Just for your information, if I felt like it I could post pictures of Rice alumni crowding buffet tables every day for a solid year. Maybe more. Maybe two.

    I see deviled eggs, but no shrimp. I wonder what the dark stuff is in the decoratively-cut grapefruit shells? And where is this at Rice?

      Boy, I don’t know what that stuff is! Looking more closely at the table it occurs to me that
      although the scene of people at the buffet table doesn’t change much over time, the food on the table really does.

    It’s in Cohen House, the part that was originally an outdoor patio.

    The next question is “When was this picture taken?” Based on their style of dress and eyeware, I’m going to guess between 1966 and 1969.
