President Edgar Odell Lovett, 1914 - 1917

This collection consists of greeting cards sent at Christmas and/or New Year’s Day by the six presidents of Rice Institute and University. Not every year of the various administrations is represented, and some are more completely represented than others. Images on some from the later years are the work of Rice photographers, specifically Geoff Winningham and Tommy LaVergne. 2008 is the last year represented in the collection because in 2009 and following years the president’s greeting has been an electronic message sent to recipients online.
