...himself as a liberal Associate Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court by dissenting twice in the decisions by which the Supreme Court invalidated the Child Labor Acts. Of the present Court, only Justices Van Devanter, McReynolds and Brandeis can recall serving with that outspoken rugged individualistic bachelor Justice. Arch-conservative George Sutherland took his place. Everyone knew at the time of his retirement that one of the public causes which Mr. Clarke hoped to serve was the League of Nations, of which, defying tradition, he was an ardent partisan even before he left the Court.

Recently a Yardling was heard to remark with a lifted eyebrow and a smug smile to an apparently shocked companion: 'You know, I didn't crack a book all day yesterday...
...excellent background for the other essays. Professor Fay has utilized the Harvard College Archives to good advantage and tells an entertaining story of the vicissitudes of the French language as a branch of study at Harvard, from the first clandestine interest in the language spoken by Papists and arch-enemies in the early eighteenth century, down through the organization and growth of the Romance Languages department in the nineteenth century...
