Additional Description

General

Ervin A. Kalb graduated from Rice Institute in 1916. Kalb was a member of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA), giving speeches at their banquets and buying stock in their facility, Camp Sandyhook. Kalb was also the captain of the basket ball team, playing center, and the team's president. In addition, he was a member of the track and field team in 1914, participating in discus throw and shot put. In 1916 Kalb was elected editor in chief for the first annual or year book to be published by a senior class at Rice Institute, and this book became known as the Campanile. Apparently his disorderly conduct in the dining room at Rice led to his suspension from the Residential Hall for Men for one week by the Hall Committee. He also had low grades and attendance, which resulted in him being called upon by the Committee on Examination and Standing, and the committee informed him he must make up several classes.
