OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES

In the dedication of the March issue of the Harvard Law Review to Justice Holmes, the University is today adding another tribute to those already paid to one of its greatest graduates. The Law Review, through the praise of its contributors, men of such international distinction as Chief Justice Hughes and Lord Sankey, Chancellor of Great Britain, acknowledges the great debt owed to Mr. Holmes both by the Law School and the profession as a whole.

Justice Holmes once said of the Law School, of which he is both graduate and former teacher, that its crowning glory is "that it has kindled in many hearts an inextinguishable fire." It is, however, the connection with men like himself that has made such a statement about the School possible. Although the University as a whole cannot adequately appreciate Justice Holmes's contributions to the science of Law, it can still join in the praise of one who has shown in his own life the qualities of a discerning man with a true and sincere idea of patriotic justice.
