Marraro emigrated to the United States with his family in 1905. He studied at Columbia University, earning BA, MA and PhD (in 1932) degrees. Starting in 1925, he worked at the university, as a Lecturer, Instructor, Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Full Professor. Marraro retired in 1965. Since 1973 the Howard R.
