Life at Rice? It’s pretty nice!
Rice consistently ranks as one of the nations top schools in quality of life for its students.
Space City USA
John F. Kennedy gave his famous speech stating the United States would send a man to the moon at Rice Stadium. It was also thanks to political maneuvering of Rice professors that the first word broadcast from the moon was “Houston.”
Foundation in a founder’s death
Rice’s founder, William Marsh Rice, chartered Rice but stipulated that the school would begin only after his death. Within a decade of doing so, he was murdered by his valet on behalf of a man attempting to steal his estate with a forged will.
