iTTTTTmTllllllllllllT I9INDEX29 Br, Cfjarle Cbtoarb Jfflarstfmll FAR. CHARLES EDWARD MARSHALL was born on a farm near Port ■ — ' Clinton, Ottawa County, Ohio, on October 6th, 1866. With this beginning and with a sturdy line of ancestors back of him one might have predicted from the start that strong, reliable, forceful character which he developed. Here he grew to young manhood, working on the farm and attending the local schools until he was about eighteen years of age when he entered the State Normal School at Fredonia, New York, where he graduated in 1889. Following this he was principal of the Academy at Ellicottsville, New York, for two years and then entered the University of Michigan intending to study medicine, but after two years he be- came so much interested in bacteriology that he changed his major to that science. He graduated with the class of 189.5 with the degree of Ph.B. and received his Doctor ' s degree from that University in 1902. It is interesting but not surprising to note Dr. Marshall ' s steady professional advancement from one position to another. He was appointed Assistant in Bacteriology at the University of Michigan in 1893 and in 1899 went to the Michi- gan Experiment Station at East Lansing as Bacteriologist. In 1902 he became Professor of Bacteriology and Hygiene in the Michigan Agricultural College which position he held for ten years when he came to the Massachusetts Agricultural College as Professor of Bacteriology and Director of the Graduate School. Three times Dr. Marshall visited Europe for graduate work. In 1898 he studied at Jorgensen ' s Laboratory in Copenhagen; in 1903 at Pasteur Institute, Paris and at Ostertag ' s Laboratory, Berlin; and in 1913 at Koch Laboratory Berlin. He was among those able lieutenants whom President Kenyon L. Butterfield called to assist him in the work of developing the Massachusetts Agricultural College during the greatest period of growth which this College has ever seen, and as Director of the Graduate School he did a splendid piece of work in organizing, expanding and systematizing that part of the activities of this college. Dr. Marshall was the author of a notable text book in his special field entitled Outlines of Bacteriology and wrote many bulletins and scientific papers. He was also president of the Society of American Bacteriologists in 1914 and a mem- ber of many other scientific organizations. Dr. Marshall ' s friendly interest in all those with whom he came in contact, his high ideals, devotion to duty, and solicitude for everything which concerned the welfare of the community in which he lived endeared him to all. But to fully appreciate his character one must have tramped with him over the hills of New England, or rowed with him on Lake Sunapee, one must have played golf with him or fished with him or have sat with him of an evening in front of an open fire! It was under such circumstances as these that one learned to know a side of his character which comparatively few saw, but which all those who were privileged to see will hold in their memories as one of the choice things of this life. FRED C. SEARS. 27
