Son of famed Physiologist Jacques Loeb, discoverer of artificial parthenogenesis, Robert Loeb left the University of Chicago after his sophomore year in 1915 to enter Harvard Medical School, graduated magna cum laude.

...Presbyterian Delattre found "tremendous vitality" in certain San Francisco coffee houses and taverns, where "the conversations were creative and there was a kind of acceptance that made freedom possible," and began to wonder if the church should not set up some taverns and coffee houses of its own. Then he heard that the Rev. Robert W. Spike, a general secretary of the Congregational Board of Home Missions, was interested in organizing the same kind of experiment.
