I have no doubt FHG earned his master’s degree in Chemical Engineering from Columbia University, I have serious doubts that he did so as late at 1967.

I tried searching without luck. Heck; this must be a bad night, as I couldn't even find "Chester County News" (this article's one reference) to see if they had online archives I could check. ("Find" here means: obtain even 1 Google hit that was strong enough to substantiate such a rag ever existed.)

I tried the Philadelphia Inquirer, whose online archives may go back to 1974 (to check his obit,) but only paying customers get access to them.

Might be another honorary degree or just a typo. I question notability of his inventions. I've reviewed a couple histories of the development of rayon; his name isn't mentioned and rayon was a successful commercial product before he started working. At best his invention was an incremental improvement to the production process. Glendoremus (talk) 07:11, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
