Biography

Pauline was born in 1911 to Mirabeau Nutter and Lizzie Hogg in Shelton, Nebraska.

Pauline earned her B.Ed. from Kearney State Teachers College. In 1934, she earned her M.S. "with distinction" from the University of Arizona under the direction of Dr. Lila Sands, the University of Nebraska’s first woman to earn a PhD. In 1938, Pauline earned her Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Rochester.

In 1938, Pauline took a position in the department of food economics and nutrition at Kansas State College in Manhattan, Kansas. This must be where she met Thomas Doryland because his family was living here.

In 1941, Pauline took a teaching position at Utah State College in Logan, Utah.

In 1942, Pauline married Thomas Doryland in Shelton, Nebraska.

In 1945, Pauline joined the University of Nebraska Department as an Instructor. In 1951, she was promoted to Assistant Professor. In 1966, she was promoted to Associate Professor. In her later years, her office was located on East Campus because she taught two courses per semester there. In the mid-70’s, her office was moved to Hamilton Hall when the East campus Chemistry labs were shut down.

In 1976, Pauline retired and helped her husband in his crop-spraying company.

In 1980, Pauline passed away in Lincoln.
