Rockwell Lectures Inaugurated
in 1938
The Rockwell Lectures on Religi-
ous Subjects were inaugurated two
years ago in memory of the late
James M. Rockwell by Mr. James VV.
Rockwell and other members of his
family. The first series of these lec-
tures was delivered in April, 1938,
by Sir Robert Falconer, K. C. M. 13 „
LL, D„ formerly President of the
University of Toronto, and the sec-
ond series in April, 1939, by the
Reverend Harris Elliott Kirk, D. D„
LL. D., minister of the Franklin
Street Presbyterian Church; Balti-
more, Maryland, As In the ease of
Dean Pound, Sir Robert Falconer and
Dr. Harris E. Kirk were already per-
sonally known to many Houstonians
through earlier engagements at the
Rice Institute.
A very cordial invitation is ex-
tended to the public to the third ae-
Continued from page I
led to what he described « his fav-
orite tree. It'* an umbrella-shaped
live oak that stand* at the entrance
to the road connecting the main
parking lot and the road to the En-
ifftjeming building. This was more
our idea of a pretty tree. Tony says
that he has left plenty of room for
it to grow and spread in such a way
as to keep its umbrella shape.
The description ot this umbrella
oak warmed Martlno up to his sub-
ject und so began a tour of the
grounds und a history of the plant-
ing of practically every twig big
enough to call itself a tree on the
IU''e campus.
In the fall of 1917 Tony began to
plan tile trees at Rice. In onu week
he, his brother, and two other men
planted the line of live oaks that
runs from the main entrance to the
field house, the live oaks that flank
the main drive, the oaks that circle
the Administration Bulldm#, the oaks
in the road to the Autry House, and
the line of oaks by the dorms, which
Tony calls "kitchen row." Tony says
this was not such a terrible task be-
cause the trees were "leotle" at the
time.
Planting continued until 1926. The
choice uf trees Was kept to live oaks
with only one or two exceptions. The
clump of pines at the right of the
main drive grew, according to Tony
as, "volunteer," He didn't plant them.
Tony however has borne the pines
no resentment for springing up in
the midst of his beloved oaks and
without his saV-so. Rather has he
tended them so carefully that he has
become quite fond of them.
Trees with a purpose has been
[Tony's watchword. On [the, left hand
side of Cohen House, and hidden by
high hedges, is a miniature forest.
This is the "architecture" forest
planted especially for those future
architects who use the Architecture
Building planned for this spot. Tony,
convinced of the stimulating powers
of trees and nature on the student,
pictures- the architecture woods as
being a refuge for tii'ed architects
some dai' not so many years hence.
Between; Cohen House and East
Hallj another stand of tiees has been
set out This group is J'yi' those stu-
dents who want to take a book from
the library (to stand ori that spot
when built) and sit under a tree to
read. No, sii;, he never puts a tree
down without a purpose,
In front cif South, East, and West
Hails Tony; planted a line of oaks
for boys . to enjoy when the hot
weather comes or, as he puts it, "in
spring lotta boys get tired in room
and want to sit under tree and
resta."
Having a strong sympathy for
ries of Rockwell Lectures announced
above.

Casting aside all lady-like man-
new, the Owen Winter Literary So-
ciety, paced by the classy Grace El-
len Mclntyre, swept to a hard-fought
victory over the Elizabeth Baldwin*,
1(1-14, to win the women's intramural
basketball championship. Although
the Owls were smaller than their
opponents, superior ball-hawking en-
abled them to hold their lend through-
out the game.
Emily Montgomery, E. B. forward
who starred lust week, mude her ap-
pearance lute amid heavy applause
from the gallery. But Emily appear-
ed tio be having trouble with her
hair and scored only 2 points during
the evening.
The game was featured by a near-
assault, on the referee by Carolyn
Conway. The, boy# get pretty rough
at times, but for sheer mayhem, the
girls have them beat all hollow,
Fingernail scratches and red knees
were very much in. evidence at the
end of the tilt, but the only major
casualty appeared to be Skinny Mc-
Kinney's sadie mare, female charley
horse.
Mclntyre and Frost shared scoring
honors for the night with K points
each. Yeager anol Burnllam were the
defensive stars of the melee. This
victory gives the Owls undisputed
championship .in' the girl's? basket-
ball tournament and each member
of the winning team will receive
certificates denoting championship.
In the consolation match which
followed, the PALS, finished strong
to trim the Independents, 30-28. Led
by long, lanky Dorenda Hale, who
amassed 18 points, the PALS ecored
two field-got)!* in the last minute of
play to overtake and defeat*) the
free-lancers. Cavanaugh and Ramin,
who forgot she ■ was ' a princess, each
scored 12 points to lead the Indepen-
dents, but their star wan undoubtedly
Korinek. who handled the ball like
a veteran.
The PAL coach, Mechler, got a
shock 111 the first period when his
star. Dorenda Hale, was banned from
the game for launching an attack
on Gloria Wood, but the opposition
overlooked the incident and allowed
Hale. ;to continue—to thcil- later ro-
gret. .,
These two games were wfirth tvvo-
l,iits of anybody's hirtney, for it: isn't

golf players and their arguments,
Tony set out some oaks on the sec-

Main Street which] dorm boys may
use for a golf driving, range. Tony
says this special miniature forest; is

We ended our tnu1' f.ft a serious
note. Tony confided that, his love for
his trees made him sad, in a way
because he would never' have any
children to say, "Tony planted these
trees," because his son died some
years ago. Therefore, it is his wish
that all Rice boys now and after he's
gone, should remember that he. Tony
Martino, planted those trees, and
tell their friends.
