In the years since the institute first opened its doors to students in 1912, Rice has established itself as one of the most selective undergraduate and grad- uate universities in the United States. Through a faculty of 325, Rice University now offers a broad program of basic studies and research in the humanities, sci- ences, social sciences, architecture, and engineering, to some 2700 undergrad- uate men and women. Its graduate programs provide specialized training to over 800 students in areas of advanced research. Located near the heart of metropolitan Houston, the university occupies a tree-lined campus of more than 300 acres. Its physical resources include eight residential colleges for undergraduates, numerous classroom buildings and lab- oratories, the 875,000-volume Fondren Library, the Media Center, and the Insti- tute for Computer Sciences and Applications. Joint classes and research projects are held with many of the institutions in the nearby Texas Medical Center and with other universities. The majority of undergraduate students live on campus in the residential colleges. Modeled after the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge, the residential colleges at Rice provide a focus for the undergraduate experience. Each college has a separate student government; it plans social functions, fields intramural teams, and sponsors innovative academic courses, visiting distinguished speakers, plays, and other functions. Each college has a faculty master whose family home adjoins the college. Other resident faculty members and approximately eighteen non-resident faculty associates act as advisers and mentors to the students in each college. At present two of the residential colleges house both men and women, two are for women only, and the other four are for men. Graduate life centers in the library, the laboratories, and the graduate lounges. Graduate students live off campus, but the Graduate Student Association organizes and funds regular social functions and provides graduate students with a separate organization that represents their interests within the university.

    Fort Union and Its Neighbors on the Upper Missouri 303 Cook, Meares and Vancouver. No claim is made to a presenta­ tion of new material but the new arrangement makes available in convenient and inexpensive form a connected account of events in the early history of the North Pacific Coast. The book is well illustrated and contains seven maps. It is particularly well adapt­ ed to school use but is worthy of a place in libraries, public or private. Five tales of maritime adventure from log books and orginal narratives compose the volume entitled The Sea} The Ship, and the Sailor. Two are of special interest to students of the Pacific Northwest. One of these is a reprint of The Life and Adventures of John Nicol (Edinburgh, Blackwoods, 1822) a rare volume growing out of the voyage of Portlock and Dixon. The other is the first printing of a manuscript entitled : Narrative of Events in the Life of John Bartlett of Boston, Massachusetts, in the years 1790-1793} During Voyages to Canton and the Northwest Coast of North America. The narrative gives new information and its value is enhanced by notes supplied by his honour, Judge F. W. Howay. CHARLES W. SMITH. Fort Union and Its Neighbors on the Upper Missouri. By FRANK B.

  • Streamliners Program Transcript
    Page 1 Streamliners Program Transcript Narrator: At dawn, on May 26, 1934, the gleaming locomotive inched forward; with newsmen, railroad officials, and a curious crowd looking on, the streamlined train left Denver's Union Station behind... to attempt a record-breaking, non-stop run to Chicago. Newsreel (archival): "A new era in railroad transportation. The Zephyr's epical thousand-mile run, the fastest train dash ever made!" Narrator: All along the route, people by the thousands stood near the tracks to catch a glimpse of the streamliner -- a smooth, sleek machine, unlike any they had ever seen. "You almost forget you're moving," observed one of the reporters on board, "until you look out at those fence posts going by and realize they're telegraph poles instead." Small airplanes tried to match the silver streak's speed which peaked at 112 miles per hour -- cutting in half travel time between the two cities. In Chicago, a huge crowd gathered to cheer the record shattering run, as headlines hailed the dawn of a new era. Within a few years, dozens of streamliners were racing across the country -- the sleek, stainless steel trains were the pride of the nation. But the bright promise of the streamliners would soon fade: In just 20 years, routes were abandoned, equipment sold overseas... gone were the days when American trains were the fastest, most comfortable in the world. "To anyone outside, a speeding train is a thunderbolt of driving rods, a hot hiss of steam, a blurred flash of coaches, a wall of movement and of noise, a shriek, a wail, and then just emptiness and absence, with a feeling of 'There goes everybody!' without knowing who anybody is..
