  • Faust Afternoon Speech
    1 Drew Gilpin Faust As delivered Commencement Speech Tercentenary Theatre, May 30, 2013 Harvard University, Cambridge, MA It is always a pleasure to greet a sea of alumni on commencement afternoon—even though my role is that of the warm-up act for the feature to come. Today I am especially aware of the treat we have in store as I look out on not a sea, but a veritable ocean of anticipation. But it is my customary assignment and privilege to offer each spring a report to the alumni on the year that is ending. And this was a year that for a number of reasons demands special note. “The world is too much with us ”—the lines of Wordsworth’s well- known poem echoed in my mind as I thought about my remarks today, for the world has intruded on us this year in ways we never would have imagined. The university had not officially closed for a day since 1978. This year it closed three times. Twice it was for cases of extreme weather—first for superstorm Sandy and then for Nemo, the record- breaking February blizzard. The third was of course the day of Boston’s lockdown in aftermath of the tragic Marathon bombings. This was a 2 year that challenged fundamental assumptions about life’s security, stability and predictability. Yet as I reflected on these intrusions from a world so very much with us, I was struck by how we at Harvard are so actively engaged in shaping that world and indeed addressing so many of the most important and trying questions these recent events have posed.

  • Harvard Law School's Promotional Literature, 1829-1848
    HARVARD LAW SCHOOL’S PROMOTIONAL LITERATURE, 1829-1848 A REFLECTION OF THE IDEALS AND REALITIES OF THE STORY-ASHMUN-GREENLEAF ERA Michael von der Linn† OEL PARKER, CHARLES WARREN, and later scholars attribute Harvard Law School’s renaissance in the years spanning 1829 to 1848 to the endowment provided by Nathan Dane, the sup- J port of President Josiah Quincy, and the contributions of Jo- seph Story, John Hooker Ashmun, and Simon Greenleaf.1 These were indeed the primary reasons for the school’s remarkable growth. Another, which has received little attention, was an aggres- sive promotional campaign initiated by Story in the 1830s.2 This † Michael von der Linn is the manager of the Antiquarian Book Department of The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. 1 The law school’s faculty and staff consisted of two people during this period. Story was the superintendent; Ashmun handled most of the administrative duties. They divided the teaching load fairly evenly. This arrangement continued when Greenleaf joined the faculty after Ashmun’s death in 1833. Asahel Stearns, Story’s predecessor, directed the school from its establishment in 1817 to 1829. He was the sole administrator and primary instructor, but he shared his teaching duties with Isaac Parker, who held a joint appointment with Harvard College. 2 I have found two references. Warren, who provides the quote cited in Footnote 6, devotes a paragraph to this topic. Newmyer, perhaps based on his reading of Warren, mentions it as well. Charles Warren, History of the Harvard Law School 13 GREEN BAG 2D 427 Michael von der Linn was not the first time Harvard issued marketing materials, nor was it the first or only school to use them.3 But the size of Story’s cam- paign was unprecedented.
