Cornell's Peter Debye, 68, Nobel Prize-winning chemist and physicist, author of the Debye theory of the specific heat of solids. Born in The Netherlands, Debye succeeded Einstein as professor of theoretical physics at the University of Zurich, served as director of Berlin's Max Planck Institute until the Nazis drove him out ("Stay at home and occupy yourself by writing a book," they told him), in 1940 finally made his way to Cornell. There, perpetually wreathed in cigar smoke, he pioneered in high polymer research, taught Cornellmen their chemistry, and each year managed to make them...
