Abstract :
A MEMORIAL tablet to Calvin W. Rice (A´97, F´12) secretary of The American Society of Mechanical Engineers from 1906 until his death in 1934, was placed in the lobby of the Engineering Societies Building on December 2, 1940, during the ASME annual meeting. The tablet, which was prepared by United Engineering Trustees, Inc., was first unveiled at the 1937 annual meeting of the ASME. Since a rule of the Trustees forbids placing a memorial in the building until the individual commemorated has been dead five years, the tablet remained for the intervening time in the custody of the ASME.
