Harold Randolph Rice (May 22, 1912 – July 10, 1987) was an American educator and magic dealer.
Local magicians persuaded him to make a colored square of silk for them and became a magic dealer.
In 1934 he proposed the forming of a magic dealers association to help with problems such as protecting the rights of those who invented or marketed new effects.
In 1946 he left Alabama to become the dean of the Moore Institute of Art, Science, and Industry, in Philadelphia and in 1951 was promoted to president.
[citation needed] In 1963 Rice returned to his alma mater, the University of Cincinnati, where he became the dean of the College of Design, Architecture, and Art (DAA).
