Dorset was born on December 14, 1872 in Columbia, Tennessee, United States; the son of Walter Clagett Dorcet and Jane Mayes (Arnell) Dorset.
Dorset received a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Tennessee in 1893. Three years later he earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from Columbian University (now George Washington University) in 1896. Also Marion studied medicine for a year at the University of Pennsylvania. He was given a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Iowa State College in 1915.
Dorset began his career as an assistant chemist for the United States Department of Agriculture in 1894. Ten years later he became a chief of the biochemical division at the same department and held it until his death in 1935.
He came to Iowa in 1897 to participate in an effort to eradicate hog cholera. Marion developed an effective cholera antitoxin in 1910. Also he supervised the production of all of the tuberculin used by federally employed veterinarians in the nation-wide campaign to eradicate bovine tuberculosis, which has been under way since 1917. He worked out a formula for an ink that could be used for marketing federally inspected meats and this one piece of work has saved the United States government millions of dollars through eliminating the necessity of using tags for the purpose.
He was a reporter at the Eleventh International Veterinary Congress on "Control of Swine Fever by Immunization" in London in 1930 and at the Twelfth Congress, on "Hog Cholera" in New York in 1934.
