Thomas A. Mutch Lecture Series: The Thomas "Tim" Mutch Memorial Fund was established in '81 by his family and friends, to honor Tim's memory as a scholar, GeoSci teacher, explorer, author, and administrator. The purpose of the fund is to honor those who have shown intel-lectual courage and resolve in exploring important areas of the Solar System, and to bring them to Brown to share their results.
