Description: 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.

Description: Linus Pauling was bestowed with an honorary Doctor of Science degree at Oregon State Agricultural College in June 1933. He was an alumni of Oregon State (Class of 1922) and later in his career a two-time Nobel Prize winner (Chemistry, 1954; Peace, 1962). The 1933 commencement program stated that Pauling was "now acclaimed among the distinguished scientists of our time." Included in the photograph (left to right) are Dr. Marvin Gordon Neale, Commencement speaker; David C. Henny, honorary degree recipient; Dr. Linus C. Pauling; Dr. William J. Kerr, Chancellor of the Oregon State System of Higher Education and OSAC president from 1907-1932; and Charles A. Howard, honorary degree recipient.
