Alumni Association to honor Kirkland, Moore at Homecoming dinner
Two longtime supporters of
Rice and twenty retired faculty
will be honored at the opening
dinner of Homecoming 1977,
Friday, October 28, in the RMC
Grand Hall.
William A. Kirkland, trustee
emeritus and former Chairman
of the Board of Houston's First
City National Bank, will receive
the Gold Medal of the Associa-
tion of Rice Alumni.
Stanley C. Moore, of Midland,
Texas, chairman emeritus of
Smith International, Inc., and a
1937 graduate, will receive the
Outstanding Engineer Award of
the Rice Engineering Alumni.
This organization ensures contin-
uing contact between Rice gra-
duates and the faculty and stud-
ents of the University's George
R. Brown School of Engineering.
Kirkland was chosen for the
Alumni Gold Medal honor in re-
cognition of his 19 years of ac-
tive service to Rice University.
H. Malcolm Lovett, trustee
emeritus of the Rice Board of
Governors, will present the
Gold Medal to Kirkland. A na-
tive Houstonian who joined the
Navy in both World Wars, Kirk-
land was appointed to the Rice
governing body in 1946 and
helped lead the University
through its major postwar ex-
pansion of student body, facul-
ty, and physical plant.
In addition to his four decades
in banking, much of KirklancTs
civic interest has centered on
education, including three
on the board of the Houston
Independent School District,
1927-33, and service as trustee
of his alma mater, Princeton
University, and as regent of the
University of the South, Se-
wanee, Tennessee.
Moore will receive the Out-
standing Engineer Award from
Joseph F. Reilly, Jr., '48, presi-
dent of the Rice Engineering
Alumni Board of Directors.
Reilly said that Moore was
honored "for his outstanding
and pioneering contributions to
oil tool engineering, and his long
years of devoted service to the
ideals and goals of Rice's engin-
eering education and tradition."
Moore is a member of the Rice
Associates and a former chair-
man of the Rice University Fund
Council. In 1973 he became a
term-member of Rice's board of
governors and serves currently as
a governor-advisor. He started
his business career in 1937 with
Hughes Tool Co. in Houston,
advancing to assistant to the
president of his own firm - Drill
Collar Service Co. of Midland.
In 1953 Moore established and
became president of Midland's
Drilco Oil Tools, Inc. with a to-
tal of 46 employees. In 1967
that firm merged with what is
now Smith International of
Newport Beach, California.
