What was said

"He said the happiest day of his life was hearing the news that he had been admitted as a scholar in Oxford. And the reason for that was had he not won that scholarship to Oxford, he had no means of sustenance or support in Britain and he would have been shipped back to Germany."

Sir Michael Moritz recalls his father saying his happiest day was being admitted to Oxford as a scholar. Moritz says his father believed that, without the scholarship’s support, he could not have remained in Britain and would have been sent back to Germany.
