* Warren [1873-1945], a former associate at Cadwallader and Stong, was a legendary professor at Harvard Law School. Known as "Bull" Warren for his manner in questioning students, he was the primary model for Professor Kingsfield in The Paper Chase. Spartan Education offers a fascinating account of Harvard Law School from the turn of the century to the 1940s, colorful sketches of his professors and Mr. Cadwallader and a summary of his "Spartan" approach to pedagogy. Warren also includes the texts of various addresses and articles dealing with Harvard, legal history, the American Bar and political topics. This is a reprint of the 1942 edition, which was strictly limited to 1000 copies. (Despite requests for additional copies Warren refused to reissue the book instead publishing an abridged edition.) Warren attended Harvard College from 1891 to 1895 and Harvard Law School from 1897 to 1900, where his principal instructors were Ames, Gray, Smith and Thayer. After four years at Strong and Cadwalader, he joined the Harvard Law faculty, where he remained until his retirement.
