Library of the Institute have
been provided in the Administration Building. The affairs
of the Library are administered through a committee of
the Faculty and Miss Alice C. Dean, M.A., is Acting
Librarian. In providing the initial equipment of the
Library the policy is being followed of supplying such
books as are necessary to supplement the courses of in-
struction and to support the independent investigations of
members of the Faculty and advanced students. In this
manner a high degree of efficiency becomes possible in the
early years of the Library's existence. Moreover, for works
of general and more popular interest the shelves of the
Houston Public Library are accessible to all members of
the Institute.
Besides several hundred current literary and scientific
journals, the Library of the Institute contains at present
about thirty thousand volumes in back files of serial pub-
lications; among these sets the following are complete:
Abstracts of Bacteriology, LAcademie des Sciences de
Paris Comptes Rendus, Acta Mathematica, Allgemeine

LABORATORY INSTALLATION
The physics laboratories are located on the north side of
the academic court, adjoining the administration building,
and are connected with the latter by a continuation of the
original cloister. The buildings are constructed of brick
and marble, corresponding in design to the style as defined
in the administration building, but of a simpler character
expressing their purpose as laboratories. The physics
laboratory proper is a two-story building 275X56 feet,
connected with a large lecture amphitheater 121X72 feet.
The main building contains four large students' laboratories,
two lecture rooms equipped for giving illustrated lectures,
and four research rooms, two dark rooms, a library reading
room, and administrative offices. The principal room of
the amphitheater wing is a large lecture hall with seating
capacity for about four hundred auditors. The room is
fully equipped for giving illustrated lectures and is arranged
with seats properly elevated to command a 28-foot lecture
table which is supplied with gas, hot and cold water, com-
pressed air, vacuum, and direct and alternating electric
currents. In this wing also are six rooms fitted for research
work in physics, a battery room in which a battery of 100
Edison storage cells of 300 ampere-hours' capacity has been
installed with space provided for another equal battery,
a switchboard room where the wires from the battery can
be connected in any desired manner for use in the labora-
tories, motor generators for charging the batteries and
supplying direct current to the lecture rooms and labora-
tories, a vacuum pump, liquid air plant, constant tempera-
ture rooms, a preparation room, a large dark room, a fully
[131]
THE RICE INSTITUTE
equipped workshop and a students' workshop. The floor
of the workshop is supported free from contact with the
surrounding walls so that vibration from the machines does
not affect the building. Elevators for moving heavy ap-
paratus are provided, and all laboratories, lecture rooms,
and research rooms are equipped with individual service,
for the students, of gas, water, steam, compressed air,
vacuum, and both direct and alternating currents of
electricity. The laboratory now contains a fine collection of
modern apparatus suitable for teaching and research work
in all branches of physics. This collection includes about
seventy ammeters and voltmeters of all types, including a
Kelvin gauge reading up to 30,000 volts and standard
Weston instruments. About fifty resistance boxes of all
kinds are also provided, and numerous galvanometers,
electrometers, and electroscopes of various types. High
potential batteries and generators are available for research
work. A large Weiss electromagnet, a large Pye magnet, a
Leeds and Northrup Potentiometer, and complete equip-
ment for the accurate measurement of the conductivity of
solutions, a precision electric wave meter and precision air
condenser, may be specially mentioned among the other
electrical instruments. The optical instruments include a
Hilger's wave length spectrometer, monochromatic illumi-
nator, spectrophotometer, and quartz spectrograph ; also a
set of interferometers of various types. Several modern
X-ray generators are available for research work. For work
in heat, electrical furnaces, various types of radiation
pyrometers, resistance thermometers, and standard thermo-
couples are available. An Eotvos torsion balance machine
of the most improved pattern for geophysical work has
[ 132 ]
ANNOUNCEMENTS
lately been installed. This machine, valued at $10,000, is
the gift of Mr. Robert McM. Gillespie of New York City.
The apparatus for general work includes several Gaede and
diffusion pumps; also standards of weight, length, etc. The
collection of apparatus for illustrating lectures is exception-
ally complete. An instrument maker and a glass blower are
employed in the construction of special apparatus for re-
search work. The department library contains all im-
portant text books, works of reference and complete sets
of journals.
The laboratories for chemistry are housed in a three-
story building of maximum rectangular dimensions of
307 and 181 feet, with ample attic and basement accom-
modations, built around several open courts, facing the
South. Of brick and stone, steel and concrete construc-
tion, the building embodies the prevailing architectural
beauty and simplicity of technical plan exhibited in the
earlier science laboratories of Rice. Provision is made
for adequately equipped, separate laboratories both for
research and instruction in the half dozen major branches
of chemistry, with an even larger number of smaller
laboratories for corresponding work in the more highly
specialized subjects of the science. In all the laboratories
there is an abundance of natural light, while an elaborate
system of artificial ventilation removes all fumes through
a central draft tower, so designed as to constitute of itself
one of the architectural features of the building. Care-
ful consideration has been given both to the antici-
pated growth of the institution and the normal develop-
ment of the department. The plans thus studiously
prepared may bear comparison with those of extensive
[133]
THE RICE INSTITUTE
establishments erected recently at other universities and
scientific centres of the country. The department is well
equipped with modern apparatus and materials for research
and for lecture room and laboratory work in inorganic,
organic, analytical, physical, colloid, electro-, bio-, and

equipped with the necessary conveniences, such as water,
gas, alternating and direct current, air blast, hoods,
suction pumps, etc. The lecture rooms are suitably ar-
ranged for the illustration of lectures by experiment and
lantern projection. In the department library will be
found the more important journals, works of reference, and
standard text-books on the different branches of chemistry.
These books and periodicals are accessible to all students.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
From the opening days of the Rice Institute the students
have participated in the various forms of intramural and
intercollegiate athletic contests, with the cooperation of the
Committee on Outdoor Sports. Of other student organiza-
tions, the first society actually to be formed was the Young
Men's Christian Association. This step on the part of the
young men was speedily followed by a similar one on the
part of the young women in the organization of their branch
of the college Young Women's Christian Association. The
founding of these religious societies, both of which have
contributed to the social life and the religious spirit of the
place, was followed in the course of the early years by the
forming of several literary societies: three by the young
women, the oldest society bearing the name of Elizabeth
[ 144]
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Baldwin, wife of the founder of the Institute, a later organi-
zation known as the "Pallas Athene Literary Society," and
the youngest, named the "Owen Wister Literary Society";
and three by the young men, known respectively as "The
Owl Literary Society," the "Riceonian Literary and De-
bating Society," and a later organization, "The Con-
gressional Club," organized after the order of the House of
Representatives and considering in debate leading public
issues as they arise before Congress. Under the auspices of
these first literary societies the first of the undergraduate
periodical publications was undertaken, namely, "The
Thresher," which appeared fortnightly from its initial num-
ber in January, 1916, to June, 1918, and has been published
weekly since. Previous to the organization of the staff of
"The Thresher," the Class of 191 6 made arrangements for
the publication of the first class annual of the Institute,
"The Campanile," which appeared in the spring of 191 6.
The second and third volumes were issued by the classes of
1917 and 1918, respectively, and subsequent annual editions
have been published by the representatives of the student
body as a whole. In addition to the student organizations
mentioned above, various departmental clubs and scientific
societies have been contributing to the intellectual life of the
Institute, one of the earliest of these being the Engineering
Society, which was started in 1914, and which in recent
years has been conducting as a student enterprise the
biennial Rice Engineering Show, a public exhibition of the
activities of the engineering and science laboratories. The
student body is organized into a Student Association which
includes all students of the Institute and serves as the
official organ for the expression of their views and for the
[145I
THE RICE INSTITUTE
promotion of student enterprises. In particular the under-
graduate periodicals are now maintained under the auspices
of this association. A Students' Council, elected by the
Association, provides leadership in the Association. The
president of the Association is president of the Council.
The halls of residence for men are governed by a student
Hall Committee, under the general supervision of the Dean.
Mr. William M. Rice, Jr., has provided a cabinet for the
preservation and exhibition of trophies won by Rice teams
in local and intercollegiate contests. This elaborate cabinet,
designed by Mr. R. A. Cram, supervising architect of the
Institute, is a most beautiful example of wood carving.
Through the generosity of Mrs. James L. Autry and as a
memorial to her husband, the late James L. Autry, of Hous-
ton, the Diocese of Texas of the Protestant Episcopal
Church is maintaining in the immediate vicinity of the Rice
Institute, Autry House, as a social and religious centre.
The corner stone of Autry House was laid during the com-
mencement ceremonies of the Class of 1921. To this com-
munity group of the Episcopal Church Mrs. E. L. Neville,
of Houston, in memory of her brother, the late Edward
Albert Palmer has contributed the beautiful Edward Albert
Palmer Memorial Chapel, which was dedicated November
2"], 1927. All the opportunities of these establishments are
available to the students of the Rice Institute irrespective
of religious affiliation. Other religious bodies have inti-
mated that they are considering future provision for similar
undertakings in the neighborhood of the Rice Institute.
Through personal association with several generations of
Rice students, Mr. George Cohen of Houston was led to
make generous provision for the Robert and Agnes Cohen
[146]
ANNOUNCEMENTS
House in honor of his parents, who for many years have
been well known and highly respected citizens of Texas.
This beautiful building, in materials and architecture con-
forming with the first of the Rice quadrangles, designed to
afford to the faculty the advantages of a club-house on the
campus, was dedicated at the annual homecoming of the
Rice Alumni on Thanksgiving Day of the year 1927.
