Marshall and his wife Sally were much loved members of the Caltech
community
in an era when their parties might include Richard Feynman, Murray
Gell-Mann,
Frank Borman and a stellar array of other Americans.
Marshall is
especially remembered for his famous Theory of Groups
(1959). During WW II, he joined other mathematicians in
doing
classified work on cracking codes. |
