A Houston billionaire has announced that he will donate $35 million to
Texas A&M University to help build two physics facilities.
George Mitchell said he hopes his donation will help boost the College

will go toward building the George P. and Cynthia W. Mitchell Institute
for Fundamental Phases and Astronomy, and the George P. Mitchell ‘40
