Show John Harvard's History Traced. Until modern times, says the London Lon-don Graphic, John Harvard was "tne Melchi-zedek of New England." He was "without father, without mother, without descent." Se profound was the ignorance concerning the founder cf Amerlcu's first and greatest university,' uni-versity,' that an offer of a princely reward re-ward for "five lines of definite information" infor-mation" about him went unclaimed. Gradually, however, the labors of various va-rious Industrious Investigators bore Trult, until today John Harvard is a real figure of American history, whose footprints on English soil are clearly legible. |
