Linus Pauling at his 90th birthday celebration in the MU Lounge
When I lived in Pensylvania and was asked at a party "where did you matriculate, my dear?" I answered that I had graduated from Oregon State University. The response: "Oh, a State school, how sad." "Oh," I said, "it was a great school; Linuse Pauling went there, you know." "No, dear, you are sadly mistaken; he would have attended something MUCH more prestigious." I related the incident to Linus Pauling when I met him and he thought it was a great story.
Dr. Darwin Reese, Teaching professor in Chemistry.
He was a dedicated instructor, interesting, tough, with a sense of humor. He did not focus on seeking grant money for research, but focused on the needs of students in his Chemistry classes. An outstanding individual both on and off campus, having been a Boy Scout leader for over 40 years. He was the recipient of several OSU awards for excellence in teaching. He made a difficult subject learnable, and out of all the instructors I had at OSU, he made the most lasting impression on me.
