A history teacher at my school is frantically trying to find out some infor on William Rice, the philanthropist who the namesake of Rice University. Was he ever in line for the Presidency, or temporarily served as President, or something like it? He seems to think that this did occur, but we cannot find any info in our collection. Rice lived through the 1800's, can't remember the exact dates, but it covered most of the century. Any knowledgeable folks out there? Rice alumni?
