I bookend my time at Christendom with my two semesters under Dr. Rice, once as a freshman and once as a senior. Our class periods discussing Dante and Shakespeare will always be among favorite college memories. His enthusiasm for literature and his willingness to help students read and write has inspired me more than words can say (not easy for an English major to admit!). Thank you so much for enriching our minds and our lives, Dr. Rice! -Cate Thomas
When I was experiencing financial difficulties, Dr. Rice had the kindness to provide some extra work for me off campus - it included vacuuming and dusting his library. He sure had a LOT of books! Thank you, Dr. Rice, for helping me to finish those 4 wonderful years at Christendom. -Mary Claire (Almeter) Hayes ‘97 Thank you, Robert, for your many, many tireless trailblazing years here at Christendom and for your dedication to and love for the students throughout that time. And for letting me stand up in class if I got drowsy after lunch during Early Christian Literature class. -Walter Janaro
