Rice History Corner | Gleanings from the Rice University Archives

I was aware that Carl’s death was coming but it still hit hard. I’m not sure there will ever be another like him here–things have changed on campus in ways that probably make it impossible. The title of the Sallyport article below, published at the time of his retirement, has thus turned out to be even truer than we imagined. Do read this piece. I don’t believe I’ve seen before or since this kind of loving praise and deep gratitude from so many of our most respected leaders.I spent a lot of time with Carl and I learned a tremendous amount from him. I also have some hilarious stories because he could be a lot of fun too, especially after a couple of pints down at the Black Lab. All the things people say in the article are true: he did indeed understand and personify the spirit that animated Rice in those days, and he did combine the qualities of a police officer and a priest. And he did what he did while carrying the enormous burden of keeping the institution running. This was hard and time consuming and frequently thankless. Carl was often the maker of difficult calls, the bearer of bad new, the voice of reason in an environment that was all too frequently unreasonable, as most universities are. He was utterly trustworthy and willing to admit it when he made a mistake. I was young enough when I first met him to think that he was sometimes unduly pessimistic. More time in the archives and a bit of experience and that ended quick enough. He was, in fact, a very well-informed realist. I still hear his voice in my ear whenever big plans are announced.I will say one other thing. The day he retired he gave me one of those old timey door keys, a big iron thing, and told me all his papers were locked in a store room in the basement of Lovett Hall. They are now the Carl MacDowell Assistant to the President Papers in the Woodson, 206 boxes that cover nearly forty years of Rice’s history, an invaluable collection for understanding the real story of the place, the guts of how it ran. And also in there, if you spend enough time with all those file folders, you’ll find that Carl MacDowell frequently did good in secret. Carl MacDowell, rest in peace.sallyport-vol-56-no01-44 (1)sallyport-vol-56-no01-45Bonus: Another true thing in that article is that there are almost no pictures of him to be found. I’ve been searching and only came up with this one, taken at the groundbreaking for the Humanities Building in 1998. I love seeing these guys–that’s Hackerman, of course, at right and King Walters at left.Extra Bonus: Me and Carl, 2011.;
