20th century, T.S. Eliot
won the 1948 Nobel Prize
in literature. He studied
at Harvard University, the
Sorbonne and Oxford University.
In 1914, he established
residence in London and,
in 1927, became a British
subject. Eliot was the grandson
of W.G. Eliot, the first
president of the Board of
Directors of the University.
