Additional Description

General

Dorothy Weiser Seale, the daughter of Dean H. B. Weiser, graduated from Rice Institute in 1937. During her time at Rice, Seale was May Queen, vice president of the Student Association, Archi-Arts beauty, Galveston Mardi Gras Princess, a participant of the Thresher and Owl yearbook staff, president of the Writing Club, and secretary of Pallas Athene Literary Society. She was even selected as one of Rice Institute's "Most Beautiful Girls." Three years after graduation, Dorothy Weiser Seale was the first bride to wed at Cohen House, home of the Rice Faculty Club, and has since returned the precious silver bowl, given to her as a wedding present by Agnes Cohen, to Rice University as a historical keepsake.
