First sentence: When U.S. President John F. Kennedy quoted the British poet John Masefield (1878-1967) during his commencement speech at American University in June of 1963, noting that there "are few earthly things more beautiful than a university," he was not referring to ivy-covered rock walls or quadrangles or towers.
