Gordon Thomas Whyburn (1904-1969) attended the University of Texas at
Austin, obtaining Bachelors and Masters Degrees from the Department of
Chemistry. He earned his Ph. D. in Mathematics in 1927 and became adjunct
professor of mathematics from 1927 to 1929. Whyburn studied in Europe with Hans
Hahn, Kazimerz Kuratowski, and Waclaw Sierpinski before being appointed
associate professor of mathematics at Johns Hopkins University in 1930. In
1934, he accepted appointment as professor and chairman of the Department of
Mathematics at the University of Virginia, where he stayed for the remainder of
his career. He researched topology, cyclic elements, the structure of continua,
homology theory, and examined different notions of convergents in the space of
all subsets of a compact metric space.
