Rice scholars impress
The Thresher would like to commend three graduating seniors, Will Rice College seniors Ye jin Kang and Anthony Austin and Sid Richardson College senior Jingyuan Luo, for achieving an array of academic honors never received by one graduating class (see story, page 8). For Rice to have two Marshall Scholars and one Rhodes Scholar in the same year is a testament to Rice's academic prestige, and these three students have certainly made this university and its students proud. They have bettered Rice in their time here and the Thresher wishes them the very best going into the future.
