Penner (he had the friendly nickname “Sol”) came to the United States in 1936, in 1943 he received American citizenship. At Union College in Schenectady , New York, received a bachelor's degree in chemistry (1942), received a master's degree (1943) from the University of Wisconsin , and then a doctorate degree in physical chemistry (1946).
