The De Lange Conferences are made possible by an endowment
established at Rice University by C. M. and Demaris Hudspeth in memory
of the parents of Demaris, Albert and Demaris De Lange.
Albert De Lange (1892-1963) was an outstanding civil trial attorney who
practiced law for 47 years, primarily in the Houston/Galveston area. He also
was very active in Masonry and served as the Grand Master of Texas Masons in
1950. Demaris Crowley De Lange (1895-1970) was a loving and supportive wife,
mother and grandmother and diligently participated in church and
neighborhood activities. The De Langes met in Sherman, Texas, and were
married there in 1917. They had one daughter, whom they named Demaris and
who was born in Galveston in 1920.
