The Mission of the William Birkett Williams Memorial Lecture Fund

The William Birkett Williams Memorial Lecture Fund was established by William B. Williams to serve as a memorial to their son, 1st Lt. William Birkett Williams, a fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force, lost in action in Libya on January 11, 1943. The fund provides the income to be used for free lectures on any subject of general interest, whether cultural, scientific, civic or political, but not overtly religious. The speakers should be of national or international reputation who would be of interest to the larger community. The Fund will be utilized by the William Birkett Williams Committee to fulfill this mission.
