As most of you know, Paul graduated a year early, & headed to the University of Utah Physics Department to obtain his degree in astro-physics. A few months before our May, 1970 graduation, we sadly received word that Paul had died of peritonitis, from a ruptured appendix, while doing extensive research for the Physics Department.
Paul's parents, friends, fellow-researchers, & professors established the 'Paul Gilbert Memorial Prize' for outstanding undergraduate student in the Department of Physics, conducting research in astronomy or astro-physics. The recipient also receives an appointment as an undergraduate research assistant with the Cosmic Ray Research Group.
