He studied at Wesleyan University, where he was a member of the Eclectic Society and Phi Beta Kappa. While a student, he wrote an English essay on Robert Louis Stevenson.[1] He was the recipient of the Peirce Prize in Natural Science in 1909. At his graduation in 1910, he delivered a speech on "Universal Peace." Some of his words were printed in The Boston Globe:
Man is a fighting animal, but he is also a child of the eternal God. As the ages have gone by, man has shown less of his animal nature and more of his divine kinship. But we are still continuing practices as nations which we have long outgrown as individuals. At present there is an increasing feeling against war. If universal peace ever comes, it will be as a result of international arbitration and limitation of armaments. In such a movement, some great nation must take the lead and in this particular movement no nation is better fitted or as well fitted to take the lead as the United States.[2]
Rice was a reference assistant in the Ohio State University Library from 1911-1913. During this time, he helped move the a library from Orton Hall into a new building. He was a delegate for Wesleyan at the first annual conference of the Association of Alumni Secretaries at Ohio State University in 1913.
He served in the United States Army during WWI, rising from Private to Second Lieutenant. He enlisted on November 20, 1917 at Fort Slocum. He was discharged on September 12, 1918 in order to accept a commission as an officer. He was also stationed at Madison Barracks ROTC Camp. He served in the Quartermaster Corps at Camp Meigs, Washington, D.C.

He gave a report at the 1924 ALA Annual Meeting in Saratoga Springs, New York, entitled "The Cost of Cataloging; a plan for an investigation."[5]

In fall 1931, Rice visited 43 large university, public, and reference libraries throughout the East Coast and Midwest as liaison for a special ALA committee examining cataloging and the systems at the Library of Congress.[6]
In 1934, he gave a talk on the value of the public library for the Piqua Lions Club at the Congregational Christian Church in Piqua, Ohio.[10]
He also corresponded with W. E. B. Dubois regarding his magazine, The Crisis.[11] He was posthumously elected into the Ohio Library Council Hall of Fame in 1980.[12]
In 1948, Rice told Marj Heyduck "I voice the pious hope that Dayton will someday vote a new library." This was something that he had been recruited to do but had not been possible during his tenure. He remarked that while he was unable to build the library, "I went out there with a wife and no children. And left with a wife and four children!"[13]
New York University Libraries
Rice returned to New York to serve as the first Director of the New York University Libraries in 1936.[3] This included the libraries at University Heights and Washington Square, along with NYU's Medical, Dental, Commerce, Wall Street Division libraries.[3] At the time, there were 500,000 volumes in the university system.[14]
Rice wrote a history of the Eclectic Society for its centennial in 1937.
Rice played an active role in the 1937 Annual Conference of the American Library Association in New York City. He was chairman of the Library Buildings Round table and the Salaries, Staff and Service Committee, and co-chairman of a round table of College Librarians.[15]
Rice was appointed by New York Governor Herbert H. Lehman to serve as a delegate at the Annual Conference of the American Library Association in Kansas City, Missouri in 1938.
During the war, Rice corresponded with novelist Frederic Dannay, creator of the Ellery Queen pseudonym. He also corresponded with an Italian prisoner of war, held in New York, who requested the text of the Geneva Convention.
In 1944, Rice wrote to Robert M. Lester, Secretary of the Carnegie Corporation in regards to a request about a book supposedly published by Joel Augustus Rogers in 1927. Rice's investigation found no indication that the book was published in 1927; it had only been mentioned in Rogers' entry in "Who's Who in Colored America."[23]
In 1946, Rice was involved in a national committee purchasing books from Germany, many of which would end up at the New York Public Library.[24] He bought $275,000 worth of dollars worth of books from Europe and Asia in 1946.[25]
In 1947, he wrote an article entitled "Has the Association of Research Libraries Proved Worth While?"[26] He also attended the American Library Association Conference in Chicago, and apparently an event in Dayton in that year.
In 1948, Rice received 34 Admiralty charts of the U.S. East Coast at the time of the American Revolution, presented by the British Consul General in New York, Sir Francis Evans.[27] Also in 1948, he was a guest of honor at the annual meeting of the Poetry Society of America.

Also in 1951, the Women's Division of Christian Service of the Methodist Church presented Rice with the book, States' Laws on Race and Color, edited by Pauli Murray. He commented that "the best thing about the book was that it would soon become out-of-date, as forward strides were being made very rapidly in race relations legislation."[30]
He is listed as having attended the dedication of the new library at the University of Iowa in 1952.
Also in 1952, Rice was one of five original members of the Alumni Advisory Committee of the Columbia University School of Library Service. The Columbia School of Library Service was the continuation of the New York State Library School at Albany.[32]
Rice also corresponded with accused spy Philip Keeney, expressing disapproval of his actions. He wrote "I have no sympathy with any censorship of books in a college library which stress a different point of view than that of the administration, but neither have I sympathy, and I assume that with this you will concur, with using a college library for propaganda (Sic)."[33]
He supported the efforts of UNESCO. In a speech as President of the ALA, Rice spoke of the role of libraries in a Cold War context: "our libraries are one force that assures that the United States can never succumb to fascism or any other kind of totalitarianism, we should do everything we can to influence UNESCO to stimulate such libraries everywhere."[34][35] He was described by The New York Times as a "Foe of Censorship due to his defense of intellectual freedom during the Cold War."[16]
After retiring from the New York Public Library, he served as the Caleb T. Winchester Librarian and Director of the Wesleyan University Library from 1953 to 1956, and in the latter year was elected librarian-emeritus.[37][38]

He was active in the First Methodist Church, Middletown and the Middletown Rotary Club.
In 1957, Rice gave the principal speech at the dedication of the new Hartford Public Library Building. He discussed the development of library science as largely an American institution. He went on to say;
Freedom is a dangerous way of life, but fortunately it is the way we live in the United States and public libraries must indeed help maintain it...Our citizens should not only know what they believe but why they believe it. Ideas can be dangerous, but suppression of ideas is fatal to a free society...Banned books of yesterday are sometimes classics of today.[39]
He served as a trustee of the Russell Library in Middletown from 1954-1964.[16]
In 1960, Rice participated in a Civil Rights fundraising drive led by Wesleyan students on Main Street in Middletown. The Hartford Courant wrote, "Students marched down the hill from the campus to Main Street where they lined a five-block area. About 20 faculty members including 72-year-old Paul North Rice, retired University librarian and a few co-eds from neighboring colleges joined the drive."[40]
He was the editor of the 9th edition of the Wesleyan University Alumni Record, 1961.[41]
