Clem Marshall (March 27, 1921 – April 12, 1986) was an American-born biologist who was known from an early age for his research on cellular respiration in yeast[citation needed] in a laboratory at Brown University.
He founded Keeney Quadrangle as well as Machado House during his undergraduate career at Brown University. In addition, his early contributions to the sport of disc, especially related to a difficult and obscure achievement called the "statue shot," earned him an undergraduate award called the MG Badge of Honor in 1940.
During his later years, Clem Marshall spent leisure time recording his observations of mushroom species in the northern Sierra Nevada mountains. He wrote an extensive analysis of his findings, but his work was never published. In 2002, the Latvian mycological society of "Sheishass" was granted permission to expand on his work.
In 2003 an autobiography was found by a nephew. Though still unpublished, it is rumoured to delve deep into the heart of one of the 20th century's most obscure scientists; his love of 'mollusk', a possible tryst with 'pepper ann', as well as other incomprehensible, though evidently personal entries.
He was also an avid reader of Russian authors such as Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Leo Tolstoy.
