[http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Haas Otto Haas (Paläontologe)] had a law degree obtained to satisfy his father (it would be "useful") and a Ph.D. in geology/paleology. After emigration to the U.S. in late 1939, by way of London and the British Museum, he worked at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
Reno obituary appeared in the ''Reno Evening Gazette'', Reno, Nevada, Dec 22 1976: "Otto Haas, emeritus professor of paleontology in the University of Nevada's Mackay School of Mines died Tuesday in a Reno hospital..."
