As the result of George Stern's efforts, the University president"extended to [Dr. Bruno Stern] the privilege of attending seminars and research courses and of carrying on research in the laboratories and libraries" In addition, the U.S. State Department sent a letter to Germany which helped Dr. Bruno Stern and his wife, Frida, secure a U.S. visa, enabling them to escape Nazi Germany and immigrate to the United States.
