Linus Carl Pauling (1901-1994) graduated from Oregon Agricultural College in 1922 with a degree in Chemical Engineering. A giant of twentieth century science and a peace activist of international consequence, Pauling is Oregon State's most famous alumnus. He remains history's only recipient of two unshared Nobel Prizes (Chemistry, 1954; Peace, 1962). Paul Hugh Emmett (1900-1985), a friend and colleague of Pauling's, also graduated from OAC in 1922. A major figure in the history of catalysis chemistry, Emmett was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1955 and worked at a handful of institutions, including The Johns Hopkins University, where he chaired the Chemical Engineering Department until his retirement in 1971. Claude F. Palmer, also a graduate with the Class of 1922, was a past president of both the OSC Alumni Association and the OSC Foundation. Lynn P. Sabin, Class of 1920, was a former president of the OSC Alumni Association.

Schubert earned his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Oregon State College in 1950 and 1956. He worked first as a Research Assistant and later as Assistant Chemist in the Agricultural Chemistry Department from 1951 until his resignation in 1963. Schubert left OSU to accept employment with the Public Health Service.
