Paulissen, 1915-1993 Dr. Leo Paulissen passed away on April 11, 1993 at Washington Regional Hospital in Fayetteville. He is survived by his wife, Rita, of Fayetteville, three sons, a daughter, two brothers, and a sister. The son of Andrew and Marie Paulissen, he was born on November 8, 1915 at Kankakee, Illinois where he attended high school. He received his B.S. withhighest honor from Bradley Polytechnic Institute in 1941 and his M.S. from the University of Chicago in 1949. His Ph.D. was completed in 1954 at Washington University in St. Louis. His professional career began as a bacteriologist and serologist at the diagnostic laboratories of the Illinois Department ofHealth in Chicago, Illinois from 1946 to 1950. He was a research assistant and later a research associate in bacteriology and immunology at Washington University between 1951 and 1954. He joined the Department of Botany and Bacteriology at the University of Arkansas as a Research Associate in 1954, advancing to the academic rank of professor in 1968, a position he held until his retirement in 1986. I first met Leo when I came to the University in 1957. I will always remember his kindness and help in finding a place to live. Ithas been a friendremember him particularly well as a hard-working colleague who was always there to help with problems concernship that has lasted for many years. I ing departmental administration, scheduling, and managing the microbiology programs. His service fro many years as Director of Summer Science Institutes sponsored by the National Science Foundation was an outstanding contribution to further training of high school science teachers and the consequent improvement in science education in Arkansas and the surrounding states. His most notable research was on the effects of ionizing radiation on cellular and humoral immunity. He continued research in bacteriology and immunology during his later years, but because of heavy teaching and administrative loads his more recent research activities speak mostly through the theses and dissertations ofhis many graduate students. Inaddition to his regular laboratory work in microbiology, Leo was an excellent field man. He was particularly interested inbutterflies and moths and made extensive collections (...truncated)
