Like his friend Professor Linus Carl Pauling of California Institute of Technology, chosen last year as U. S. Chemistry's brightest. Dr. Rice, who also studied at Caltech, is prodigious in his application of physical theories to chemical problems. His special work has been interpreting reactions between gases by means of quantum mechanics...

At Oregon State Agricultural College where he won his B.S. degree at 21 (no early age) he was a promising, gangling youth always browsing in the chemistry and physics laboratories. Three years later he was a California Institute of Technology Ph.D., no easy distinction under the strict driving of Professor Arthur Amos Noyes, director of Caltech's Gates Chemical Laboratory. Director Noyes kept the brilliant young...
