Biographical / Historical

The DeLange Conferences are made possible by an endowment established at Rice University by C. M. and Demaris Hudspeth in memory of Demaris' parents, Albert J. and Demaris Crowley DeLange. These conferences began in 1991 and are held every two to four years. They have the flexibility to range broadly in subject matter and discipline. All are intended to bring to the Rice University campus top experts and major figures to focus on a topic of great concern to society. Focusing on diverse topics such as the environment, human behavior, medicine, libraries, art museums, universities, information technology, and city planning, the conferences have occurred periodically since 1991, usually on the Rice campus and often co-sponsored by other organizations. Speakers are recruited internationally. Four conferences resulted in published books.
