Chroust won the highest degree offered by the Law School, that of doctor of Juridical Science, and was held in high esteen by many members of the Faculty. He received several law degrees from Erlangen University in Germany before coming to Harvard in 1933, but received has highest honor here.

Studied in Germany

The latest internee had studied at the University of Munich until 1936, and was known to profess Nazi sympathies in his early years in this country. It is not known, however, whether his opinions have changed since the advent of war.

In the past three years Chroust had remained in Cambridge conducting private legal research. His leisure time was occupied with playing' water-polo at which he was a familiar figure at the pool in the Indoor Athletic Building.

Chroust was interned December 8, but the authorities with-held notice of the action until last Sunday. This move came as a surprise to the members of the Law School, who believed his sympathies to be anti-Nazi at the present time.
