James Caddall Morehead Jr. ’35

Bud was born in Bradenton, Fla., Oct. 29, 1913, and died in Houston on July 4, 1999. He prepared for Princeton at Schenley H.S., in Pittsburgh, where he played on the tennis team, in its orchestra, served on its publications board, and was a member of both the Debating and Language Clubs. At Princeton, he majored in mathematics, receiving second group honors, played on the class hockey team, was a member of the choir and Key & Seal. After Princeton, he returned to Pittsburgh, where he received a degree in architecture in 1939. He then moved on to teach architecture at Rice U. until he retired in 1979.

He spent four years in the Army during WWII, when he "visited" Guadalcanal, Bougainville, Leyte, and Luzon, emerging with the rank of lt.-col., field artillery.

Bud then returned to Houston, where he became Rice's registrar as well as a professor, rising to the position of dean of the architecture school. He also wrote several books and found time to indulge a lifelong love for music with a 40-year membership in Houston's St. Francis Episcopal Church Choir. His wife of 58 years, the former Martha P. (Pats) Netting, survives Bud, as do two sons, James C. III and Kenneth F., a daughter, Naomi M. Kryske, five grandsons, and an older brother, Clayton W. '32.
