...almost priceless German chemical patents (explosives, dyestuffs, drugs) which the Government had confiscated as a War retaliation, of licensing U.

...article closes with this quotation from the president of the Robert Browning Settlement in London: "After Master John Harvard had made his appearance on this world's stage, is it not possible that the great poet visited the Harvard home in Southwark and dandled the infant university-provider on his knee? And so you have before you the probability that the founder of the first American university was the issue of a marriage brought about through the instrumentality of the Bard of Avon a combination of which we may well be proud...
