"Names make news." Last week the following names made the following news:

On the occasion of his portrait by Charles Hopkinson being presented to Harvard Law School, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of the U. S. Supreme Court (Harvard, 1861) wrote: ". . . my emotions, were I to be present at the presentation of the portrait, would be embarrassing, but fortunately for my composure I cannot leave Washington. I feel very deeply the great honor you do me . . . which seems to make the culmination of my life and to leave me to say, 'and now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace.' "
