Fruit Box In Allen Center Basement Yields Mr. Rice's Papers

by Karen Hess Rogers

We have probably all had our special box, basket, or drawer of miscellaneous papers and correspondence that we never got around to filing or throwing out and it usually is a totally random collection of personal memorabilia.

So, I suppose, it should have come as no surprise to discover a fruit box containing a variety of William Marsh Rice's papers in a corner of the basement of Allen Center. Some of these were Mr. Rice's personal and business communications and some were documents relating to his estate. This fruit box had followed the business office of the prlJ- rtrv&r, 'Mi-/, Institute from the Scanlan and Esperson Buildings downtown to the Administration Building on campus in 1945. Then the box was moved to Allen Center when the building was completed in 1967. While several people knew vaguely of the exist- ence of these materials, no one guessed the signifi- cance of some of them. In July 1993, the staff of the Woodson Research Center in the Fondren Library I 1 asked me to talk with the Treasurer's office to transfer them to the more secure setting of the library. The Treasurer's Office said yes, and the first delivery took place in my children's 1985 station wagon. A second archival transfer took place a couple of months later. This consisted in the form of vintage filing cabinets containing information on Rice's landholdings. The business managers of the Mr. Wm M. Rice university still have occasion to refer to these.

Architect's Papers Added to Collection

by Elizabeth Hutcheson Carrell

The Woodson Research Center re- cently procured the papers of a Houston architect, William Addison McElroy (1897-1991), into its Alumni Collection. Mr. McElroy, a Rice graduate (1922), practiced architecture in the Houson area until the late 1950's. His projects included private residences in Tanglewood and River Oaks and a series of local churches, notably Saint Andrew's Presbyterian in Houston, the Bellaire Presbyterian Church, and Presbyterian churches in Corsicana and Baytown. Mr. McElroy was descended from a long line of Presbyterian ministers and remained active in the church throughout his life. His father, the Rev. Samuel Addison McElroy, served as pastor to Presbyterian communities in Kentucky, Alabama, Missouri, and Texas. As a result, Addison and his siblings moved often, but always within the William Addison McElroy security of small-town life in the South where the local minister occupied a position of authority. sight of Union troops marching through Louisville Samuel Addison McElroy, whose papers while he waved an American flag which an are included in the collection, was a popular and enthusiastic bystander had placed in his hand. all to the fence," he later said, respected figure in the Presbyterian church.

Second Booksale a Success

by Karen Hess Rogers

"Speaking of the kind of bash that's for the books, that's exactly what the powers that be at the Friends of Fondren Library have planned for Nov. 19 at 2407 Times Blvd. It's their members' preview party for the annual used book sale. For volumes of information, call ..." Betsy Parrish,

The Houston Post, November 5, 1993

The members' preview of the annual booksale (actually, the second sale this year) was indeed a festive occasion, with more than 100 guests sipping mineral water and wine, munching meatballs, and buying books. Friends of Fondren Library had responded generously to our plea for books — we collected more than 25,000 and the overall quality was extraordinary. Sightems (as Betsy would say): Judy Betty Conner and Harry Gee collect money.

Most hardbacks we priced at $1; paperbacks at 50 cents. A rare-book room contained volumes priced from $2 to $25. Rice had generously offered the Friends the use of some unoccupied retail space. Our operation eventually expanded into three store- fronts, five back offices, and a long hallway. After Thanksgiving we learned that this

was the future site of the new II, so we had a Going-Out-of-Business-Lost-Our-Lease sale the weekend before Christmas. We sold 3,300 paperbacks to one man. Marilyn Heliums accepted surplus furniture for the Graduate Loan Closet. We netted around $7,000 on the November sale, bringing our booksale revenue this year to more than $10,000.
