IN MEMORIAM: WILLIAM WARD WATKIN The recent death of William Ward Watkin was a deep loss to the city of Houston and especially to Rice, for he was, as many students and ex-students knew, the embodi- ment of architecture at Rice. He came in I9I2, as the supervising architect for the new campus and when it was completed, he stayed to found and head our fine school of architecture. The measure of any man's stature is his work and Mr. Watkin's accomplishments were many. He was the guiding force in the establishment of a travelling fellowship in ar- chitecture at Rice, which now bears his name. He was the author of several books on ecclinistical ar- chitecture which are now standard reference material for architects. He was the dean of the profession of architecture in Houston, leading and inspiring the city's growth with such buildings as the Public Library and the Museum of Fine Arts. His greatest work however was his fine leadership in the educational phase of architecture which was recognized by a fellowship in the American Institute of Architects. To all of us who knew him, his friends and students, the vision, encouragement and profound wisdom of this man will always be appreciated and remembered.
