Renke Gustav Lubben was born on March 7, 1898, at Utica, Nebraska. His
family moved to Jackson County, Texas, and he entered the University of Texas
in 1916. He there received his B.A. in 1921 and his Ph.D. in 1925; he was R.L.
Moore's second Texas doctoral student. Lubben remained at the University of
Texas at Austin for his whole career. He taught courses in advanced geometry,
advanced algebra, analytic geometry, and trigonometry. His research was in
point-set topology and foundations of geometry. He died in 1980.

in.), including files of course outlines, teaching notes, and examinations for
several courses. There are also many photographs of R.L. Moore and his
students, chiefly from the early 1930s (2 in.).
