About Andre Morize
Andre Morize was a professor of French literature at Harvard University from 1918 to 1951. He is well known for his involvement and activism during World War I and World War II. In 1900, at the age of 16 he graduated with a Bachelier-ès-lettres from the University of France, and won the Prix d’honneur in the Councours General of the Lycées. The divorce became a local sensation due to Ruth's socialite status, Morize's local presence, and the legal precedence of whether a Suffolk County court could adjudicate a French divorce.
