Biographical / Historical

Rice University, a private, independent, coeducational university in Houston, opened in 1912 as the William Marsh Rice Institute. It was chartered in 1891 by former Houston merchant William Marsh Rice with a $200,000 interest-bearing note payable to the Rice Institute upon his death.

In 2009, the Rice Historical Society began a project to publish a book commemorating the upcoming centennial of the founding of Rice University. Rice University: One Hundred Years in Pictures was published by Texas A & M University Press in September 2012. The book includes more than 300 photographs that tell the story of a century of student life, a world-famous faculty, and news-making events at Rice.
