Tributes to Professor Bill Mead
18 December 2014
Professor Bill Mead was President of the Society from the year 2000 until 2008, but had been an active member for very much longer. He died on 20 July this year.
Now the Geography Department his university, University College London, have put on-line the series of tributes that were made at the Royal Geographical Society's Memorial Event for Professor Mead at the end of October.
Go to Tributes to Professor Bill Mead to read the tributes by the Ambassador of Finland, six fellow academics, the former headmaster of Aylesbury Grammar School, and his great friend Bill Willett.
A brief tribute appeared in the Society's Autumn Newsletter. A longer appreciation of Professor Mead's life and achievements will appear in the 2015 edition of Records of Buckinghamshire.
