Rice rises to top 50

By Katherine Hsu

London's Times Higher Education magazine's newly released university rankings place Rice among the top 50 universities in the world, a marked increase from last year's rank at 100th place. Rice is the only university in Texas to appear on the Times Higher Education's list of top 200 schools worldwide, and is ranked 29th among the 81 universities on the list from the United States and Canada. "The top 200 universities in the world represent only a tiny fraction of world higher education and any institution that makes it into this table is truly world-class," Ann Mroz, editor of Times Higher Education, said. "Being ranked 47 in the world's top 200 is an impressive achievement."

Transfer system set

By Katherine Hsu

Students should keep a close eye on their mailboxes in the coming weeks, as offers to transfer to the new residential colleges will soon be sent. Though Duncan College and McMurtry College opened their doors in August to a new freshman class, they are also housing members from Baker College and Will Rice College. Next fall, however, Baker and Will Rice will move back to their renovated colleges on the south side of campus, and Duncan and McMurtry will boast a new upperclassman population.
