Immediately after that announcement, HMC professor and math department chairman Michael Moody leaned over to Rif's classmate, fellow math major and old friend Aaron Archer, to suggest using the scholarship money to attract more top math talent, and the Rif Hutchings Endowment was conceived. Rif liked the suggestion, so Archer ran with it. There were two fundraisers to benefit the fund in the spring of 1998. On April 11, Friedman held a large party at East dorm that included, among other events, an Indentured Servant Auction to benefit the Rif Hutchings Endowment. On the suggestion of Professor Robert Borrelli, Archer organized a wine auction to follow the shows on May 14-15.

If you wish your contribution to benefit the scholarship only and not the prize, please note that as well. Thank you in advance for your support. Back to Aaron's homepage . You are visitor number since 12 April 1998. Last modified 15 February 2000.
