Friends of the Department of Mathematics
Ralph and Jean Storm
On April 27, 1974, Ralph and Jean Storm officially signed Howard Rolf’s (longtime chair of the Baylor mathematics department from 1971–1997) document and made the donation that partly funded the establishment of a Chair in Mathematics. This official start of the Storm Chair was announced in the Baylor Report from May–June, 1974. From speaking with senior members in the department, it is quite clear to them that Howard Rolf had a lot more to do with the creation of the Storm Chair than his modesty and understated demeanor permits him to admit.
