  Rev Jan Henricus Busch OSA
  
  Jan was born on August 26, 1924, to Arnold J and E A (Masion) Busch, in Dordrecht, The Netherlands. He attended St Antonius School in Dordrecht and then the Gymnasium Augustinianum from 1936 to 1942. He entered the novitiate of the Order of St Augustine on September 9, 1942, professed first vows on September 10, 1943, and made solemn profession on September 12, 1946. From 1942 to 1949, he studied theology at seminaries of the Dutch Province and was ordained to the priesthood on March 12, 1949, at Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
  
  After his ordination, Fr Jan studied Chemistry at Villanova College (University), from 1949 to 1952, in preparation for teaching at a secondary school to be founded by the Dutch Augustinians in Cochabamba, Bolivia. He obtained a BS degree in chemistry from Villanova College in 1952 and in 1954, an MS degree from the University of Pennsylvania. After having taught one year at Monsignor Bonner (Prendergast) High School, Fr Jan taught for four years in the Colegio San Agustin in Boliva. In 1958, he was assigned to the Universidad Catolica de Santo Tomas de Villanueva, Havana, Cuba. The Castro revolution, in January 1959, caused what was thought to be a temporary closing of the University. Then, when it was officially closed in 1961, Fr Jan left Cuba and continued his teaching career at St Augustine High School in San Diego CA. A year later, he was appointed as one of the first faculty members of Biscayne College (now St Thomas University) in Miami FL.
  
  In 1972, he was transferred to Villanova College, where, in 1975, he obtained a doctorate in chemistry. Professor Jose R de la Vega, with whom he had taught in Cuba, and who in 1961 had come to Villanova, directed his thesis entitled, Non-classical Behavior in Proton Exchange Reactions. The theme was to explain the fast rate of some reactions involving the movement of hydrogen nuclei in or between molecules.
  
  In 1975, Fr Jan joined the chemistry department at Villanova University. While teaching full time he continued to do research in the field of proton behavior, which led to publications in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. He was dedicated to this area of research and also a gifted professor. His college teaching career included chemistry, general physics, math, French and German. For many years on weekends he assisted at the parish of St Eleanor in Collegeville PA.
  
  Fr Jan, a member of the Province of Holland in The Netherlands, spent most of his religious priesthood with the Augustinians of the Province of St Thomas of Villanova. Father died on January 1, 2001, at the health care unit of St Thomas Monastery, Villanova. Fr Willem Saelman OSA, representing the provincial of Holland, presided at the Mass of the Resurrection. Interment followed at the Augustinian plot in Calvary Cemetery, West Conshohocken PA.
