The Presidential Inaugural Committee is
charged with the overall planning of the presidential inauguration and the
events surrounding it.
On Saturday, October 30, 1993 Malcolm Gillis was installed as the sixth
president of Rice University. On Friday, October 29, Charles Duncan, Chair of
the Board of Governors, presented the summons calling for Dr. Gillis to attend
his investiture. The inaugural ceremony took place at 5:30 p.m. and was to be
held in the Academic Quadrangle, however, bad weather caused the installation
to be moved to Autry Court. The inaugural theme was “A Lifetime of Learning.”
The Rice Chorale and Band provided music. Bagpipes were also played by a Rice
University student.
The inaugural dinner was held at the Westin Galleria
Hotel, on Friday evening. There was a private dinner for the Gillis’ on
Saturday evening at the Cohen House. Other events included a buffet supper for
delegates and on Sunday, there was a student festival and a University barbecue
outside the Rice Memorial Center.
About 750 delegates came for the ceremony; 1500 attended the inaugural
address.
Dr. Gillis received a B.A. (1962) and an M.A. (1963) from the
University of Florida. He earned his Ph.D. in economics from the University of
Illinois in 1968. Teaching positions included Duke University and Harvard. In
1986 he was named dean of the Graduate School and Vice Provost for Academic
Affairs at Duke and in 1991 he became dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
Dr. Gillis assumed the presidency of Rice on July 1, 1993.
In June 2004,
Dr. Gillis stepped down to resume his teaching career.
