In Memoriam: Charles E. Rice

Please join the Thomas Aquinas College community in praying for the repose of the soul of Charles E. Rice, professor emeritus at the University of Notre Dame Law School, who died on February 25. A Catholic legal scholar specializing in constitutional law and jurisprudence, Professor Rice published numerous articles and books on a variety of legal topics. He also hosted a television program on EWTN on the natural law.

Numerous Thomas Aquinas College graduates studied under Professor Rice at the Notre Dame Law School, and the College was blessed with his friendship from its inception. He was the College’s second Commencement Speaker and received the school’s highest honor, the Saint Thomas Aquinas Medallion, in 1976.

May his soul, and those of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace.
