Chemestry Professor Starts
Studies in Brussels School
By Ralph Riggs
Working with deft hands on a bewildering looking experi
ment as I entered, Dr. Pierre Jean Van Rysselberghe, professor
of chemistry, smiled agreeably when I asked if he had time for
an Emerald interview. “Certainly,” he said, as he left his experi
ment in the hands of a graduate assistant, and we entered the
office.
“Do you know,” h^34 remarked,
“I came to America with the in
tention of furthering my engineer
ing career and I switched to the
fascinating field of chemistry.”
Degrees
He removed a large bound book
from his shelf ,and. turned to the
page in which his Biography was
listed. Prof. Rysselberghe was born
in Belgium and received his edu
cation at the University of Brus
sels in Belgium. He received his
AB there in 1924. In 1927 hfe came
to the United States through the
Belgian-American foundation and
arrived at Stanford university
where he received his MA and PhD
during 1928 and 1929.
“I have been in America so long
that I feel very much at home
here,” he stated, when asked if he
felt the people of Eugene and the
University had given him a friend
ly reception. He served at Stan
ford from 29-31 as a graduate as

sistant and from 31-41 as an assis
tant professor in chemistry. In
1941 he came to Oregon and be
came an associate professor in
1942.
Liked Brussels
“The highpoint of my career
was the year of 35-36 that I spent
in Brussels, at the university
where I helped a professor pre
pare a paper of thermodynamics,”
he added. “I spent the year under
the auspices of the Belgian-Ameri
can Education foundation for
whom I was lecturing.” An inter
esting sidenote which he remark
ed upon was the fact that the
University of Brussels compared
favorably in size with the Univer
sity of Oregon. The University
closed during the war because of
the Nazi regulations, but is now
open again to the youth of Bel
gium.

charge of battalion administration
work.
In February he went back to de
molitions work, training for the
Iwo jima campaign. He was pla
toon sergeant of an engineers as
sault platoon when they went on
the beach.
Iwo Flag Raising
‘‘I was offshore during the flag
raising, but we all saw it go up,
and there was a lot of cheering,”
he said.
He also remarked that there was
so much fire power on the island
that it seemed that Iwo was com
ing apart. Leonard’s feet became
infected with jungle rot, and he
was evacuated to Guam in March.
After 27 months overseas, the
good-looking journalism major
was returned to the States on ro
tation. Enroute to San Diego,
Turnbull first saw Oregon and de
cided that he wanted to return. He
spent a 30-day furlough with his
family in Graniteville, South Caro
lina, then returned to San Diego
