DR. MILTON RICE, Physician-Civic Leader. Establishment of the Associated 
Chambers of Commerce of Hawaii in 1923 marked the fruition of an idea and the 
efforts of Dr. Milton Rice, who, as president of the Chamber of Commerce of 
Hilo, first realized and advocated the advantages accruing from an association 
of the chambers of all the islands. Recognition of Dr. Rice’s foresight and 
endeavors was given when he was elected the first president of the Associated 
Chambers for the 1923-1924 term.
  Born in Washington county, Wis., Feb. 24, 1864, he is the son of Philip and 
Elizabeth (Gross) Rice. His medical education was obtained at the Hering 
Medical Colleges, Chicago, from which he was graduated in 1895 with the degree 
of M.D.
  Dr. Rice entered practise at Cedar Rapids, Ia., in 1895 and came to Hawaii 
in 1899. After practising at Hilo from 1899 to 1905, he went to the mainland, 
locating at Milwaukee, Wis., until 1913, when he returned to Hawaii to make 
his home in Hilo, where he is county physician for the island of Hawaii. He 
has written many professional papers for medical journals and was a member of 
the Medical Examining Board, Wisconsin, 1912-1913.
  Dr. Rice has been president of the Hilo Chamber of Commerce for five years 
and is now its vice president and manager; president, Associated Chambers of 
Commerce of Hawaii; president, Hawaii County Fair association; president, 
trustees, Hoolulu park, Hilo; president, board of trustees, Hilo Public 
library and member of the American Institution of Homeopathy. In April, 1925, 
Governor W. R. Farrington appointed Dr. Rice a member of the Fleet 
Entertainment Commission, representing the Island of Hawaii.
  Dr. Rice married Laura Cone, June 11, 1885, at Marion, Iowa, and they have 
four children, Mildred, Paul, Frederick and Robert Rice.
