IMPORTANT GIFT FROM RICE UNIVERSITY
I. G. THWAITES.
In April of this year the Library effected an exchange with the William Marsh Rice University in Houston, Texas, and received a complete set of the Rice University Studies, a periodical in predominantly monograph form which first appeared in 1915 and is continuing today. Until this gift was made only a few numbers of the series were held in New Zealand libraries and the complete file is to be valued not only for its wide range of subject-matter but also for the scholarship of the articles.
Categories of interest to the Library which are dealt with in the Rice University Studies include English literature and history, discovery and exploration, Russian literature and American literature. Important figures to be given detailed treatment are Milton, Shakespeare, Robert Browning, James Thomson, Charles Darwin, Sir Francis Bacon, Dante and the French explorer Cavelier de la Salle.
Other subjects covered in the series include architecture, art, astronomy, biology, chemistry, economics, mathematics, music, philosophy, polical science and religion.
The William Marsh Rice University, formerly the Rice Institute, is a privately endowed co-educational institution opened in 1912 under the terms of the will of W. M. Rice and today catering for over 2,000 students.
