>> The Rice story that's most interesting to me is how I met my husband.
He was a professor here at Rice, and I was a student.
And his mother was a sponsor of our literary society.
And so the literary society was having their closed formal, and the sponsors were all coming,
and I was dancing with someone, and Mrs. ten Brink came in, his mother with him.
And so I danced up and greeted them and introduced them around
and danced off thinking, my, what a handsome man.
And the next morning, but I thought no more about it.
And the next morning our telephone rang, and his mother called my mother
and said does Doris go steady, and she said, oh, heavens, no.
And she said, well, do you think she'd be interested in dating my Carl, her son,
and mother said I don't know he'd have to ask her.
Well, he called up and named several dates when he would take me out, and I had dates.
And I thought here is opportunity going flying out the window,
and so I said to him I'm not doing anything tomorrow night.
And so we had a date the next night, and from then on, he was my steady.
