This fund was established in 1945 to promote “scientific, literary, educational or historical research and publication related to mountaineering, geology or geography.” The Trustees of the fund arc Christine L. Orcutt, Weldon F. Heald and Joel E. Fisher.

The American Alpine Journal (Vol. 6, No. 3, 1947, p. 328–43) publishes projects of research under this scheme on Forbes’ Bands (J. E. Fisher), a survey of Palisade Glacier, Sierra Nevada (W. F. Heald), and a report on Alaskan glacier studies in 1946 (Maynard M. Miller).

The fund should result in much valuable research and pioneer work, particularly perhaps in glacier and glacial morphological studies.
