More from George F. Hoar
Perhaps, taking him all together, the most brilliant man in Harvard in my time was John Felton.
But, as I have already said, when the time came, he always subordinated his own desire to what he deemed the welfare of the public.
Judge Hoar strenuously insisted that the Judges of the newly created Circuit Courts of the United States should be made up of the best lawyers, without Senatorial dictation.
He proceeded to attack, to promote his own ambitions, the fair name and fame of the Commonwealth itself.
