In 1916 Roger Adams was invited by William A. Noyes (1857-1941) to come to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Over the next 38 years he mentored more than 250 graduate students. He was the editor of Organic Syntheses and had a major impact on natural products chemistry. One of his best students was Wallace Carothers. Another chemist with whom he worked was Speed Marvel. Carl was known for being eager for breakfast and the nickname stuck.

Carothers spent six years in Illinois warm and convivial atmosphere. For the first time, he was surrounded by passionately enthusiastic scientists, several of whom became staunch pillars of support in times of difficulty. Carl Speed Marvel, two years older than Carothers but already Adams right-hand man, took the new student under his wing. Marvel found... 

Adams hired Carothers to stay on as an instructor, the lowest rung on the academic ladder, for 1800 a year. Carothers class lectures were low-key and conversational, like his written articles, but his students worked overtime. When one climbed through a laboratory window on Thanksgiving Day, he found the rest of his classmates already there. Carothers, Carl Marvel, Jack Johnson, and several graduate students formed an informal seminar group to talk chemistry over bootleg beer. 

Written in his clear and supple prose, his report and the series that followed it inspired a generation of American scientists to study macromolecules. While many European chemists still doubted that polymers could be true molecules, Carl Marvel believed that in the United States, After that article, the mystery of polymer chemistry was pretty well cleared up and it was possible for less talented people to make good contributions in the field. ...

Professor Mark s story is told in three chapters by the Editor and four reminiscences by Rudolf Brill (whose association with Mark dates back to 1922), Hans Mark (his son), Linus Pauling, and Maurice Morton. The history of polymer science is given in separate chapters by the Editor, Robert Simha (who has worked with Professor Mark in two countries), and Carl Speed Marvel. One chapter by Charles Carraher gives an up to the minute report on the status of polymer education. The remainder of the book is a collection of reviews and previews of specific, timely topics in polymer science. Despite the diversity of topics, each area covered has contributions from Herman Mark.

As World War II loomed with America pushed into the war by the Pearl Harbor attack, the need for an independent rubber supply was critical. The government instituted several nationwide efforts including the Manhattan and Synthetic Rubber Projects. Carl Speed Marvel was one of the chemists involved in the Synthetic Rubber Project.
