Bailed out of Ellis Island on condition that he deliver no lectures.

This, of course, is beside the immediate point; it was a stupendous task even to get the scheme under way. Nevertheless, now that a beginning has been made the University should keep a watchful eye focused on the newest of its students' enterprises, helping it over the rough sports, lending it all the advice and assistance which it will accept. Where other persons have talked, this group has acted; and their project, while embryonic at present, bodes well for the future and most not be allowed...
