The U.S. Supreme Court Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes is just completing his ninetieth year. March 8, 1931 is the anniversary of a great judge, a great American, a great human being. Distinguished as volunteer soldier, as lawyer, as professor, as justice and chief justice of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, Holmes came to the Supreme Bench of the U.S. in 1902, at an age when the ordinary man is already thinking of retirement. Justice Holmes has been a great judge because he was first a quietly great man, filled with an irrepressible intellectual zest and unflagging enthusiasm for life.
