Historical Sketch
Perhaps no other event so represented Rice’s emerging role as a
national, even international, institution, than its being chosen to host the
1990 Economic Summit of the Industrialized Nations. For three days in July
heads of delegations from the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France,
Italy, Japan, Canada, and the European Economic Community held talks at Rice,
covered by thousands of journalists and communicated to the world. Rice had
long hosted major world figures—General Pershing; Presidents (or
presidents-to-be) Taft, Hoover, Eisenhower, Kennedy (announcing the goal of
going to the moon), Johnson, Carter, Reagan; Sir Harold Wilson; Prince Philip;
and the Dalai Lama suggest the range of famous visitors. But never had such an
assemblage appeared at one time as during the Economic Summit. Alumni around
the globe were thrilled to see on television world political leaders walking
through the familiar arches of Lovett Hall.
