第一篇：莱斯大学校园生活
www.xiexiebang.com
莱斯大学（Rice University），1891年由德克萨斯州棉花巨富威廉·马歇尔·莱斯William Marshall Rice创建的莱斯大学（Rice University），位于美国南方宁静的得克萨斯州休斯敦市郊，为美国南方最高学府，离市中心仅三英里车程。莱斯大学曾与其它两所，北卡罗来纳州的杜克大学、弗吉尼亚州的弗吉尼亚大学齐名，号称为南方哈佛The Harvard of the South。一直以来，莱斯大学在权威的《美国新闻与世界报道》全美综合大学排名中名列前20位，在最新的2015-2016年《美国新闻与世界报告》排名为第18名。
立思辰留学360介绍，在《普林斯顿评论》2007年大学排名中，莱斯在“最佳生活质量”中排名第一，“众多比赛/课堂互动”的大学中位列第一。莱斯大学在“最佳价值”私立大学中位列第一。因其高质量的教育和不断取得的国际学术成就,而与斯坦福大学，加州理工学院，麻省理工学院等25所高校被称为“新常春藤”院校，受到越来越多的学生的青睐。
莱斯大学是发现碳60（“富勒烯”或称“足球碳”）的地方，学校的理察·斯莫利(Richard Smalley)和罗伯特·柯尔(Robert Curl)教授并因此获得了1996年度诺贝尔化学奖。这个发现很大程度上被认为是现代纳米科学兴起的起源，之后莱斯大学在C60衍伸出来的纳米材料领域引领着世界的潮流。
校园生活
住宿
因为莱斯先生不赞成校园内有太多的“精英倾向”，因此兄弟会、姐妹会这类组织都被禁止。学生社交的中心是校园内的8个住宿制学院，每个学院里有大约225个学生，学生间关系亲密，对自己的学院认同感很强。宿舍一般不错，既大又现代化.但因为住房不够，学校用抽签的方式来决定给谁分配住房。每年有25%的学生在校外较为便宜的地区自己解决住宿问题。

餐饮
在莱斯大学的主页上有一幅“Dining Map”，清楚的标记出了学校内各个食堂、餐厅和咖啡馆的位置，十分方便。总的来说学校提供的食物还是非常不错的，各种口味都有，价钱也比较适中。
校园活动
在大多数高校，“大学”，是指整个机构，本科课程，或到一个特定的学术分工。而在Rice大学，“大学”是一种生活方式。Rice的住宿学院制度的核心在于在每一个大学本科的经验。Rice大学拥有公共艺术。Rice公共艺术的目的产生于与艺术相遇。通过进校园景观及室内空间，结合现场具体工作，该计划旨在挑战和激励社会从非常规的和潜在的变革观点想象其工作和生活。Rice公共艺术作品与牧羊人音乐学院，VADA（视觉和话剧艺术系），HRC（人文研究中心），和学生组织艺术实验室合作。学生校园生活的更多环节在于饮食，钱，电脑，停车场和交通，人身安全，医疗信息和酒精政策。
第二篇：肯尼迪在莱斯大学演讲范文
President Pitzer, Mr.Vice President, Governor, Congressman Thomas, Senator Wiley, and Congressman Miller, Mr.Webb, Mr.Bell, scientists, distinguished guests, and ladies and gentlemen:
I appreciate your president having made me an honorary visiting professor, and I will assure you that my first lecture will be very brief.I am delighted to be here and I'm particularly delighted to be here on this occasion.We meet at a college noted for knowledge, in a city noted for progress, in a State noted for strength, and we stand in need of all three, for we meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both knowledge and ignorance.The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.Despite the striking fact that most of the scientists that the world has ever known are alive and working today, despite the fact that this Nation’s own scientific manpower is doubling every 12 years in a rate of growth more than three times that of our population as a whole, despite that, the vast stretches of the unknown and the unanswered and the unfinished still far outstrip [aut'strip] v.[T] 追过，胜过，凌驾our collective comprehension.No man can fully grasp how far and how fast we have come, but condense [kən'dens] v.[T] 1.压缩；浓缩 2.聚集（光线）3.缩短，减缩（文章等）4.使冷凝，使凝结

Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?
We choose to go to the moon.We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.It is for these reasons that I regard the decision last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important decisions that will be made during my incumbency in the office of the Presidency.In the last 24 hours we have seen facilities now being created for the greatest and most complex exploration in man's history.We have felt the ground shake and the air shattered by the testing of a Saturn C-1 booster rocket, many times as powerful as the Atlas which launched John Glenn, generating power equivalent to 10,000 automobiles with their accelerators on the floor.We have seen the site where five F-1 rocket engines, each one as powerful as all eight engines of the Saturn combined, will be clustered together to make the advanced Saturn missile, assembled in a new building to be built at Cape Canaveral as tall as a 48 story structure, as wide as a city block, and as long as two lengths of this field.Within these last 19 months at least 45 satellites have circled the earth.Some 40 of them were “made in the United States of America” and they were far more sophisticated and supplied far more knowledge to the people of the world than those of the Soviet Union.The Mariner spacecraft now on its way to Venus is the most intricate instrument in the history of space science.The accuracy of that shot is comparable to firing a missile from Cape Canaveral and dropping it in this stadium between the the 40-yard lines.Transit satellites are helping our ships at sea to steer a safer course.Tiros satellites have given us unprecedented warnings of hurricanes and storms, and will do the same for forest fires and icebergs.We have had our failures, but so have others, even if they do not admit them.And they may be less public.To be sure, we are behind, and will be behind for some time in manned flight.But we do not intend to stay behind, and in this decade, we shall make up and move ahead.The growth of our science and education will be enriched by new knowledge of our universe and environment, by new techniques of learning and mapping and observation, by new tools and computers for industry, medicine, the home as well as the school.Technical institutions, such as Rice, will reap the harvest of these gains.And finally, the space effort itself, while still in its infancy, has already created a great number of new companies, and tens of thousands of new jobs.Space and related industries are generating new demands in investment and skilled personnel, and this city and this State, and this region, will share greatly in this growth.What was once the furthest outpost on the old frontier of the West will be the furthest outpost on the new frontier of science and space.Houston, your City of Houston, with its Manned Spacecraft Center, will become the heart of a large scientific and engineering community.During the next 5 years the National Aeronautics and Space Administration expects to double the number of scientists and engineers in this area, to increase its outlays for salaries and expenses to $60 million a year;to invest some $200 million in plant and laboratory facilities;and to direct or contract for new space efforts over $1 billion from this Center in this City.To be sure, all this costs us all a good deal of money.This year¹s space budget is three times what it was in January 1961, and it is greater than the space budget of the previous eight years combined.That budget now stands at $5,400 million a year--a staggering sum, though somewhat less than we pay for cigarettes and cigars every year.Space expenditures will soon rise some more, from 40 cents per person per week to more than 50 cents a week for every man, woman and child in the United Stated, for we have given this program a high national priority--even though I realize that this is in some measure an act of faith and vision, for we do not now know what benefits await us.But if I were to say, my fellow citizens, that we shall send to the moon, 240,000 miles away from the control station in Houston, a giant rocket more than 300 feet tall, the length of this football field, made of new metal alloys, some of which have not yet been invented, capable of standing heat and stresses several times more than have ever been experienced, fitted together with a precision better than the finest watch, carrying all the equipment needed for propulsion, guidance, control, communications, food and survival, on an untried mission, to an unknown celestial body, and then return it safely to earth, re-entering the atmosphere at speeds of over 25,000 miles per hour, causing heat about half that of the temperature of the sun--almost as hot as it is here today--and do all this, and do it right, and do it first before this decade is out--then we must be bold.I'm the one who is doing all the work, so we just want you to stay cool for a minute.[laughter]
However, I think we're going to do it, and I think that we must pay what needs to be paid.I don't think we ought to waste any money, but I think we ought to do the job.And this will be done in the decade of the sixties.It may be done while some of you are still here at school at this college and university.It will be done during the term of office of some of the people who sit here on this platform.But it will be done.And it will be done before the end of this decade.I am delighted that this university is playing a part in putting a man on the moon as part of a great national effort of the United States of America.Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it.He said, “Because it is there.”
Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it, and the moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there.And, therefore, as we set sail we ask God's blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked.Thank you.
