For their inaugural presentation in the freshmen-sponsored Millennium Lectures, CSM students wanted a scientist who had changed the world. Dr. Kary Mullis accepted their invitation to speak at 7 p.m., April 11, in the School's Green Center. Without Mullis, the human genome project would not be possible. He did, indeed, change the world. The lecture begins a Mines tradition, in which the freshman class organizes a lecture, for undergraduates, by a distinguished member of the technological community who will speak about the experience of being a scientist or engineer.
