<p>"Over the next 100 years, Rice would grow from a treeless spread of four buildings, 77 students, and a faculty of nine to a bucolic campus shaded by a canopy of 4,000 live oaks and swamp elms, with 80 buildings, more than 6,300 students, and a faculty of 1,000."</p>

<p>Happy Birthday Rice!!!</p>
<p>I really wish I was able to attend the festivities this upcoming weekend. We were in Houston this past weekend and the campus looks wonderful. It has changed so much since I was a student, that I got a little lost with all of the new buildings.</p>
<p>Can’t wait to hear from someone who goes.</p>
<p>Watch the Spectacle on YouTube. It was beyond words.
We beat UTSA at the homecoming game.
And Jones won the Centennial Cup. Because JIBA.</p>
<p>^
That awkward moment when you have to check whether Jones actually won or is just saying it did…</p>

<p>The Spectacle was one of the most impressive things that I have ever seen! The video doesn’t capture the stereophonic sounds and visuals the show provided. All I could say afer the show was, “WOW!”</p>
<p>^^ It was absolutely stunning. Brilliant piece of work.</p>
