Rice yearbooks also feature pictures of students in blackface
Sorry can't provide the link but apparently there is a Washington Post story today that talks about how a number of old college yearbooks features photos of students in them in blackface. Rice and GWU are two of the schools mentioned in the article. Maybe someone here can post snippets of the article that mention Rice if you want.
I have a question, does Rice still put on NOD?
A second question, with campus PC becoming more and more prevalent, how much longer do you think Beer Bike is going to be held?

Thanks to Houston Lawyer for the link. This Rice student has been posting photos the past day or so of past yearbook photos. I'm sure the campus administration is thrilled with him.

Good reminder how different times were in the not so distant past. Some rather disgusting behavior in today’s world wasn’t viewed the same 50 years ago.
I remember watching Mad Men and first realizing how much had changed when Don’s family just tosses trash on the ground at the park and Roger sings in black face at a party.

And vice versa, of course.

Hell, yes!
But to be precise, Rice doesn’t put on NOD; Wiess does.
