Excerpt from Soundings, 1953
In 1931 the students of the Rice Institute published a book of their poems. Right after that, the twilight of a major economic depression, and then the darkness of a world war, settled over the Rice campus. For fifteen years the creative spirit among student writers, though it never died, languished in the universal gloom. In the last few years, however, that spirit has revived and burst forth in a new growth of extraordinary vigor.
One of the astonishing things about this growth is that it has occurred in the midst of an equally vigorous growth of the scientific spirit on the campus. Perhaps it is not astonishing, either, if we think about it for a moment; perhaps this simultaneous growth in the sciences and in the humanities is just what we should expect-young minds given a favorable climate in which to grow, will grow in every direction, and will produce flower and fruit for every need.
