"University of Birmingham. Charles Lapworth, undertook pioneering work into the formation of mountain belts, 1882-1883"
He also went crazy doing so.
The Earth Sciences student society is named LapSoc (Lapworth Society) in his honour, though this is routinely changed with some sort of pun for their socials (Lashworth, Lapizza, Lapsausage etc.) The Museum is also named after him.
This plaque can be seen on the wall of the Lapworth Museum of Geology at the University of Birmingham, main campus.
