Lise Meitner grew up in the Vienna of Emperor Franz-Josef and horsedrawn trolley cars. She was born there in 1878 into a well-to-do Jewish family and decided at an early age that she wanted to be a scientist like Madame Curie. (Later Albert Einstein would call her the German Madame Curie. ) In 1901, she entered the University of Vienna. There, where serious women students were considered odd, she was treated rudely by many of her fellow students. In 1905 she was only the second woman in the university s history to receive a Pli.D. in science.

Professor Meyer was born at Dorpat, Estonia, on September 29, 1883, the elder son of Hans Horst Meyer—who held the chair of experimental pharmacology at the University of Vienna and formulated the modern theory of narcosis known as the Overton-Meyer theory. Two years later, his father became professor at Marburg/Lahn, and it was in this city that Kurt H. Meyer had his early education. The scholarly atmosphere in which he matured, where chemistry and medicine were always very much in the foreground, was to influence him throughout his lifetime. From his father, he inherited his desire for scientific study and research, and from his mother, his taste for the fine arts. His younger brother became a famous heart-surgeon. 

I first met Mark in 1918 at the University of Vienna where we both had a summer study leave from the armed forces. I quickly recognized that he was a gifted student in addition to having gained exceptional merit in the war. That summer he was presented the Leopold Orden which was unusual for a junior officer."... 

Back in Vienna, Mark spent the Christmas of 1914 healing at home. But rest and relaxation for this soldier took an unusual form, for during this break he began his study of chemistry at the University of Vienna. He completed one of the eight required semesters of study, and then returned with his regiment to the front. This time they were sent to the more familiar but no longer hospitable mountains along the Austrian-Italian border. 

Incredibly, a review of Mark s publications also shows that he authored six papers on surface characteristics and dying, five on the X-ray structure of cellulose and polymers, four on X-ray diffraction (including one on the structures of CIi, and CBrij), and twelve review papers. In all Mark contributed to more than seventy papers. More impressive, he penned six books while at the University of Vienna. Two of his books, "Roentgenographic Untersuchung von Kristallen" coauthored by F. Halla (57) and "Hochpolymere Chemie"coauthored by K. H. Meyer (58), were particularly well received. A seventh book,... 

When Mark accepted a position at the University of Vienna in 1932 he was at last formally answering the call of teaching. From the time he left Vienna in 1921 until his return, the years at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute and I. G. Farben, he remained interested and in close contact with the education programs of young scientists. At Ludwigschafen for example, he was simultaneously an industrial scientist and manager, and an Associate Professor at the technische hochschule at Karlsruhe.
