Art Marshall was born March 2, 1919, in Charleston, S.C., but grew up in South Florida. He served in the Florida National Guard and the U.S. Army during World War II. Marshall received a B.S. degree from the University of Florida in 1953, and a M.S. from the University of Miami in 1956. Following the completion of his formal education he worked for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service for fifteen years as a biologist and an administrator. Upon retirement from Fish and Wildlife, he joined the faculty of the University of Miami as Director of the Division of Applied Ecology and Professor (1970-73). He moved to Interlachen, Fl., in 1974. He served as visiting faculty at the University of Florida, worked as an environmental consultant, and was an environmental activist. He died Feb. 18, 1985, in Gainesville. During his career, Marshall served as a member of the Governing Board of the Central and South Florida Flood Control District and as chairman of the St. Johns River Water Management District board. He received numerous awards for his environmental activities, which as a private citizen were concentrated upon restoration of natural water flow in South Florida, from the Kissimmee River basin to the Everglades.

An endowed chair, the Arthur R. Marshall, Jr. Professor of Ecological Sciences, was created in his honor at the University of Florida and the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, near Palm Beach, was renamed for Marshall. A file pertaining to the endowed chair may be found in the Archie Carr Papers.
