Halbouty endows
largest chair ever
from an individual
University News Service
Michel T. Halbouty is now the do
nor of the largest individually en
dowed academic chair at Texas
A&M, with the announcement that
he has increased his endowment in
geology to $ 1.1 million.
The Michel T. Halbouty Chair,
originally endowed in 1981 with
$500,000 from the internationally
prominent Houston earth scientist
and engineer, is held by Dr. Robert
R. Berg, widely acclaimed geologist
and former president of the Ameri
can Institute of Professional Geolog
ists. The announcement of Halbou-
ty’s new gift came during the
dedication of a $7.1 million expan
sion of the Michel T. Halbouty Geos
ciences Building.
“The increase in the chair to $1.1
million identified it as one of the
most outstanding chairs in geology
in the United States,” Halbouty said.
“And it will afford Texas A&M the
opportunity for expanded geologi
cal research. It will also assist the
College of Geosciences to maintain
its standard of excellence.”
Halbouty is a 1930 graduate of
Texas A&M and has been desig
nated one of the University’s distin
guished alumni.
Jack M. Rains, president of 3/D
International and a 1960 Texas
A&M graduate, said he first heard
of Halbouty in the 1950s when he
arrived at Texas A&M.
“He was a legend then and has al
ways been one of my heroes,” Rains
said.
Rains told a story of Halbouty’s
first days at Texas A&M as a fresh
man when he was $50 short of funds
to register:
“He kept hearing everybody say
‘Prexy Walton did this and Prexy
Walton does that,’ so Halbouty de
cided to find this person to see if he
could help. Not knowing thdt ‘Prexy’
was a nickname for, president, Hal
bouty went to Prexy Walton’s secre-

tary and told her his story. President
Walton heird the young man and
ended up lending Halbouty the $50
out of his pocket.
“I submit that was the best invest
ment Texas A&M ever made,” Rains
said.
Halbouty earned his bachelor’s
and master’s degrees in engineering
at Texas A&M before earning a doc
torate of engineering from Montana
College of Mineral Science and
Technology. A staunch supporter of
his alma mater since graduation,
Halbouty’s generosity includes the
giving of two scholarships in geology
and petroleum engineering each
year for more than 35 years and the
funding of a President’s Endowed
Scholarship.
Halbouty has received numerous
honors including the Hoover Medal
for engineering excellence and pub
lic service from the American Asso
ciation of Engineering Societies, the
Geosciences and Earth Resources
Medal for Distinguished Achieve
ment and the American Association
of Petroleum Geologists’ President’s
Award for his special publication,
“Giant Oiland Gas Fields of the De
cade 1968-1978.”
He has presented his personal pa
pers, reflecting an illustrious career
and involvement in worldwide en
ergy matters, to Texas A&M’s Ster
ling C. Evans Library.
“Mike’s love for Texas A&M be
gan as a student on campus and has
grown every year since,” said Dr.
Robert Walker, vice presidnt for de
velopment. “He is very generous
with his time and his resources and
his interest in anything for the good
of Texas A&M.”
Dean Mel Friedman said that with
the new 40,000-souare-foot Hal
bouty addition and tne renovation of
the older wing, the College of Geos
ciences at Texas A&M will have fa
cilities for teaching and research that
are second to none in the nation.
