A lot of good things turn 100 this year, apparently. After attending the ACM Turing Centenary Celebration, I attended the 100th homecoming of my alma mater, Rice University.
It was a great time to return, as many of my friends had come back too. And the Centennial Spectacle, an audio-visual presentation projected onto the buildings in the Academic Quad, was quite something. I had goosebumps for most of the 15 minutes that it lasted.
-
- President Leebron’s speech in the Academic Quad. “Rice must be Rice.”
-
- The tower for the Centennial Spectacle.
-
- Rice vs. UTSA football game. I’ve never seen the stadium this full.
-
- And Rice actually won: Rice 34:14 UTSA.
-
- Sid *is* huge!
-
- New statue of Lovett, Rice’s first president.
-
- Centennial Spectacle: Vines projected onto Lovett Hall.
-
- Centennial Spectacle: Flying owl projected onto Herzstein Hall, Lovett Hall, and Sewall Hall.
-
- Centennial Spectacle: Kennedy and astronaut projected onto Lovett Hall.
